I feel that by decluttering, practicing minimalism, and detaching myself from obsession with material things, I've made more room for spirituality in my life.

Can anyone else relate?

Me! Me! Me!

I’ve felt that in the past several months and every bit of stuff that I get rid of unburdens me in some way.

It’s amazing!!

No, I am an avid collector of many things. They are placed and arranged purposefully. I get fuzzy feelings from this. I like stuff. Granted...it IS a pain to dust them but they make me happy. But my sister is a minimalist. She and her spouse are an active couple and they go boating and hiking and things of that nature as much as possible, and don't want things at home tying them down. I like to get out of the house as well, but I also need my "things". LOL!!!!! Also, I am one of those that actually likes cleaning and keeping house, so there you go!!!

In Buddhism, decluttering, minimalism, and simplicity is an ideal.
