Fill your life with stories to tell, not stuff to show.
The simplicity/minimalism movement is a beautiful community. It is friendly, encouraging, and helpful. There is a genuine understanding that any promotion of simplicity is good for society—and there is little concern over who gets the credit for it.
It is a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful group of people. And I enjoy every opportunity to promote writing that encourages people to live more by owning less.
So fix yourself a nice warm cup of coffee or tea. Find a quiet moment this weekend. And enjoy some encouraging words to inspire more simplicity in your life today.

I spent this past weekend in Orlando, FL addressing the National Association of Senior Move Managers. I was so wonderfully impressed. If there is a senior in your life going the process of downsizing and moving to a new residence, I highly recommend the work they do. They are good people with big hearts. And I just wanted you to know the resource is out there.
