Vlog #5: Personal Minimalism for Personal Peace

Little did I know that a decision I made a few months ago would be helpful in reducing my stress level and anxiety during this season in my life. Last month, my 11-year-old son a.k.a. Random Ridge was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease ITP. It's a blood disorder that causes his own body to filter out his platelets. It leaves his body covered in blood spots and bruises which have to be checked daily for signs of internal bleeding. Needless to say, anxiety is at a higher than normal level. Embracing minimalism in my own personal way has helped maintain a level of personal peace throughout this new and unpredictable journey.
We are trusting God--the Prince of Peace--to deliver a miracle for a condition which has no known cure. For more pictures and updates, visit us on Facebook at / therandomridge

Minimalism is excellent. Took me a while to get into it but now I have dived in and I make videos as well. It creates a way better life and less stress and anxiety. Some people see the extreme versions of minimalism and think they can't do it. Minimalism is different for everyone. :)

I love what you talk about in this video but your voice is too soft and I have to strain myself to hear you. I have my PC sound volume turned up to maximum but it was still a struggle to hear you.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll have to see what I can do to bump it up on future videos. =D
