Who would I like to encounter through my ebay selling experience?

I have to trust in God that anything is pushing me to do right now is the right pathway for me.

In January, I started to sell more seriously on eBay
I enjoy posting items on eBay. 
I have approximately 147 items currently listed.
I sold 27 items in total
I feel particularly good when knowing that someone is going to make use of the items I do not need. 
I enjoy making my packets, going to the post office and knowing that it is gone in the universe.
The person on the other side will open the parcel and a new story will begin for the item.
I could easily flog all the items at a charity shop.
Yet I feel it is so impersonal.
I came to learn that a large proportion of the sale of items in charity shops tend to help with the running of the shop itself as opposed to the people.
I am not really sure where all this is going to lead me to.
Like my friend says to me, it is not about where you end up, it is about the people you encounter along the way.

Who would I like to encounter through all my selling experiences:

I want to encounter artists who will be upcycling some of the items to give it to people they care about.
I want to encounter people living where I live.
I want to encounter tinkerers and repairers
I want to encounter collectors.

I will be more specific as time passes by.

In regard to my sales, not accounting for the shipping fees etc.
January: £108
February: £80.14

For my store : here

I am grateful for it all.

SUCCESS is A TEAM EFFORT

Reading Anna Wintour harsh advice for fashion students resonated with me (click here for full article). I have been working with Sandrine Nyota for now two months. Interestingly, the young designer follow  unconsciously  to the letter Anna Wintour advices and I think they are worth following: STARTING YOUR OWN LINE DOESN’T GUARANTEE SUCCESS Ultimately, this apply to anyone who want to start their own business. Although I will say, success can only be determined by the individual in the driving seat as success for some is different for others. It remains supporting other successes by working for another designer or company can be extremely rewarding as we learn the importance of having a team around us to achieve greater high. Indeed there is not just one road. FOR GOD’S SAKE, FIND SOME GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT Getting a job is just so much more than covering the end of the month, it is also about developing relationships by helping others. At the end, it is a gain ...

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/
