Correction – I “had” a lot of red – now my friends have it! It was really a great party, and so much was shared that is not appropriate for me to write about on the blog (though I will admit there was some partial nudity, spontaneous interpretive dance, and free-flowing wine).

Whether you want to do this to declutter or make a little money, you’ll be surprised at how much of an emotional boost you get from sharing your past with your friends.

In my case, most of the items came from before we got to Seattle, so many of my friends had never even known “corporate” me or “single” me. There were some great stories to tell! Lots of laughs, a few tears, and a really good time. I highly recommend it.

Wow. What a great idea.

It sounds like a fabulous evening, but I want to hear the “scandalous” part…

I wish I was a Seattle friend- you’ve got a lot of red- my favorite!
