I'm thinking "small" in 2017. Tiny to be exact... I have been looking into Tiny Homes for quite a few years now. After much research and personal evaluation, I'm finally ready to take the BIG plunge and go tiny...
Recently, I attended a Tiny House show in Kissimmee, Florida. Instead of just researching on the internet and watching it on TV, I actually got out to see them in person. I went inside of everyone one of them. There were many different designs and sizes. Believe it or not, Tiny Homes sometimes aren't so Tiny ! That is actually a very good thing. Especially when it comes to local permit and zoning laws. I just can't understand why close-minded, prejudice governments want to make it so hard for people to live the way THEY WANT TOO.
In my opinion, it's the best thing to do in this day and age. I mean after all, We as human beings need to start scaling back the imprint, damage and waste that we have imposed here on our planet. Mother Earth has given so much to us, we need to start giving back to our earth and environment. There is also another side to this. The financial and quality of life impact.
I have lived in Condo's, Apartments, Houses and even in Motels (sadly). It was all SUPER EXPENSIVE, Grossly over priced and NOT worth the hype that the bricks were built on. The ones that had bricks anyway, lol. The fact is that we have ALL been living way beyond our means. It's time we STOP... Come to our senses and realize that we are killing ourselves and our planet in the process. Who are we fooling anyway ? Do we really need such large spaces ? Do we need such expensive ways of life ? Do we need to sacrifice our families and ways of life just to work all those endless hours for pennies ? And for what ? To make these BIG Corporations richer than what they already are ! No thanks... I'm using the common sense of my elders and I'm now scaling back and even saving money (and my impact on our planet too).
I'm now preparing the design plans to build my own Tiny House. After seeing them in person at the recent TH show in Heritage Park in Kissimmee, FL., I know EXACTLY how I want mine build and modeled. I will be doing more TH Blogs and LIVE Videos soon. For now... As of the date and writing of this blog entry... This marks the beginning of my own journey to go Tiny and reduce my impact on our planet as well as my wallet. Time to start the process of flushing all those bills right down the toilet and start investing in : MYSELF !
Oh and by the way... Here are a few photos from my recent trip to The Kissimmee, FL Tiny House Show. It was a Super Fun day and a seriously cool experience !
Love Always in Your Life,
