My Life in a Nutshell

Hello!

I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Eniko, and this is my first post here on Steemit.
I was born in Transylvania, Romania and moved to Toronto when I was 17.
I have recently relocated to Calgary, AB after living in Toronto for 25 years. Ever since I can remember, I have been missing someone and someplace. When we moved as a teenager, I missed my grandparents and cousins and now I miss my nephew, niece and Toronto a lot.

I’m really passionate about money management and holistic wellness, but first and foremost I’m a mother who is super passionate about creating a healthy life for my beautiful daughter. She is such a strong personality and bright, goofy spirit from day one.

Becoming a Mom has been absolutely the most humbling, moving, frightening, exhausting and joyful experience of my life.

I love the idea about living as a minimalist and I started decluttering when we moved to Calgary, AB.
My goal for 2018 is to declutter more and put myself on a one year shopping ban.
After years of impulsive spending on Amazon and elsewhere, I realized that my one-click purchase habits were not more than an emotional shopaholic spender. So I decided to put myself on a one year shopping ban. At the same time I started my shopping ban, I decided to embrace minimalism, and started 2018 by doing a massive declutter in my home. One thing I have learned though is that letting go of stuff really makes me feel good. Every time I take something to a charity I feel lighter.

And welcome to Steemit!

What an amazing video. Thank you for the reminders of what is truly important! I have a heart’s desire for living with less, but have not achieved a true minimalist lifestyle yet. I recognize the importance of less, esp as it relates to the home. I made a goal to meditate every day in 2018, living intentionally and practice gratitude. Personally, I find this comforting and empowering.

Love your post. I have had wishes to live as a minimalist. I have mastered not spending on unnecessary things but I want to declutter my house. I'm hanging on to stuff for my teenage and young adult kids but I need to get better at purging and donating things.

Thank you. We can help each other live more intentionally. It's such a good feeling to declutter your life. Not just your home but your mind and health too.

Welcome!! I look forward to your post :)
