Never underestimate the importance of removing stuff you don’t need.
Encouragement provides us with motivation to persevere. It invites us to dream dreams of significance for our lives. And it begs us to work diligently with optimism and promise.
Overcoming the pull of consumerism is a difficult challenge regardless of our stage in life. Simplicity requires encouragement. To that end, I hope you will find motivation in these articles below.
Each post was intentionally chosen to inspire simplicity in your life. For maximum effect, find a quiet moment this weekend and enjoy them with a fresh cup of coffee or tea.

Thank you for sharing Lisa’s guest post at A Life in Progress. I look forward to your list each weekend:)
Thank you Betsy! I also follow Josh and he has helped me also. Every so often I just like to see what other people around my age are saying.
Again, thanks for responding.
Peace, Nancy
Hi! I have a question, are there any blogs or articles anyone could recommend for someone simplifying one’s life who is older, say 60.
I get some much from all the information out there but would also love to find people who write from the season of life that is older.
Thanks and peace, Nancy
Hi Nancy, try flylady.net. She’s older (like us) and has some great suggestions. I’m 67 and I read all of Joshua’s postings. He touches on many topics towards pairing down no matter what a person’s age. His articles helped my husband and I when we decided to sell our big house and downsize to a small bungalow. he touches upon everything from budgets to excess stuff. Good luck! Less truly is more!
I enjoy Coffe, Tea, Books and Me. Not strictly about minimalism, but about trying to keep life beautiful on less, from a retired-age perspective.
That should be Coffee.
