simple days with bonnie rae

This weekend I received my copy of the Minimalist’s documentary Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things. Click here to watch the trailer.

The documentary was beautiful, special, and encouraging. My partner laughed at me a little because after watching it I immediately tried to give away everything in our house. He entertained choruses of “But we don’t need a couch. It’s more of a luxury,” and “Babe, can I give away the boxes that go with our Lord of the Rings DVD box sets? No? Hmmm…”

I continued to shuffle through the house and I filled another bag with items to donate, all of these things were beautiful but they were no longer useful to me. I let them go, now they’re on their way to making someone else very happy.

Something else I want to let go of is my personal copy of the documentary! The Minimalists encourage those who purchase their books or their documentary to pass it on when they are done with it.

I wanted to take this wonderful opportunity to conduct my first giveaway! To enter for a chance to win the Minimalist’s documentary Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things you can do one of two things:

1. Leave a comment on this post letting me know who/what inspired you to simplify your life.

Or

2. Head over to my Instagram, like the documentary post, and tag someone in the Instagram comments.

You can do either one or both of these things. If you do both you will be entered to win twice. I will use an app to enter names and the app randomly chooses a winner! I will announce the winner next week on the blog and on Instagram.

My hope is that the winner of the documentary will watch it and then pass it on to someone else in their life that needs it.

Best of luck! Leave any questions in the comments below.

More soon,

Bonnie Rae xx
