I invite you to 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 Joshua, I always look forward to the weekend reads and I too read them all. You have helped us minimize our home and we love it! Its unbelievable how just letting go of items that we didn’t love or need any longer made such a difference. Cleaning and maintaining it is so easy now.
