It’s been a while since I posted - there’s been a lot going on in the Nowak household.

Three months after we arrived at our new home, we’ve unpacked everything. The last remaining boxes have been the kid’s clothes to grow into. In fact, most of our storage is full of plastic tubs that have the kids’ clothes for the next 2-3 years. Twice a year we switch out the winter clothes for summer and vice versa, although the process can take several days and leaves parts of the house a disaster in the process.

The benefit of this method is that we don’t have to buy clothes for our kids. We take any hand-me-downs, cast-off or, well, any clothes that are given to us and file away what might be used in the near future and pass on the rest. Thus, if you were to calculate how much we save by doing this, its worth a few days’ work to switch out the wardrobes.

Clothes aren’t the only things we’re purging though. I’m re-centering R.A.G.E. Media around the core business - creating content - and that means a lot of purging of ventures that didn’t pan out or were taking me too far from doing what I believe to be my vocation. It’s been a full year since I wrote The Way of the Christian Samurai, and I need to get moving on new books and offerings.

It’s amazing how clutter - from papers to clothing to “things” to activities - can really drag you down without you realizing it.
