There’s hope for
the pack rat

What looks like simple clutter around the home represents so much more underneath, according to David Tasaka of ClutterStompers: refusal to let go of the past and accept the present, denial of your faults, being "overwhelmed and paralyzed by the burdens you're trying to hide from yourself and others."

Face it and clear the path to a better future by attending ClutterStompers' monthly support group meeting tomorrow, 2 to 4 p.m. at Harris United Methodist Church, Miyama Hall. It might help to know you're not the only one who just can't bear to toss those empty Neiman Marcus shopping bags.

Cost: One-time annual fee of $10, with $1 suggested donation per meeting. Call 735-2986 for more information.
