I enjoyed the book all the way through but really the last chapter to me was the very best. It really got me thinking about what I want my legacy to be for my children who are actually adults now. I have been a minimalist for more than 10 years so they will not be inheriting many “things “but I love the idea that they will have lots of memories of experiences with me. – ‘Keep the Memories, Not the Stuff’ book on Goodreads

She has some great advice on getting rid of expensive items. My husband and I both have Harley Davidson jackets and other clothing that we no longer use or even care to wear but due to the initial cost we had a hard time letting go until we read Ms. Bryants advice, We have donated everything. Thank you Ms. Bryant. – ‘Ready to Rightsize?’ book on Goodreads

#18: READY TO RIGHTSIZE AND KEEP THE MEMORIES NOT THE STUFF: These are 2 books by the same author…short and to the point so I will put them together. Very enlightening. I am a self-proclaimed organized hoarder who has acquired things not only from my parents, but my grandparents and great-aunts—-and was so sure that our kids would need and want these items….LOL! You know how it is….when you have the room, you keep the item. Time to get busy as there’s more coming, and the points made here are very helpful. I do have to admit that with having “moved” a few items—I definitely felt better, and with more things coming home—I am definitely feeling stressed…….I know that we will be moving and downsizing our lives within the next 5 years ( I think) and I highly recommend these reads! One was KU and one was Am….PS The combination of pages in these books would be 109 :) :) – ‘Ready to Rightsize?’ book on Goodreads

I recently started working in the Senior Move Managerial space and found Jeannine to be a valuable resource. This book gives more approaches to sorting and making decisions regarding a loved one’s things, but all of her advice is sound and practical for anyone helping an older adult downsize or sort through their things. I love the line, “If it’s not a ‘HECK YES’ then it’s a ‘NO'”. (61). I also like the idea of setting time limits to sort – 30, 60 or 90 minutes. I will use that with clients, so we all know we have a starting and stopping point and time for a break:). – ‘Keep the Memories, Not the Stuff’ book on Goodreads
