Aloha Jenn and family!
What a treat to read your post. In gratitude I bow to you all for a desire to lead a life requiring mindfulness on so many levels.
Your post reminds me of something I penned as I began life as a minimalist over 40 years ago . . .

Less is more . . .
Less is more, simple is best
as we travel about our quest
to laugh, learn, explore and grow
in touch with Spirit, we shall know
just inside, a whisper away
we need but listen, and to stay
awake, aware, persistent and kind
to what Spirit has in mind...
For each wink, wind, touch and taste
is a lesson to savor, to grace
our lives with light, love and lore
as we uncover our unique store.
So pack light, carry only today
a smile, a bow, a moment to say
thank you, I love you, Namaste
to One and all, in work and play.
