Welcome to the Cowtown Minimalist!

Greetings from the Cowtown Minimalist!  Here at CM, we hope to promote and encourage the concept of minimalism and paring down to life's finest assets.   For you, this may be travel, financial freedom, or perhaps downsizing to a more manageable abode.  In any case, we discuss how to reduce and minimize the pulls on your freedom and peace.  No granola crunching here, just good tips and anecdotes on how I have tried to embrace the concept and how you can, too!

In a nod to the Lenten season of 40 days of giving up something, we at CM subscribe to the "40 Bags in 40 Days" habit.  The lovely folks at whitehouseblackshutters.com were my inspiration for this.   40 bags in 40 days can be an actual bag, which you fill with your unneeded belongings that you will donate or sell, or it can just be a drawer, that you empty and organize.  Remember, the idea is to minimize, not just organize.  This does NOT mean head to Target and spend MORE money on drawers organizers and matching storage boxes.  It means throw out the iffy socks that you stuff in the back, the 30 pencils that say "Happy 100th day of School", and the myriad food storage containers with MIA lids.  Get the idea?

Good luck on your one bag today, and please subscribe for future updates!
