Living Lighter & Loving Life
США
Добавлен 9 окт 2023
Welcome to Living Lighter & Loving Life, a personal journey where grief meets minimalism, and the pursuit of a brighter, lighter life takes center stage. After experiencing the profound loss of my wife, I began to explore minimalism as a way to not only declutter my physical space but also to unburden my heart and mind. Through candid vlog posts, I share how this shift toward simplicity is transforming my life and my family's lives, helping us navigate the complexities of grief with greater clarity and purpose. This channel is a reflection of our ongoing journey, where we embrace minimalism as a tool for healing, connection, and living fully in the present.
Join me as I discuss the intertwining paths of grief and minimalism, exploring how letting go of excess is helping us lighten the emotional and mental load that comes with loss. Living Lighter & Loving Life is about more than just reducing physical clutter-it's about creating space for joy, love, and the life that still awaits.

Why Minimalism?
In this video, I’m opening up about my journey towards minimalism and why I’ve decided to embrace simplicity in my life. It’s not just about getting rid of stuff; it’s about making space for what truly matters-my family, our experiences, and the moments that bring us joy. 🌟
I’ve found that the more I let go of the clutter and excess, the more time and energy I have to focus on being present with my kids and partner. 👨👩👧👦 Minimalism has become a way to honor those relationships and to live a life that feels more intentional and fulfilling. 💖
Join me as I share my "Why" for choosing this path and how it’s impacting our lives. Whether you’re curious about minimalism or already on your own j...

your hammock story is a beauty. what a lovely husband you were. prayers for peace. sarah had the voice of an angel and i listen to her songs and think she might be pleased that her voice rings out in a stranger’s home far away. ❤️ What’s tragic is that you had no help after her death. That is brutal, but you made it through. Sending love to you and your family.
Love your new channel….so would Sarah. ❤❤
You are so strong, I know it is hard. Thank you for being so honest. I just found out my mom has stage 3a cervical cancer. She gets a pet scan on Wednesday and mri on Thursday. She will know more on September 10th.
I had to empty my parents house with my sisters after their passing. Same house for over 50 years and I made a promise to myself to not do that to my sons. So, when we moved 5 states in 2018, we purged so much. My closet - something in - something out. Loving it now.
Alot of people prefer/ are preferring smaller homes, minimal lifestyle. Our house is 1630 sq ft 3 bedroom 2 baths and its just me, hubby and 3 dogs. Only bought it in 21 because it was a great deal when rent was consistently going higher and higher each year we rented, Have a very manageable mortgage on a fixed income and hardly any furniture, its on a less than 4000 sq ft lot so easy to mow, works for the dogs, can do a lil gardening, property taxes are low and once we hit 65 property tax freezes, toss out old stuff over time..Only thing we really buy for the house are things we need, like bought 2 new ceiling fans, and small things here and there for the kitchen since I love to cook. SMALLER IS MUCH EASIER to manage, maintain, not having to go through 100 shirts and 75 pairs of pants to decide on what to wear for the day, deciding which of the 30 pairs of shoes to wear, which of the numerous loaf pans to make the meatloaf in, which of the dozens of measuring gadgets to use and on and on and on.. pppfffftt to all of thatt!!!!! I have 2 woks that I can cook damn near everything in, 1 big pot for rice, pasta, potatoes, 1 roasting pan for roasts, hams, turkeys, own 4 dinner plates, 4 salad plates, 4 small plates for just sandwiches, 4 cereal bowls, have a countertop dishwasher, 1 washer, no dryer, I hang dry everything. Whoever said more is better is a fruitloop.
My prayers are always with you and your family ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Josh I am doing my best to de clutter my life but it isn't easy. I really should have started 10 years ago as now it seems to be such a mammoth task. I guess I will just keep chipping away and one day I might see the light at the end of the tunnel. Will keep watching you for any tips you might offer. Love and light to you and the family 🐰
You got this! It feels like so much. But I know as we get more and more decluttered the better I feel, the better we feel. Freer, lighter, and I also find myself not wanting anything, which is nice! :)
You really get to learn more about the people around you ❤
I’m 71 and getting ready to purge my stuff! Most physical things do not bring me happiness and why hang onto things my children will eventually have to deal with? I want to be free of things to spend more time doing activities I love.
Exactly! That is definitely part of my thoughts as I move forward.
Yes I no my wife passed away may 1 2024 she was 56 thank God I have 4 kids in my life still crying you right nobody can take her place
❤❤❤
I can relate to your video. I'm going through the same decluttering process. It's a slow go, but you encourage me, thanks!
If you want to sell anything, LMK! I had a fire last year and lost EVERYTHING. I’d be more than happy to buy some things if still available.
