Although I have always got things organised in my home, I must confess there was a time in my life when I owned more than what I own today. But becoming a mother and 2 years later deciding to leave the corporate world so I could work from home while taking care of my son drove me to make space in my home for all the baby paraphernalia and for a home office. Even though the decision to purge came out of my desire to keep things organised in our home, I quickly realised that owning less also made my life easier.
Please Don’t Call Me A Minimalist
People often assume that because of my job I must be a minimalist. Granted, I advocate, and practise, stripping out excess stuff in order to make room for the things that matter. And I often share on my Facebook page quotes and articles that I find quite inspirational from well-known minimalists, in particular, Courtney Carver and Joshua Becker. But I don’t like being referred to as a minimalist because of the misconceptions that surround the term and that don’t reflect my life and work philosophy.
