Our first Florida “Home” was a one-bedroom furnished apartment 18 miles from Disney World, $345/month. Unfurnished it would have cost us $305/month. But we didn’t own any furniture. None.

The one question that angers people more than just about any other?

When someone sincerely, and expectantly, asks us, “What is the meaning of life?”, we react as if someone has walked into our home and caught us naked.

The most under rated work life balance component is home organization.

And the most often duplicated component is emotion.

Emotion is the same as spirit. It’s what we feel.

The great Summer of 2013 in our home

We take comfort and pride in our collections (not mine, btw)

 

The great Summer of 2013 in our home. Six pulse-check questions:

  1. Are we satisfied with our stuff?
  2. How much of what we have do we never use?
  3. How much stuff are we saving because we think we’ll need it in the future?
  4. How long have we been saying that and how true is it?
  5. Is our stuff choking us?
  6. Are we prepared to do anything with our answers?

I often think about the joyous days of not owning much. The freedom from worry and responsibility.

And remember during those same years how cool it would be to own a lot of stuff to make life easier.