I’m doing the same thing. I have so much stuff that needs to go. My husband passed July 2023 and I had to move. I bought a small house and moved in July. But I’ve been putting it off. TFS❤
I just started doing this. Feels GREAT! We live in a small one bedroom apartment and if was closing in on us. Hey, found out we are distant relatives! Family from Louisiana! 🙂
I was guided to your video today. I have been realizing this about my life. I long for the simplicity of a ‘stuff-free’ life. This morning I am tackling my walk-in closet - and I was watching youtube videos to procrastinate. So thanks - I’m going to crank some tunes and make that first step. Wish me luck!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Great work! Small tasks build up. You’ve got this. My life is feeling better daily as I get rid of more stuff
Love this ❤
I got a lot out of you saying you cleaned clutter
For me I had to not look at loved ones pictures set boundaries so I can be in the present ❤
Well done to you Josh 💕
I LOVE your postings. They inspire me. Im cancer free and trying to decide to do with my life. Maybe start with decluttering. Ha ha!
Good afternoon Josh love the plants behind you, i happy to see you guys are doing well. Have a great day
So very well said! "Things" do get in the way of LIFE! Memories are safely stored in your heart/head ❤
Josh, praying you are all ok. I haven't been getting notifications 🔔. Beautiful Sarah is smiling down upon you. You're doing what a father is supposed to do with the children. I pray for you and your family all the time 😊. Much 🫶to all.❤
So happy for you. I also have been watching minimalist video's and it is very empowering. Keep going strong. You look fantastic.
Josh, I apologize for the delay in watching this video. Beautiful Sarah how much we all love & miss. The children are reminders of Sarah. Remember you are a wonderful husband and father. Much love to all of you, stay blessed 🫶…
Hello Josh & beautiful children. I'm so glad to see you all healthy and happy. Those plants are the most beautiful ones. Also, it's great for decluttering😊. Much love to see you & the family Josh.
I pray for you and your kids. I wish you all the best. Take care!!!
She was so courageous, sharing not just the joys, but also the incredible sadness of her journey...we are all better people for having known her...
Your plants look really nice Josh. Hope you are keeping them. Best wishes for your decluttering process
Hi Josh good to see you ! I loved this video and it has really inspired me to give this decluttering thing a go. I am a self confessed hoarder and so consequently have loads of "stuff" left behind by my Mum Dad and Sister. I know that I will never use it but as you said all these items tend to hold memories of the person they belonged to. I am going to have a look on line for advice and books to read on how I can begin to try and declutter my house and my mind. Love and light to you and yours 🐰
These are audio books that really have helped me: Goodbye Things by Fumio Susaki, Minimalism for Families by Zoe Kim, the Joy of Less by Francine Jay, and Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne.
@@LivingLighterLovingLife Thank you!
Good for you! Minimalism is the way to go to enjoy more of your life!
❤❤❤❤Love to you and the kids.
Good for you ❤ so happy to see you embracing a more minimalist lifestyle.
❤❤❤❤ love this video ❤❤❤❤
You're doing so amazing, prayers for you and the kids!🙏💙💙 Great way to live life, makes me think of changing my life ways
I did same thing after my hub died, he was a collector, me not, you are so right in all you say.less feels best.
Clutter causes stress, good job.
You are so right!! Someone bought me a book called Simple Abundance years ago. The concept is “less is more.” It frees you eliminating things you don’t use!!
Oh as soon as you described multiple baking pans etc I has to laugh.... I am a kitchen "stuff" magpie but use the same core set of tins.... Equally I use many bad words everytime I bake and can't find a set of measureing spoons of which I could start a shop with amount I have.... It needs sorting and has been the catalyst to doing what we are calling our Pre Death De Clutter. I have in recent years had to empty both parents houses, a uncles house and move house ourselves. The double garage that was meant to be a workshop a storage place for dead people's stuff, our stuff that needs sorting and house now filling with more stuff as we can't find stuff in garage 🤦♀️ I am bar kitchen Baking Trays a natural minimalist I love the cleanness and freedom of space... My husband and daughter... Who is married and has her own house but so much of her stuff at ours.... are hoarders, keep just incase, it might be useful, you can't have enough leads.... not only computer leads but dog leads and collars of dogs long dead 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Trying to get them to see the memories are not physical things but heart and mind things is hard. I am not allowed to just go clear or put in piles definitely keep as use frequently, possibly keep as frequently used item on last legs will need to replace soon and here is replacement, donate, sell, accept in bucket so I can then get it more manageable for them. I had tried taking pictures of everything so they could look at it and remmber that was not a good suggestion for them. I understand it is hard for them but I know we would feel better, have more time to make memories while we can. I have now done a awful scenario to them of what if me and husband killed in a accident do we want this de clutter task left to my daughter and answer is absolutely no...so work has slowly started. I will lead with my kitchen stuff and show the daily difference it makes then we do a box or drawer each per day It will get done and make life better now and with a eye to looking after my daughter when I am no longer here. 🥰💜X
