As a former baseball wife this truly resonates with me. My ex husband was traded and moved up and down through the minor league system multiple times. I lived in a constant state of anxiety, comparison and unhappiness. I became completely unhinged and slowly built my life back together once I left that life and began teaching and was grounded. I wish you were around back then because your videos would have been so valuable. I love your channel and you are now helping me be to a simpler, more intentional life and an am very grateful for that! Thank you so much! And god bless❤

I found your channel very recently and have been binging all your older stuff to catch up! I LOVE the concept of minimalism and that it can look different on every person. I find you very inspiring and relatable, very different from a lot of minimalism channels who seem to be a bit too out of reach for me. Your realistic take and down to earth personality is refreshing :) subscriber here for sure!!!!!!

@barbarabradshaw845 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing your why. You are so right about there being many reasons for becoming a minimalist and many different ways of practicing it!

Yes, thanks for watching! I love how different people live out minimalism differently. It’s so interesting to me.

The verse is just ❤️❤️❤️❤️. The moment I realized I can't bring even a single cent to heaven made me seek this minimalist lifestyle and how to do it. To not acquire more stuff but to have lesser stuff that would make my life easier and meaningful. Thank you for your channel it's been a great help really.

I just found your channel and I love what you're doin', girl! You have such a sweet spirit and your decluttering your closet video is inspiring me to go declutter and minimalize mine right now. The inspiration to not put treasure in these worldly things is spot on and just what I needed to be reminded of. Thank you!

Thank you Margaret! 😊 It is true. You do it one time and then you want to continue decluttering! I am staring my journey. And I love love to declutter. I feel so clean! 🙃 I love your channel. I am like you, Everything give me stress and I do not have kids. Sad story but trying to be happy! I babysit my 8 year old niece since she was born. She is my everything. 😍 I am buying some of the supplements you use. Thank you again!

Thanks finally someone that can understand, people always expect you to do it all at ones and that you will know exactly what to do how to do it and how to do it, and never understand everything is a process and many things we learn with experience.

@readbyjem6339 3 года назад

This really resonates with me, I had a conversation with a co-worker about letting go of stuff. I said I could never let go of my books and he said, I'm sure there are some you could. After a lot of thought these past two weeks, I think my mind might be changing.

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

That's amazing! What I hear when you say that is that you're open minded and willing to learn. There are no better qualities, truly. It's a lifelong mindset, and where people start differs with each person. This, that thought process, it's an incredible start!

@heather1531 3 года назад

You got your ads up! Yay, congrats!!!! Great video once again.. I’ve been really slowly and painfully trying to push myself to get rid of more and more and the more I do the less stressed I feel. (: my husband pushes back with it some because he sees it as money going out the window but we’re working on it lol. It’s a process for sure!

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

Yes I did!!! So exciting:) and haha, oh the husband push back. I have that as well. We’ve been selling lots, that’s helped! So glad to hear your making moves!

Follow stress ball here. I decided a few months ago after the fog of my second baby lifted that I can't live like this anymore. I started a plan at the beginning of January and gave myself a week each space in my house to deep clean and declutter. It's better than it was but as you said it's a journey. Thanks for the video. ❤️

I was watching your video and thinking how your family might benefit from living in a tiny house that you could bring with you when you re-locate three times a year.Your things could always be with you and your home could travel with you. Your husband would never need to pack or unpack and neither would you. Right after your video was finished, I looked to the right, and this video was right there.I took it as a sign from above to share it with you. It is on the channel "Living Big in a Tiny House"....The episode is "Dream DIY Tiny House with Amazing Kid -Safe Loft."

@katie3700 3 года назад

I was excited to see this new upload - I have been bingeing your videos and love how relatable you are! I have been on my minimalism journey for a few years now since I got a divorce - my ex was abusive and gone all the time for his job - it always seemed to come first followed by always no money because he had to buy everything to prove he was somebody -- I also contributed because I was so unhappy and didn't know what else to do but shop. Now, years later, I met a wonderful man and our marriage is centered around God - we live in a modest home though he makes more than my ex - he choses to spend time together and place seeing this beautiful land God created over stuff that lasts only for a bit. Most of all, my relationship with God never been stronger. I realize that as humans we are always trying to fill a void - yet, that void will never be filled here on Earth. Much success to you and thank you for sharing your life! I just made my first BeautyCounter order - had been contemplating it for a bit but never "knew" anyone who sold it!

@Scrapfan 3 года назад

This was really good. I had to admit it (please forgive me) but I came in with a critical spirit. About two years ago, I got rid of 98% of my belongings and moved. I had no furniture, very few clothes, a little memorabilia, and some kitchen necessities. It was the best thing I could’ve done for myself! I had to buy new living room furniture and a bed, but otherwise my life become minimal overnight. I don’t think I’m a minimalist, but living minimally has made life a lot easier! I shared this on my fb page to my minimal amount of FB friends (trust me, following too many people is not great either).

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

That's absolutely amazing. See?! I love hearing everyones experiences - they are all inspiring. What prompted you to do it? Regardless, I'm so glad you did!

@Scrapfan 3 года назад

Margaret Matheny I don’t know what exactly that helped me to do it. I got a smaller construction dumpster to get rid of a few things, before I knew it, I got rid of everything. I think God knew why because soon after I threw out everything God opened up a nice new place to move to. If I hadn’t gotten rid of anything, I’m sure I would’ve never moved. Too much work to do it! I’m sure you understand when you have had to move so much. Even if you hire movers, it’s still hard to prep before they get there. Minimalism is the way to go!

I am always wondering why people choose minimalism- I personally am trying to work out the final version of me, I think it would look more minimal and that would cause me less stress, more financially safe - hope you are also enjoying the process Lesley England xx

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

I truly am, thanks for watching and your support!

@darciann 3 года назад

I’ve been thinking about that verse and mindset a lot lately. Analyzing myself and where my heart is. I know a more minimal lifestyle would suit our family well, but I’m cautious to let some things go, ie books, during a political climate when we are seeing blatant censorship online. Anyways, i enjoyed getting to know more about you through this video! ☺️☺️

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

Oh your speaking my language. Books are something we actually get more of! So good for all of us and I hear you, I’ve heard what’s going on. Terrible! Love that your in the know too🙌🏻🙌🏻. Thanks for your support!!

Thank you for this video. ☺️ Just a question as I do not have a clue about professional sports: Why does your husband have to move for spring training and for the season? It might sound stupid, but I do not understand, why his team has to move for the training.

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

Spring training for all teams is either in AZ or FL. Then everyone separates once they are put on a specific team. It's almost like a tryout for the minor league players. Just the way it is!
