Bare with me as I am not a writer whatsoever.
Goals are something I continue to always think about but some how never achieve and I am not sure why that is or how I can come about to start achieving them. I have had goals to achieve a lifestyle for some years now since I was 16/17 years old I however did not know what that movement inside me was or if it was even a possibility to be able to achieve this but this desire has continued to burn inside me down to even this day. I finally understood what that desire was one spring day back in 2009 while I was sitting in my salon where I worked waiting on the next client to come in while I was thumbing through Magazines seeing if there was anything interesting to read when I came across the article Back to Basics: Living with Voluntary Simplicity. As I read this article I started to understand what had been burning inside me and that their was actually a name to it this burning, Now mind you this was the beginning of what now is a trend nation wide actually world wide now. Nine years ago I was living small 500 sq ft and well now I am in a 1400 sq ft home I have made some goals for myself for 2018 My GOAL is to have my personal belongings fit in a carry on suitcase this will be my clothes and toiletries small things like my laptop and charging devices and including my jewelry.
Then to make my house a rental airbnb or something of that nature so the things in my home serve a purpose and that I am not attached and that they could easily be sold if need be with this meaning that each item is in it for a reason.
Then my goal for the garage items are to be no storage of anything but outdoor/seasonal recreational items if they are a household item it needs to be dealt with.
My home is brand new we just moved in in OCT 2017 and so therefore I have not brought anything in that I knew I didn't want in it so its setup fairly well I need to adjust my kitchen things a bit but that will come and then my 14 year olds room and things will need to be adjusted so I am working on that as she has no desire to be a minimalist like me and then well my husband mainly has clothes and then tools in the garage which are minimal as well. I am hoping with making this verbal and in print you all will help hold me accountable. I will take before and after photos of each of these steps.
So here is some of whats in my mind and head I have dreams of some of what I want my home to look like while I am still attached to it.
I will figure out how to get pictures added at some point.
Thank you for following my dreams and listening to my heart.
