Mission Statement

Minimal living means different things to different folks. Some sell all their possessions and live the life of a nomad, because that's what they find to be the most liberating.  Others live in homes, but do not allow themselves to be distracted by items or trends that do not hold functional value. Many people find that living in small spaces, designed only to meet basic needs, gives them the freedom to focus their attention elsewhere. The truth as I see it is that living small means different things to each person. And it should. We are individuals, and our paths are not all the same. Our own personal concepts of minimal living should be something that, as we work towards it, helps us to become lighter and freer. It should not feel restrictive or rule-bound, and though in transitions one can at times feel frustrated, the end result should bring peace.

"A Space for Dancing" is designed to be an expression of my personal concept of minimal living. During the creation of this blog, I determined that I needed a blanket statement that accurately described my vision and goals with regards towards minimal living. I hope to reflect back upon this declaration as I continue to make choices that bring me closer to my goals.

"To me, living small means creating space in my home, my heart and my life to allow for self-expression, serenity and growth."

I hope that you love my blog! I hope that it makes you laugh, and makes you think. I hope that it makes you disagree with me sometimes, and that you express this to me, because then we can both learn more. But most of all, I hope that my posts will inspire you to explore your own concept for minimal living, and that in doing so, you discover more of yourself.
