How many plates, bowls, glasses and serving bowls does one person need? It depends on how much you entertain. I don’t entertain very often so when I went through my inventory of dishes and serving bowls I had an abundant supply of stuff I didn’t need. Mismatched and gathering dust.
Here’s the key – What do I find myself using all the time? What do I use when I entertain? For example: Even if I don’t entertain all the time I know I will need a good sized platter for turkey or appetizers when I do choose to entertain.
And do I need all of those sets of wine glasses, martini glasses etc. or would a few glasses do when company does come over? I kept a set of wine glasses and two martini glasses.
My purpose is to downsize and free up space in my mind and environment to lift the load of too much stuff.

When pain becomes your life – Awaken Your power to Heal
I’m constantly looking for patterns and behaviors to examine, feel and heal. It’s a never-ending battle of what is it, who did I blame, how I judge myself for the latest failure to prove to myself that I am worthy. It’s an exhausting process that doesn’t yield the greatest results. I overthink my problems to the point of sleepless nights and worry consumes my every waking moment until I stop and connect to the divine – call all my angels and have a meeting of the Mind, Body and Spirit. In other words, I give myself a break.
