Wonderful article thank you! I went through the process of selling my modest home and most possessions back in 2005 to support transition from full-time employment in cancer research and as head of children's services/librarian to full-time Storyteller and also creating/facilitating a volunteer literacy project in Belize. Selling the home and parting with possessions was one of the most liberating thing I've ever done. I kept 10 rubbermaid containers of things along with clothing I needed. I do sometimes miss some of my books and wish I had thought of asking a relative to house them. The things I kept were sentimental like old letters and my journals and photographs of family/friends and also items for my Storytelling business like some props and simple costumes and instruments from around the world. Here's to downsizing and how it frees up more resources for time with people and experiences and is also better for our planet! :)

Terrific article, thanks Daily Good :) After becoming fascinated by some books from the library a few months ago, my husband and I are now seriously considering building a tiny house of our own! I am so looking forward to downsizing our stuff and upgrading our adventures! Good advice from the Kasls' on how to begin the process of tiny living once you know it is your destiny -- taking baby steps way before the house is built, ex. using less space than your current, traditional living situation provides while sequentially paring down your possessions. We are on our way, woohoo!

I'd love to find a 'tiny house' community of like-minded seniors who are more than willing to go tiny...but climbing a ladder to a bed loft wouldn't work.

Small is good. Claustrophobic, not so much.
