  • Minimalism is Not Living in a State of Lack

    I am a minimalist. And I have not given away everything I ever owned or am left with 12 pieces of clothing or 30 household items to spend the rest of my life with. That may be the goal, though, to be realized as I learn to meet all my life’s needs with as little…
