If you have visited the "About" page of this blog, you'll know that I was originally inspired to start on the path of minimalism by Leo Babauta through his blog zenhabits. I also wanted to take a moment to recognize Joshua Becker at becomingminimalist. It was his blog chronicling his own journey that inspired me to record mine. There is a certain amount of accountability once your goal is out in the public domain for everyone to see! I didn't feel right proceeding any further with this blog until I had recognized the main sources that I'm using as a guide.
As I went to bed last night, my mind was full, and I was not able to sleep well - or at all actually. I started thinking about different projects I needed to have done by certain dates in order to purge a decent portion of my belongings before I move, but what really kept me up was all of the ideas of how I could make this blog more meaningful for myself and others. How I could make it my own. New blogs on minimalism and living well pop up every day. What different insight could I provide that isn't already out there?
While my mind was racing, I was able to write down some ideas I want to write about here (one of which was re-referencing a book on meditation to quiet the mind). I always appreciate comments and suggestions since this will be an enormous learning opportunity for me and will also pace myself so I don't have an overwhelming amount of posts on one day and then no posts for two weeks. Well, I hear that book on meditation calling me from the general direction of my bed...
