The Food Processor
Even with a passion for order, and a clear understanding about letting go of the no longer loved, used or functional; from time to time I am challenged too. I have nothing but gratitude for the experience as it gives insight and reminders of what it is like for our clients to let go.
Recently for me it was the food processor. Here is what letting go of it looked like.
Questions and answers to myself:
How long have you owned it? It was a wedding gift 20+ years.
When is the last time you used it? A year or possibly longer ago.
What are your favourite things to make with it? Cheesecake and that amazing cheese torte.
What is the likelihood you will ever make these again? Slim to none.
So what if you wanted cheesecake? I would go somewhere fabulous to get one like Max’s or Fratelli.
Okay, decision made, it goes.
At this point I did not hesitate; I added it to some client donations already in the car, jumped in and drove away.
I blessed the food processor for the many great years we had together. Celebrated its future with someone who would love, appreciate and use it.
Then I focused on my future, enjoying a New York or chocolate cheesecake someone else had made.
