My First Adventure in Minimalism

First week on minimalisim. 
This is so hard for me. I'm taking an old dining buffet back to my mom. It was my grandmother's, and for one year I used it for storage.  It is a functional piece made of pine with many drawers, for my collection of papers, notes, clippings, tissue paper for the random birthday gift, etc. Paper I am tossing into the recycle bin. These are the types of papers, magazine clippings I use to remind myself of design, packaging, color, and even workouts I can do in my spare time. 
However, now I'm squished up in our car waiting to somehow operate this vehicle without much mobility in my upper body. Steering will be a challenge much less shifting gears. Speaking of shifting this is huge for me on many levels.  I am a pack rat. A pack rat of things paper emotions. Too much stuff...


This Blog is my real adventure of simplifying and changing my gypsy, pack rat ways into a streamlined minimal existence.
