The Minimalism Game: Day 5

It's a full moon tonight. It arrives at 3:02 a.m on September 6th. 

Many people believe in the power of the Full Moon. There are rituals and symbolic practices around releasing, unburdening yourself, letting go. How perfectly aligned with my project in purging our home of the items that do not serve us. 

I wrote out my stresses, my emotions... the inner stuff that I wish to release. And then I burned that shit. I filled this glass jar with water and I stuck it outside with my crystals and I let that hippie part of me out. I sat and I said my intentions and I set free the things that do not serve me. 

​As for our game... today, I sent off something to my mama, a gift that has been in our house for months. 1 item.

Then, I returned 5+ doilies to my mother-in-law, from my de-doily-fying of our home. For some reason, my husband had doilies all over the place when I moved in and a couple weeks ago, I reached my doily limit. No more doilies.

Also, I read an article today about my former students who were killed last year and cried. That's probably why this is all over the place. If you'd like to honour their memory, you can read the article here and watch the short video on facebook here.
