My 'Keep-the-Story' project

This year I have had a series of challenges that have driven me to reevaluate my relationship to things.  I am determined to par down and have been making a focused effort to reduce some of my collected paraphernalia. One of the strategies that I have started to use is to take pictures of the item and record the story so I can let go of the things.  I have been referring to this as my 'keep the stories' project.  Several friends have encouraged me to blog about the journey, something that I have resisted thinking nobody else would really care.  I have decided now is a perfect time to take the plunge and jump in with both feet during the Ultimate Blog Challenge for October.  Not only is a blog a great way to keep on track and be accountable, it could also be a chance to challenge others to keep their stories -- while reducing the accumulated collections.
