MINIMALISM: MY JOURNEY TO A SIMPLER LIFE

This book is the story of how my husband, Eric, and I sought to live a life that was happy, free of stress, worry, and unhealthy behaviors. Whether you are a super geeked out minimalist or just someone who is intrigued by people who live with little, we hope that you can look at our journey with an open mind. As we have walked the path to a simpler life, we have started to realize that we don’t want to allow our past, people or our possessions to own or control us. We don’t want to be depressed, unhealthy and consumed by having it all. As we began the journey to live a simpler life, we went from a fifteen hundred square foot house to traveling the country in a cargo van. We hope that it is understood that we don’t believe that living in a van is for everyone. We don’t think that to be a minimalist that you have to live in a van. We think it is very important to express this point clearly. We are not a hundred percent sure it is for us. We think that it will meet the needs we have currently in our life, and it will allow us to seek peace, financial freedom, and accomplish dreams that we wish to fulfill.
