Spella Not me! I keep them, plus where I work I can take home the boxes left behind from guests. I have an endless supply!

Spella I love brownies! I'm feeling great, but I know not to push it, an injured back is a fragile thing.

Spella Oh I'ma resting! I'm just a bit of a workaholic, so sometimes it's hard to take care of myself. But my husband is helping me with that :)

Spella @norcal For now, yes. my goal is to become a level of minimalist that makes life more comfortable for me. I don't know if I will ever become a "true" minimalist, but having goals help drive me :)

Spella @Jessicalynnt That's great! I started out like that, before I moved out of my dad's. Growing up, I was kind of a hoarder, so many toys, gadgets, souvenirs, and it was too much to take with me. So, like you, I took it one shelf at time. My sisters were there...

Spella I hope they transitioned well with the change! I am preparing myself for smaller living, because it might be all we can afford once my husband graduates and is employed (we most likely will have to move to the job).

Spella Go ahead and fill it! As long as you love what you have! I still have quite a few things I don't "need" but they hold memories, and I still need to display them, so that they are not in a box, hiding that memory from me. With minimalism, I can have cake and...

Spella Great for you! It makes me happy to hear of others having a positive experience with letting go of their possessions, it can be hard to do. But once you start, it gets easier!

Spella It sure does! And it's less time to clean too. The more I had before, it seemed I would put off the washing and then it would pile up. Now it's so much easier!

Spella We plan of moving too, in the middle of next year. I think going thru stuff now is better than moving it and then going thru it, but the lifestyle I think will fit me better that before

Spella I live in an apartment, so I'm living kind of small already LOL but I do want to one day buy a smaller than the average American house, and make it a cozy home. I'm happy for you and your positive changes! Good luck with finding a vehicle!
