one month

we’ve been minimal for one month now…

• the house is cleaner.
• the house stays cleaner. 
• there is less clutter taking up space and energy in almost every room.
• needed items are easier to find – especially in closets.
• there is less distraction in our offices – work and home.
• spending is down.
• we’ve made $250 selling our old things and donated countless items to charity.

it’s been a good month for a typical suburban family in america becoming minimalist. 

last week, one reader commented that she had been inspired to donate 5 bags of clothing to the salvation army.  have you been inspired to minimalize any part of your home/life over the past month?  if so, let us know.
