Hello! (Introduction)

My name is Jill, and I have been throwing things away since I was old enough to accumulate them.
[Hello, Jill]

I'm a modern ascetic.

Or I would like to think so.

If you don't know what an ascetic is, here is the Merriam-Webster definition:

Function:

adjective

Etymology:

Greek askētikos, literally, laborious, from askētēs one that exercises, hermit, from askein to work, exercise

Date:

1646

1 : practicing strict self-denial as a measure of personal and especially spiritual discipline
2 : austere in appearance, manner, or attitude

The goal of this blog is to help you realize that life is easier without having to tunnel through stacks of decaying newspaper, holey clothes, bric-a-brac, etc. I also like to abbreviate.

Ascetically speaking, to throw things away.
