I didn't get a story, but I received an inspirational email just in time!
The Etsy buyer has the clover one now!
I've been collecting Miffy and Sanrio items, since childhood. My favorite being stationery!

Since my insomnia has been back for over a month now and last week, I accidentally got glutened, I haven't exactly been myself lately. I was starting to feel sorry for myself and my hoard, until I got this email from an Etsy buyer!
Here it is!
Hi! I received my order yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to find a handwritten note from you. Your story is remarkable. You have amazing strength and determination. Some days will naturally be easy going but some days you will find your focus and determination swaying. Never let that happen. You are on a path of healing. Thumbs up to you! You are an inspiration
I just love how every page has a bunny on it!

Here is what I wrote back:
Good morning!
Thank you for making my morning! How did you know I needed a welcome pep talk? The last couple of weeks my determination and strength were slowly swaying and not into a good direction! but your email has lifted me up with the reminder to stay on the path of healing!
I hope you know how much your email means to me!

PS. Can I use your email on my Hoarder Rehab and The Destiny of Things blog as a reminder to remain on my path of healing? I will leave you anonymous.

I have a difficult time letting go of my Miffy and Sanrio stuff!

Saying Goodbye: Not so easy, but able. I don't even use memo pads anymore, but some day in the back of my mind, I think I might! And I'd want to use one of these! Solution: if I do, I'll just buy "ONE" Miffy pad.
What I Learned:
1. I need to do some digging as to why it's so difficult for me to let go of my Miffy and Sanrio collection. I think it might be because I don't think I'll ever see my vintage Sanrio again, but on the other hand, since I know I'll most likely never see my vintage Sanrio again, especially my stationery, I never use it anymore. That just leaves me stuck and not moving forward!
2. I think it might just be that I'm tired from the insomnia and gluten makes me foggy headed and gives me stomach aches with digestion problems for about a week, so maybe it's just the combination of those two things because I love my Chococat stuff and I didn't feel uneasy about letting most of my Chococat collection go!
I think to keep my health my #1 priority! and start reading food ingredients more diligently. The organic white corn tortillas we bought had wheat listed in the ingredients, but not on the front labeling!
3. I think I'll take photos of my vintage Sanrio collection because doing that with my Penny doll collection helped me to start letting them go. I think because I could see the collection all at once and realize there is no way I'd ever use all those dolls in my mixed media art. Most likely I'll come to the same realization with my Sanrio stationery.
4. Now I just have to find it and dig it out! I wonder what other things I'll find....

Everyday is an adventure dehoarding on Etsy! I never know who I'll meet and I have met so many Etsy buyers who share their stories with me and every time I glean some insight about where my dehoarding journey is taking me.
Thank you Etsy for the best Hoarder Rehab ever! And for all the kind people I'm meeting who are helping me indirectly and directly in so many ways with my Hoarder Rehab! I've been gleaning so much insight about my hoarding ways.
