Dee sold her home, got rid of most of her belongings, and began limiting herself to about 300 possessions -- that was everything from heels and a toothbrush, to a couple of dinner plates and a two-ton jack. She then built a tiny house on wheels, parked it in a friend's backyard, and commenced re-defining her understanding of the basics: community well-being, gratitude, happiness and the compost toilet.
