    Life Decisions

    27 February 2022 /

    Photo by Burst on Unsplash Sundays are my lay-in day. My husband gets up with the kids and usually, I sleep in with a cheeky cup of tea. But this morning, I’ve been unable to sleep, so I got up and opened my blinds, letting in the crisp early-morning sun, then I began typing these thoughts. There are a couple of reasons I couldn’t get back to sleep. Firstly, the terrible invasion of Ukraine, and worrying about my good friend in Russia. My heart and my thoughts are with everyone affected by these horrific events, and I want nothing more than for Ukraine to experience peace again sooner rather than later. Secondly, the…

    Passing on Your Light

    15 February 2022 /

    Photo by Aamir Suhail on Unsplash I used to hold onto everything. Toys from my childhood, things that brought back painful memories, things I thought gave me an identity, and even people who took away my dignity and self-respect. Then there were the people who had passed. So devastated I was that I held tightly onto the things I received from them and boxed them up as if the memories might escape. Last year, when my elderly friend passed who I’d known since I was small, I thought about how another light had passed from this word. Even in her ripe old age, she was popular and always had people visiting. She always…

    3 Roadblocks to Starting Decluttering, 3 Ways to Smash Through Them

    13 February 2022 /

    Photo by Arnel Hasanovic on Unsplash I want to talk about 3 of the most common barriers to decluttering, because while many of us imagine a less stressful wardrobe and not tripping over toys and shoes, getting started is half the battle.  So many times I’ve heard people say;  “I just don’t have time”, or “I’d love to,but my partner/family won’t get rid of their stuff”, or “It’s too overwhelming, I don’t know where to even begin!” If all of that sounds familiar to you, here are three ways you can overcome those decluttering hurdles.  Declutter Your Priorities Most of us are living busy lives. We are parents, have jobs to attend, households…

    5 Benefits of Less

    10 February 2022 /

    Photo by Artem Beliaikin on Unsplash As I’ve built my decluttering muscles and let go of more and more stuff from my life, people have asked me questions, some curious, and others fearful. The curious wonder what minimalism is and how it is that I’ve got rid of so much stuff. The fearful ones tend to ask, “But you’re not going too far with it are you?”, or react with horror and say things like, “You won’t have anything left!”  And my answer to them is this: with minimalism, I have only gained. The more stuff I let go of, the more I gain in terms of time, sanity, and self awareness, extra…

    Extreme Minimalism isn’t Extreme

    4 February 2022 /

    Photo by Daniel Hering on Unsplash I’ve been a minimalist for 5 years and over time have found myself attracted to extreme minimalism. Extreme minimalists go all out, choosing to own only the essentials while freeing up their new time and space for fulfilling passions such as travel ,career, or simple peace and tranquility.  Some examples of extreme minimalists are Fumio Sasaki who wrote Goodbye Things, Youheum from Heal Your Living, and Anja on Anja’s Artworld.  Extreme Minimalism does have limitations, and it’s especially challenging to achieve if you have a family, but it’s absolutely possible. It’s also one of the most freeing lifestyles you can adopt.  To be honest, I don’t even…
