Super cute story about having too much stuff and being willing to let go and share with others.  More means that the really meaningful stuff gets lost in the shuffle and it's okay to let stuff go if it's going to make other's happy.  Really enjoyed!

I dated someone for a year and a half, for the first year it was stellar.  Then it was just "co-dependence" I guess.  I knew I should leave for about the last 6 months but didn't know how... Then finally he left.  It was 10 months ago, periodically he turns into my "Mr. Big" and pops up and sings the same old tune, only for things to be the same again... I have grieved, and stopped the negative feelings, but I feel nothing when with him yet I still allow him to walk into my life at his convenience... And inevitably leave again.  Now I will be saying my final goodbye this book has helped me realize that I'm not the only one, to ever go through this, this won't be my first heartbreak... Or my last, but I'm so much happier and better off without him.  So thank you!!!!!

I've really enjoyed this book and have been re-reading parts of it as I go through my apartment trying to get rid of clutter and keep only what I love. I have a hard time truly following her prescribed methods, though. I'm a mom who works at home, so I have to do the clearing in stages--not all at once as she suggests. Still, her tips about parting with items that don't bring you joy and making peace with mementos from your past have been enlightening for me. I love the advice about getting rid of all papers except truly importand documents. That's pretty liberating for me. Right now, I'm working on my  8-year-old daughter's room--a tangle of knick-knacks and bits and pieces of toys from old birthday gift bags, school work, pre-K art projects stuffed under the bed, you name it. It's hard, but I'm getting there. Soon, I'd like to bring her into this process, but I don't think she's ready : )

Starting Over brought to my attention  (we all suffer the same pain).  It has helped me to let go of the anger and resentment; let go of the past and stop blocking my blessings.

Sometimes it is hard to find what you really want until  you are about to lose it. Some people will give there all when you don't expect it.

As a person who has wrestled with the compulsion to make everything "right" I understand doing for everybody else and letting your own life, especially your inner life, be put on hold. The day of reckoning is but postponed. The author demonstrates the transformation of letting go of bitterness and not holding onto the ghosts of those who we think have us in thrall, when, upon examination, we are clinging to out of habit.n

We each have our own ways of dealing with problems, sometimes not very well. The author reminds us that we are human and that we make mistakes, some we never forget. In our pain of remembering where we messed up we realize that we are living and breathing and that we can work toward making better choices in the future. Mistakes happen, we can learn from them.

One of the things I liked about "Unstuck at Last" was that the author was able to be vulnerable with her audience enough to allow the reader to be as well. It is much easier to put forth the work towards self growth when you know the author has been there too, and not just giving the reader a text book view of ways to make changes.
I also like that this is not a book you zip through. Take your time. Absorb what is being said, and be open to new possibilities, and ways to be "Unstuck at Last!"

It's ok...but if you turn to stretch or to release sometimes you took them apart.but you can put them back together.

Very hard to turn but I guess it's okay since you have to take your time to plan your move!

It takes some time,  and effort,  but it does work. At first I had to have something to hold on to. (in between a doorway worked for me) . Now, my awkward moments are fading away. It DOES work.

Short and sweet!  It was interesting to read about the problems a cold of a hoarder faces.  Found out that I also have a few hoarding tendencies.  It's difficult to let go of things from people that are no longer in your life.  I'm taking care of some of that today.

I liked it quite a bit, even if the journey might have gone a bit too easily

When the love of your life leaves, where do you go?
This book help me cope with the losses I've had recently and it's a great way to get closure.

It does what it's supposed to do.  My issue is that when you don't want it to do it anymore, it's a bit difficult to unscrew.

You have to be gentle when pushing out the right parts and holding on to what you want to keep, but at least you don't end up with too many for one thing and not enough of the others.

I have been part of, or entirely responsible for, "closing the house" five times so far, due to deaths, or to the diminished ability of loved ones to continue to live on their own. Two of those occasions were the Estates from Hell, with extended probates, knee-high piles of moldy magazines, lost paperwork, and strangers coming out of the woodwork with "promises" that the deceased had made to them; and one was so thoughtfully preplanned and done in stages, that the entire estate was settled within two weeks after my mother died. With each of them, I vowed to organize my documents and possessions to avoid leaving things in a tangled mess for my adult children, who are all in their 40's, live distances away, and have full lives of their own.

So this book has come along at a good time for me, now that I am soon to be seventy, and I am in the physical process of downsizing and organizing; and yes, finally writing my Will, as my daughter annually reminds me.  For my purposes, I especially liked the first two chapters, with checkpoints to refer to while my husband and I still manage pretty well, but are beginning to slow down. It is making it easier and smoother to bring up topics like long distance driving, and hiring help to finish home improvement projects and care for a high maintenance yard, and giving important stuff away now. Having  questions in black and white helps us, and our kids, to watch for signs of how we are really doing, and for us to take care of as much as we can now, so their experience will not be as hard when we are gone.
