RV happy yet? Minimalism
Living over 50 years where much of our identity was where we lived and how we lived to “minimalism” was quite a leap. How was such a leap accomplished? In our research some folks took a year or two going through all their possessions, organizing and storing much of what they had. A truly life changing resource we fell in love with was Becoming Minimalist. Joshua challenged us every day with radically freeing thoughts.
What if everything you want. is buried under everything you don’t. by Joshua Becker
We learned minimalism wasn’t living poor or fairly destitute. Minimalism was living a small purposeful life. The possessions we chose to remain in our lives were items that we valued and found useful. So much in our life was just clutter. We used up our creative thoughtfulness cleaning, storing and maintaining items we had never used during our whole lives. Paring down our belongings to the truly useful and non-useful reduced our estate drastically.
We were able to sell some of our larger items, like our home, furniture, car, bikes and tools which provided us with revenue. We donated many items to the battered women’s shelter. What an indescribable feeling of joy we experienced, our overage was bringing hope and new life to someone who truly needed it.
It was now time to tackle keep sakes, photos and all the trinkets in our top dresser drawer. Stay tuned.
