Fill your life with stories to tell, not stuff to show.
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 for suggesting these thoughtful articles!
Mary,
Try zip code 85001, ( Phoenix) when prompted by AAA. it brought me to the article.
Thanks!
Mary I live in Illinois and when I did the Show Reader View button on my ipad the article could be read. I hope that helps.
Living in Illinois, I am not able to access the article from the Arizona regional AAA. I’ve tried unsuccessfully to find ways around that. Is there a more universal link that you can share? I would really like to see that article.
Oh, I wasn’t aware it was limited to a specific geographic location. Try Googling the title.
Inspiring indeed, thank you for the reads. I particularly enjoyed ‘The Paradox of Abundance’. Very best wishes, Rose (UK)
Congratulations Joshua! Forwarded your practical and helpful AAA article to the men in our family. Well done, as always. Blessings!
My 2 dogs have accumulated too many toys over the years!! I keep two buckets with lids in the garage and rotate their toy box out every 4 months or so. Just like kids, dogs can get bored with the same old toys.
