The simplicity/minimalism movement is a beautiful community. And I enjoy any 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.

Thank You so Much. Over the last few years, all I have wanted is more and more, and coming to realize, that less is better(stuff and possessions), but the more is Jesus Christ, family, relationships and helping others. Truly looking forward to moving my life into minimalism. Thank You and God Bless you and your family.
