Baggage Loaded and Unloaded

I did it - I actually packed a majority of my suitcase last night.

In the process, I was dismayed to realize that I have very few items for the "cooler months" that I actually like. Just as I was staring at my closet, waiting for things I liked to appear, I realized I had all my favorite items  in the dryer already. I was way ahead of myself. Silly girl. Clearly going to the gym did not revitalize your brain as you had hoped it would.

In the ever constant quest to pack, unpack and repack our both figurative and literal baggage I found myself wondering who is there to help us with that process?

Apparently, Daily GOOD was wondering the same thing when they stumbled upon a new website dedicated to checking one's "emotional baggage." In return for your checked baggage you get a song from a stranger - to encourage you through whatever it is you are going through. This morning I sent off some baggage and got a Bob Marley song in return, and then took on someone's else's baggage and sent them some good old Christian Aguilera.

Check this out - it's pretty neat if you ask me. And if you are reading this... you kind of are asking for my opinions... right?


Check Your Emotional Baggage in Exchange for a Song

Feeling weighed down by emotional baggage? A new web service offers a quick pick-me-up. Simply upload your drama to Emotional Bag Check—whether your burden relates to relationships, school, or work—and you'll get advice from a stranger in the form of a song she hand-picked to help you cope. Or if you're feeling emotionally generous, you can get a taste of someone else's turmoil and send a song his way to help him deal.
