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.
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.

4 Lies Our Consumer Society Is Telling You That You Should Reject Right Now | No Sidebar by Jessalynn Jones. “I’m sure you have heard that we live in a consumer society before. It means that our economy is driven by consumerism in America and many other nations. But what does that really mean?”
A Guide to Practicing Trust | Zen Habits by Leo Babauta. “If we have a lack of trust, we might be tempted to blame ourselves or feel that there’s some wrongness to this lack. But what if we trusted that there are good reasons we don’t trust?”

The Charlie Brown contribution drops the “F” bomb, really not needed on my Sunday morning.

Love the Leo Babauta metaphor in your YouTube video. Social media is like a river. Jump in, then jump out. There are times I have followed this advice and was refreshed. And there were times I stayed in, got swept down river, and nearly went over the waterfall!
