Do We Own Our Possessions,
OR Is It The Other Way Around?

What drives our desire to keep things we no longer need or use?

It would be so helpful if there was a simple answer to that question, but the truth is, there are many reasons. Objects can represent a connection to a significant time, experience, or to a person in our life. Objects also express who we are now, who we used to be, or whom we long to be. It's complicated, I know...

As a Professional Organizer and Coach, helping people understand their connections to possessions and guiding them to make decisions based on their needs and goals is something I do on a regular basis.

This past week I listened to a fascinating podcast in the Hidden Brain series featuring Psychologist, Bruce Hood, author of the book,

During the podcast, Bruce Hood offers great insight into the phenomenon of ownership. CLICK HERE to listen to the Hidden Brain Podcast.

Sharing a Private Accomplishment

You may not know this, but I am a singer. Music has always been a huge part of my life and even though I chose not to pursue singing as a career, I sing all the time and it's a great source of joy. Prior to the pandemic, I sang with several choruses, a women's acapella ensemble, and a sextet. I had even started taking private voice lessons again!

This year was hard not being able to make music in person with friends and fellow musicians. However, I did participate in a virtual performance with the Rye Country Day School Festival Chorus. For several weeks we practiced "Bridge Over Troubled Water" on Zoom with our charming, ever-patient, and talented conductor, Mary Marcell. Eventually, each of us recorded our own singing track at home using fancy recording software provided by the school. The result is a recording that is visually and musically beautiful, and I am so glad I stuck with it! Please click below to listen.
