Dear GC,
Please, you don't have to post this. Just wanted to say hello and that I am thinking of your and your mom. I KNOW how overwhelming it is to have that much stuff. Please keep at it. It will be tough when GM gets home. If she is like me, she is comforted by the "closeness" of the stuff. It may take some time to get comfortable with the uncluttered open space. It's worth it !!
Please know you have people out there that you've never met that think of you and wish only the best for you and your mother.
Take Care,
Amy
[note from GC: thank so much Amy!! i did post it though :) i appreciate your comment!]

It's great to see the progress you're making with de-cluttering! You should be so proud of what you've accomplished - maybe if I send my Mom a link to your site she'll get inspired to tackle her kitchen - I can't even tell you how much tupperware and old margarine tubs from 30 years ago is in one of the cabinets at her house. Keep up the good work, and keep snapping those pictures of the progress you're making!

WOW! You are an ispriration to me GC! I soooo need to follow your lead and declutter. I hope GM is feeling better.

Good going! I wish I could just get the motivation to start!
You should be proud! And GM will be thrilled when she gets home! Or she will not recognize the place and think you are putting her in some home?
You go girl!

Go, GC, go!!! :)
