We are the Stuarts (formerly of Imperial) now residing in Okinawa, Japan.

This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).

Minimalist(ish)





Call me crazy, but I've done it again...started a new blog. Some of you who know me in real life are probably thinking I'm turning into some sort of hippie-freak with the changes I've already made...and now this. Maybe I am. All I know, is this feels SO right...and I'd like to bear my testimony of minimalism. And not some sort of sketch-piece, Seinfeld-fodder minimalism...just getting rid of the unnecessary stuff to let in the peace.

While I know I have a long road ahead of me, It feels great to jump off the consumer conveyorbelt...and on the path toward experiencing the life I want to live.
