Over the holidays I gave up my huge purse in favor of a much smaller clutch because one, it was a gift, and two, I really need to stop carrying around so much crap. All that fits inside it are the essentials: wallet, sunglasses, keys, phone, lip balm, hot dog.
It’s forcing me to live more simply, to throw away the stubs and receipts and detritus that pile up until I can’t find my damn phone. And it was a nice metaphor to start the new year: figure out what’s important and get rid of everything else.
My wisdom is overflowing today, you guys.
