I've been reading all of the back posts, and what a neat place this is! I was a hoarder as a young adult, because as a child I had a schizophrenic stepfather who moved us at least once every 6 months. It took a lot of pain to get through the idea that I do not NEED a lot of things to be happy, and I switched perspectives.
The television show Clean House is what finally made me SEE where I was headed, and my life and that of my family has been happier since.
We are moving across states this May or early June, and I am determined to bring no clutter with me. 
Look forward to reading more of your posts!
Have a beautiful day!
