As we approach our one year anniversary of living full time on our off grid homestead we take a minute to look back and reflect on all the progress, the projects, and all of the growth that's occured. It's been a pretty wild ride, and it's looking like the future will continue to be beautifully entertaining as well ; ) Back when we moved into our shipping container home we had no kitchen, no running water, no electricity, no storage for our clothing, nothing but a bedroom c...

    This only works if you live far away from military conflicts where people help you to live a minimalist lifestyle by setting your house on fire and you lose all of your belongings, memories and that cup from a far away country collecting dust because you never used it. But if you're lucky, they won't help you managing your family easier by killing your husband and children.

    I'm just watching your video you had to take everything off your bed and put it on the floor. Before you tackle your closet clothing. Why didn't you organize and go through everything on your bed before you tackle your closet when is that it made more sense. So how far did you actually get on this decluttering by listening konmari method?

    Dana, your family and way of life have so inspired me to live in the moment! Be ever more present! LIVE CREATIVELY! I just turned 46 in April. My son graduates from high school this year and my daughter, next year. Not knowing what he wants to do yet, we have encouraged him to put off college and slow down, get a job and acquire more "life tools" for his tool belt. He is an avid gardener, writer, an artist, actor and singer, sensitive to injustices in the world and the friends in his life... He is bursting with untapped potential. I have always told him that his life is a book and he alone gets to write the chapters in it. Being a Mom for him and his sister have been the best gift and privilege and the accumulation of my life's work. I am excited for what lies ahead for everyone I call Home. So many changes are coming for everyone in the family. My husband and I celebrate our 22nd Anniversary this Fall. What will the two of us look like when the kids have left? Will our daughter follow her college-forward dreams of becoming the professional she has always wanted? Will she find a new passion? Will I return to photography? My various forms of art? Will Hubby keep writing around his day job hours? Oh, how I long to see him pick up his guitar once again, allowing me to sing to him not only plucking his guitar's, but my heart's strings as well! So much on the horizon and right here in front of me. Life can be hard, and has been, but right now, Life is Good! ❤ Forever grateful for what we have.

    Love this video. A year can change everything! This time last year I was struggling with the most difficult season of my business, and our house desperately needed a new roof and a lot of other repairs. Now, I am 39 weeks pregnant with my first baby, we have a brand new roof and are working on finishing out our kitchen this week. Life is so good and I am so thankful. I always enter a season of reflection in the spring. It doesn’t make sense to me that the year begins in January. I think it should begin in April!

    I appreciate your prompt to think about how far I’ve come in the past year. A year ago today my Dad died (his choice after choosing to fast to end his life after many months of struggle and decline in health) just after I had moved to a new state for a new job. I am also developing a piece of property, turning a formerly unfinished garage into a small home with the help of a varietyof local contractors. I wish I could do more of it myself, but in my situation, I need to keep working. Still I am very grateful to keep plugging along on the project which is, as so often happens, taking much longer than one would hope! Anyway, it’s fun to see your story unfold. Peace to you as it continues.😊

    I agree 100% that springs seems like a more logical time to reflect, in part because everything seems possible. For me, a year ago I was contemplating stopping work and turning the page to a less structured life ( still trying to decide if I cut the cord on my volunteer non profit work). This will be the second time I attempt this as I retired 12 years ago but quickly filled my life up with paying and volunteer jobs. Now, like you as I reflect I want more time for fun, creative projects, familly and travel so I have started lining through things that don't fill me with joy. Your videos always strike just the right tone, raise just the right questions to help all of us continue to grow as individuals. Love you guys and so very proud of how far you have come and can not wait to see where you will go. Sending lots of love
