Any ideas on how to cut those emotional ties to all of the "stuff" your friends and family have given you or things that your mother made for you, or things that came from your grandmother and beyond? I have a house full of memories. The memories I can keep, but the "stuff" I can't. How do I part with all of these lovely material things?

One way to do it is to give the things you love to someone else but, before you do, take a picture of it. Start an album with pictures of everything that has a meaning to you, after all, the reason we hang on to things is because of the memories that they hold. If you have the album, you can always look through it whenever you feel nostalgic.
