epiphany

after spending a lot of time editing my closet yesterday i realized that i waste a lot of energy, and never mind hard earned money, on clothes. i boxed the clothes (for my sister and for goodwill)...and i am adding something to it - my focus on material goodies. signora!

thinking about how i got to this point where i waste so much on materials i chuckle... the old erica would have scoffed, pink hi-lights falling into her eyes, as she returned to "the bell jar" or sketchbook, headphones blasting...

Tyler put it best, "The things you own end up owning you."
why bags - nobody wants baggage, i am happiest when i am barefoot - clothes... well.. you get the picture..

the point is to be free. you have your passion and your health - what else is there? On a deeper level you have to ask yourself, are my possessions my selling point? Do i have nothing else to offer... And if so, who are you selling to? Obviously if the friends you keep judge upon the car you drive or the bag you carry then you both really suck.

the most sexy is rolling out of bed, throwing a sun dress or a pair of jeans on, and slipping into flip flops... jumping into a car and just taking off on a trip - no baggage...no ties.

so goodbye excess baggage...hello challenge time! the hunt is more fun - thrift stores, vintage...hell maybe a playful attempt at sewing - who knows!

so my boxes are sealed. challenge set. free is sexyyy

hello again real erica - except this time no pink hair

..yet
