Hello, fellow minimalists! This is Mark, the founder of Minimalist Living, the blog that teaches you how to live with less and enjoy more. Today is a very special day for me and for this blog. It’s our one year anniversary! 🎉

Yes, that’s right. On January 1, 2023, we launched this blog with a simple mission: to share our journey of minimalism and inspire others to join me. Since then, we have been posting high quality content about minimalism, not every single day, but almost every three days. That’s a total of 123 blog posts in one year!

How Much Have We Written?

You might be wondering how much content we have produced in this blog. Well, let me tell you. If all of our blog posts would be merged into one, it would be 199,202 words long. That’s about 398 pages of a standard book. If you would want to read all of our blog posts, that would take you 17.7 hours to complete. That’s almost a whole day of reading!

But don’t worry, you don’t have to read all of our blog posts. You can just read the ones that interest you the most. Or better yet, you can just read the headlines and the bolded words. That’s enough to get the gist of what I’m saying. After all, minimalism is about simplicity and efficiency.

How Much Have We Earned?

Now, you might be curious about how much money we have made from this blog. Well, let me tell you. Minimalist Living has never made any money from this blog. Not a single cent. This blog is entirely run by the power of less.

You see, we don’t believe in monetizing our blog. We don’t want to clutter it with ads, sponsors, or affiliates. We don’t want to sell you any products, courses, or services. We don’t want to ask you for any donations, subscriptions, or memberships. We don’t want to make money from you. We want to make value for you.

That’s why we write this blog for free. We don’t need money to run this blog. We only need a laptop, an internet connection, and a passion for minimalism. And we have all of those things. We don’t need anything else. We have enough.

How Much Have We Learned?

Finally, you might be wondering how much we have learned from this blog. Well, let me tell you. We have learned a lot from this blog. We have learned how to live with less and enjoy more. We have learned how to declutter our home, our mind, and our life. We have learned how to focus on what matters and let go of what doesn’t. We have learned how to be happy with what we have and not crave for what we don’t.

But most importantly, we have learned how to share our knowledge and experience with you, our dear readers. You are the reason why we write this blog. You are the reason why we keep going. You are the reason why we celebrate today.

Thank You for Being Part of This Journey

So, thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for reading, commenting, liking, sharing, and following this blog. Thank you for supporting me and our mission. Thank you for being a minimalist.

I hope you have enjoyed this blog as much as we have. We hope you have learned something from this blog as much as we have. We hope you have become a better person because of this blog as much as we have.

And we hope you will continue to be part of this journey as we enter our second year of Minimalist Living. We promise you, there is more to come. More content, more value, more minimalism.

Stay tuned, stay simple, stay minimalist.

This is Mark, signing off.

Happy anniversary, Minimalist Living!
