My minimalist lifestyle -- Part 1

A bit about about my minimalist lifestyle with some tips for simplifying your life. Thank you to the subscriber that suggested this!! The book I refer to is "The Joy of Less, by Francine Jay. It is available on Amazon.com as an e-book. This is book that got me started! You can find out even more about me and my lifestyle at my website: http://www.betharon.com.

I'm trying to go minimalist as well, but have a long way to go. I, too, think you have the most soothing, calming voice, Beth. What a pleasure it will be to watch the rest of your videos!

I second your book recommendation, Francine Jay is such a great writer! I started my minimalist journey about six months ago. I know it probably sounds silly, but my very first step was letting my ear piercings close because I was making myself feel guilty for always wearing the same earrings. I hear you on the paperwork, I have SO much of it lying around and I HATE dealing with it!

Hey, listen this lady in on the money - literally. All of these hoarders, or even people who just keep purchasing "stuff", well, "stuff" does NOT make you happy. Why do you think you have to keep buying more? Because "stuff" is not going to provide you with any long-term happiness, and the cycle continues. She was smart enough to realize this and brave enough to change it.

@trinketbox1 Thank you very much for watching and for your supportive comment. I realize my lifestyle is not for everyone but do feel very grateful that I finally made this change for myself.

I like your videos its something I go through -- I hate clutter but what can you do when you have family wife kids ect. Ha ha- its next to impossible. You get to the point of just saying the hell with it! Every time I turn around I'm picking up after other people.
