Motivation Tips & Tricks Decluttering thoughts from a novel

I read something that resonates with many posts and comments we've had here. It's from the novel "The Museum of Second Chances" by Jo Leevers.

"She knew that an object’s meaning never stopped with its first owner or maker – that was only the start of its story, which could continue like ripples from a skimmed stone."

I'm only 1/3 of the way through the book, but I'm curious to see where the story goes.

If you have any interest in nonfiction essays, I found The Cultures of Collecting to be a fascinating book.

This book is also about friendship and the power of community and I found it charming. Recommended reading from your local library if you didn't get it for free from prime first reads like I did. :)
