Rowan experienced something like this on February 7th ....... and life became a whole lot "simpler" in terms of material things for both of us.

And, over the next year, I will be working on getting rid of at least half of my remaining stuff. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it all, but I'll figure it out as I go.
Stuff can be very imprisoning, and although it can hurt to let stuff go, it is very freeing.
I've been going through my stuff and getting rid of it, but now that our life no longer includes a house, I will be reassessing what I decided to keep and will very likely be getting rid of more than I originally planned.
And for those who think that they cannot live a simple life if they have a woman in their lives ... I am a woman, and Rowan and I are aiming to live a very simple life together.
