The art of downsizing is getting to the point where you have just enough; a point of sufficiency and satisfaction.
This book focuses on the emotional side of downsizing. It is not about the practicalities of
sorting and selling and donating, but how it feels to do all that, to get rid of your
children's favorite toys, even if your children now are forty years old with their own children.
How it feels to discard years' worth of pictures of family vacations, holidays, celebrations. The
disappointment and disbelief when those things you've been saving "for the children" are not
wanted by them. Sara holds nothing back as she talks about her pain and sadness and
exhaustion. She also shares her sense of relief and of lightness as she gets closer to realizing she has just enough; that all the stuff is completely unnecessary for her sense of sufficiency and of joy.
As you read about her emotional journey, you will know you're not alone during yours. You will
find Sara a caring, light-hearted, funny companion along the way, offering helpful hints
on how to communicate effectively with Real Estate Agents, Professional Downsizers, Stagers,
friends and family. She offers sage advice about taking care of yourself during the process, and
understanding what "getting to enough" means and how it can be so helpful to you.
