I think I’ve recently had an epiphany… My life has been riddled with many conflicting inspirations, one cancelling out the other. I’ve always been scattered, nomadic byContinue reading “Writing: The Last Refuge for Life’s Dumbassery”

The Ignored Artist (and for good reason)
Happy Sunday to all my readers! I’m attempting to restructure my time… Can you relate to moments in your life when you realize your priorities are all totally confused? No idea what you do that has value? I have been working toward simple living and a simple schedule for most of my life. My ideaContinue reading “The Ignored Artist (and for good reason)”
Little Boy Lost
Today, I was driving home with a carload of dogs (one of of whom barks aggressively at the slightest provocation…) when I noticed, in a neighborhood adjacent to a busy street, a little boy running, way too young to be out on his own.

What they *DON’T* tell you about minimalism
It was 2015 when I first became aware of the concept of minimalism, but i barely had an awareness of the extent one needs to go, to really reap the benefits of simplifying one’s environment.

It has freed up much space in my life, but also has left aContinue reading “Day Two of Dialing in”

Ten minutes a day for a week; we’ll see how it goes! This will be stream-of-consciousness to get me back in the habit! I have beenContinue reading “Dialing In!”

Good morning everyone! Lately I’ve been reflecting on the difficulty of maintaining friendships, and wishing I had more temperance on what I choose to share. I’m trying hard to be a better listener…
The Millstone of Nostalgia
Hello everyone! Another segment on Project Declutter. Five years have slipped by since I decided to embrace Tiny House living, which, let me tell you, has been a very slipshod process.
Goodbye Journals!
#minimalism #letting go of journals (Aka The Summer I Realized it’s Kinder to the World *Not* to write a Memoir) Hello world! How are you?? I just completed a huge shredding project, which resulted in letting go of 35 years of journals. I have just created enough rat nesting materials for a small village toContinue reading “Goodbye Journals!”
Boxes Rock!
I may have found a way to vastly reduce or almost eliminate the visual noise in my small studio, I think I have been maintaining a mentally exhausting workspace for the last four years, due to a couple misunderstandings about how the brain works, I have been stuck in limbo. A tiny patch of clutter,Continue reading “Boxes Rock!”
