Minimizing junk is a great step but I would also add that you need to work on removing your attachment and identification to "stuff" for the true pure results.

Why do you number the suggestions in your posts? I'm finding it very distracting, after seeing it so often. I noticed Tammy does that a lot too. By contrast, Naomi, with her Simpler Living blog has a very nice mix of ways to express herself.

Just putting it out there as an observation.

I found that tipping point last year when I decided I had everything I would ever need and still wasn't fulfilled. Stuff is not the answer. Since selling my stuff and globe trotting with two backpacks I have come back to the states with a true minimal lifestyle. Free as a bird and loving it. You find when you get rid of everything that you are still you. Your ego is still intact, people still love you...we fear that we won't know who we are when we can't define ourselves by our stuff and job. I found that jobs in particular define us way too much.
