This is my online journal/commonplace book. I use to post things that interest me or things that I want to keep track of and go back read at another time. I am an "Infojunkie" (as my mother loving dubbed me), and this blog allows me to have an outlet for my infojunkie ways. :o)

Minimalism
“Minimalism for me is about having room for experiences and people.” – quoted from http://www.missminimalist.com/2012/05/real-life-minimalists-sarah-circus-nachos/
Every Monday I read Real Life Minimalists. This weeks post is about Sarah who is going through all of her father’s belongings after his death. I dread the idea of anyone going through my things after my death. I participated in this job a couple of years ago when my dear “Grandma P” passed away. It made me really think about all the stuff we collect over the years and how much of it we don’t need or use. So slowly I have been going through my home trying to eliminate all the excess. I like the idea of minimalism, maybe one day I will be able to say I am a minimalist. :)
