Do your belongings bring you joy? If not, they could bring joy to a guest in need of essential items.<\/p><p><br \/>After watching a Netflix special about Marie Kondo, a tidying expert and creator of the KonMari Method, her unique approach to ridding your life of clutter, Carol decided to clean out her closets at home, and bring some joy over to the Mary Brennan INN soup kitchen.<\/p><p><br \/>The method is simple. According to Marie Kondo\u2019s website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.konmari.com\">www.konmari.com<\/a>, \u201cKeep only the things that speak to the heart, and discard items that no longer spark joy. Thank them for their service \u2013 then let them go.\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Carol\u2019s donations of joy for someone else included lots of clothing from herself, her husband and son. She packed up her car and brought the items right over. It\u2019s not the first time Carol has donated items; she has been doing it for years. After her retirement from News 12, she donated dozens of the dresses she wore as an anchor on the air. \u201cI loved the idea of sparking joy for others. The INN is a wonderful, local place to donate, and you can be sure your items will go to someone in need. So go through your closets and bring The INN some joy!\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9e6285 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b9e6285\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2180\" height=\"2403\" src=\"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-22-24-Carol-Silva-Clothing-Donation-Marie-Kondo-Joy.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-5966\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-22-24-Carol-Silva-Clothing-Donation-Marie-Kondo-Joy.jpg 2180w, https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-22-24-Carol-Silva-Clothing-Donation-Marie-Kondo-Joy-272x300.jpg 272w, https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-22-24-Carol-Silva-Clothing-Donation-Marie-Kondo-Joy-929x1024.jpg 929w, https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-22-24-Carol-Silva-Clothing-Donation-Marie-Kondo-Joy-768x847.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-22-24-Carol-Silva-Clothing-Donation-Marie-Kondo-Joy-1393x1536.jpg 1393w, https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-22-24-Carol-Silva-Clothing-Donation-Marie-Kondo-Joy-1858x2048.jpg 1858w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2180px) 100vw, 2180px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Carol Silva and Dana Lopez, The INN's Director of Marketing &amp; Communications<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-af00e9a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"af00e9a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e6c2902\" data-id=\"e6c2902\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4753348 elementor-icon-list--layout-inline elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"4753348\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items elementor-inline-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-inline-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">February 16, 2024<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-inline-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">The INN<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carol Silva, former News 12 Long Island anchor and long-time friend of The INN has a question for you.
