My Health is Getting Me Down!

I've had so many additional episodes health wise and we found a great neurologist here locally that has help us identify this strand new onset of migraines I've been experiencing since the stroke.  

They are called Hemiplegic migraines, meaning that during the onset of the migraine I'm completely paralyzed on the right side, my face at times even droops giving the impression of a stroke.  These have been pretty scary and opened our eyes to the type of home we need...so no stairs or ladders.


So we will try some new meds and I will work with my job to ensure I don't loose my new position!

As far as the home...we are loving our minimalist home...BUT  the walls and home seem so blank.

We as americans feel like every space must be filled so when we live in large spaces we feel we must fill them...thus the clutter, debt and the must "need" to have everything everyone else has!

So I will continue with my beautiful blank walls...lol...I wont fill them, I won't fill them (my mantra I guess.)

Big spaces need to be filled!

Going through the home it's hard to gift others (via the arc) with our things because you look at voided space.


Don't get me wrong just like the next girl the beautiful homes with quality design I swoon and how they are just so pretty with the throw pillows all the candles, the throws laying on the corner of the chair just so oh the kitchens so perfectly organized.


However having the empty walls and getting rid of the things makes me feel like I'm living in a naked apartment.  Enter my new obsession and something I've liked for quite some time….tiny homes.


By definition a tiny home is a full furnished living space under 400 square feet and small homes under 1000 square feet.


Søren and I have been living in an apartment under 1000 square feet, actually it's 889 square feet, and we still feel like the space is too big. So it got us wondering could we do a tiny home.  Typical tiny homes are on a trailer so they can be mobile, similar to an RV, but most people park these in neighborhoods or back yards so we started doing our research.


In the Denver metro are it is difficult to park a tiny home with current zoning laws, so maybe a piece of land?

More to come after I do some hours wasting on Pinterest for ideas on tiny homes and to see if we can make this work!
