Living Minimalist 1

Here we are! WOT are we going to discuss here? Minimalist Living. I’m going to share with you some of my Living Minimalist practices that I do at home in subsequent posts.

But first, I want to share with you these Minimalists (people) who had profound influence with changing my perspective of how I was living my own life. We all have tragic moments in our personal lives and sometimes we just have to declutter, shed and latch on to a refreshing, jubilant, rediscovery of ourself!

It really begins with just you. At first anyway. On your own terms.

My introduction into the realm of Minimalist Living began from my reading a virtually cheap ebook (at the time) on Amazon.com by Francine Jay, called, Miss Minimalist: Inspiration to downsize, declutter and simplify.

This ebook literally changed my life! I wish I could say I knew Francine but I don’t, but her words changed my life in a tangible way.

About Me

Then about the same time, two guys named Joshua Fields Milburn and Ryan Nicodemus, who I dub the Minimalist evangelists emerged and really lit my fire!  Their personal stories are deeply felt. I don’t know these guys either, but I know their “stories” so well.

Third, is Leo Babauta’s extraordinary blog where talks about his struggles and revelation. He’s not single anymore. He’s married with children. And his wife isn’t a minimalist in the vein he is in so his minimalist life is one of compromise. Real life. How do the Babauta’s balance this?

Note: Since this blog’s entry, Leo’s life attention has become very family driven, and according to his update, he isn’t blogging fulltime.

  31. Hello Health Benefits of Coconut Oil,
    As a consequence of your experiences here, I received several technical questions about how might someone develop their own blog or better define their own “mission” to inform others!

    Since I am not at all a technical wizard and am new to blogging myself, I chose WORDPRESS as it offers many types of free (as well as optional for-a-fee website) template designs. The website template design that I am using here is free.

    Also, I wanted a simple, Host-engine that is affordable, intuitive, easy to use, and secure so I chose SITEGROUND. The host is the wizard behind the green curtain of the Emerald City of Oz!

    Just click on the web-links below to learn more about WORDPRESS and SITEGROUND.

    Howdy! I know this is somewhat off-topic but I needed to ask.
    Does operating a well-established website such as yours take
    a lot of work? I’m completely new to operating a blog however
    I do write in my diary every day. I’d like to start a blog so
    I can easily share my personal experience and views online.
    Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
    Appreciate it! Quest bars cheap fitnesstipsnew1 quest bars cheap 516999410492780544 quest bars cheap

  48. Howdy J! I apologize that my responses cannot address everyone, so I try to comment in general for many. Thank you for your questions.

    First off, I think it is great that you write in your diary everyday! I think the love of writing be it with a pencil, or computer key board, or quill and ink is the basic foundation for blogging: sharing your thoughts in a tangible way! As with your method of writing in your diary, whichever method you use, whichever way you bring forth your inner-most thoughts, and whichever way you feel most comfortable in expressing yourself, whichever means you let your creativity emerge, the idea is to write!

    In perspective, human kind has been expressing their thoughts and imagery for millions of years, and we should continue this momentum for the sake of civilization!

    If i can leave some thoughts with you: My blog is a personal desire to express and share my feelings and thoughts about life with other like-minded people. My blog isn’t a commercial or for-profit medium, and I do not receive any monetary compensation or like-compensation from anyone. I write because as all “writers”, I have a desire to express, share, and maybe inspire good!

    My blog’s template is one of the free templates available through WORDPRESS, while the Host-engine which gives life to the template is powered by SITE GROUND (which offered a special at the time i signed up. So, this is an expense I pay annually).

    Since I am not being paid by anyone to blog, I am not tied-down to producing a minimum of blog posts which gives me less stress and abundant freedom to go with the flow. I had once thought I’d write a certain amount of blogs each month, but this proved to cause an artificial “writers block”.

    Yes, I guess I could just write for quantity, but the creative content may not be up to my expectations.

    You and your peers here, encourage me to be creative, unique, perhaps distinctive. And for my personality, I really require to have creative freedom on my blog’s content.

    If I may, I started getting out of my fear of writing for others, when I self-published my ebook on Amazon.com called, “HAIKU WELL – A Collection of Haiku Reflections and Tips on Writing Your Own Haiku. (The title is to allow you to look into a well of clear water, and see these poetic reflections).

    In this very first attempt to reach out, I thought I’d try the medium of ebook. I wanted to share my thoughts with the world! I was motivated to do it! It was an experiment, to try. It was both exciting as well as frightening. I had no guidance, no expectations. For my ebook, I just followed Amazon.com’s online the instructions on how to get started in writing and publishing my own ebook.

    The main fear was whether my ebook would be accepted by others. That was in the year 2012. It’s been 6-years since, and it still cost only $1.50. I have a feeling, Amazon.com feels sorry for me and has been kind to let me be and not yank the cord!

    Back to my blog: This medium was compelling to nurture my deep desire to write freely and yes, I never thought anyone would leave a comment! Everyone here via your kind comments and thoughts made me realize the world is much larger than I ever imagined, and more importantly, there are so many like-minded people wanting to inspire, share, learn, and give!

    In all honestly, my blog originated in the same spirit as my ebook experiment: To Try! That is all that matters, that we try.

    It’s like baking your first chocolate chip cookie. We start by enjoying the wondrous aroma coming from the kitchen. And one day, we feel compelled to want to try making a homemade cookie. The eating part is a bonus! And one day, you go forth and try!

    Many thanks for your inspiring questions and thoughts! Keep on writing, keep on creating and keep on inspiring all of us. I know all the people to this blog are cheering for you and everyone else wanting to try!!

    And certainly, thanks on your sweat!

  62. Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re
    using? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but
    I’m having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems
    different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  63. Aloha,

    I use WORDPRESS and the WordPress template that I am using (at the time of selection) was a “free” template. WORD PRESS also has “For-a-Fee” templates as well. I am new to blogging myself so I really wanted a template that was easy for me to navigate, populate and maintain (in the sense of adding and editing creative content).

    The template that I am using serves either as a “Website” or a “Blog”. So that might explain why in comparing other “Blog Engines” the one I am using just seems like a hybrid or something. I sought a template that could do both in case my needs changed.

    Website/blog? What’s in a name right? I think it’s helpful to see if the “functions” can meet your needs, whether you’re a first-timer or whether you envision the possibility of expanding your offerings.

    SITE GROUND which is the host behind WORD PRESS’s templates seemed to be a good match since they apparently work-together. SITE GROUND also has options to buy additional “add ons”, “plug-ins”, “Security features”and other features I think most of us are concerned about.

    Also, at the time I started, SITE GROUND had a sale! A discounted price to start, and that attracted me. Since I wanted basic security too, I looked at the most affordable choices available. I took a middle-ground: Basic foundation, basic security, affordable cost (in case the website/blog didn’t work out, it would be a huge financial loss).

    Contrary to some comments from people posting on this website/blog, WORD PRESS and SITE GROUND is a package I needed because it’s plug-n-play, and, I don’t know and didn’t have to know any cryptic and sophisticated programming language.

    Due to my “this is my first time doing this”, I wanted something that would be easy to learn, intuitive and forgiving if i made mistakes. I really didn’t know how blogs worked, but I wanted to experiment, which is where I am today!

    I hope this kind of helps?
    Thank you for a great question.

  65. First of all I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if
    you don’t mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself
    and clear your head prior to writing. I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts
    out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like
    the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost
    simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or
    hints? Appreciate it!

  66. Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is
