I’m not sure of the weather in your area, but here in Phoenix we are experiencing a rare Fall rainstorm with cool temps and 36+ consecutive hours of rainfall. The weather outside will force us to slow down just a bit and enjoy some later mornings this weekend. I don’t know if your forecast will do the same. But if it does, you may enjoy a quiet moment with a cup of coffee or tea and some of these hand-picked articles to inspire simplicity in your life.
There are many wonderful people pursuing and promoting simplicity. And it’s a privilege to help support them and encourage others at the same time.
The Necessary Art of Subtraction | Zen Habits by Leo Babauta. Continual addition isn’t sustainable or desirable.
Costs and Benefits of Awareness | The Minimalists by Ryan Nicodemus. Whenever we make radical changes—diet, exercise, career, etc.—we shine a spotlight on our flaws.
The Gift of Not Giving A Thing | Yummy Mummy Club by Christella Morris. To spend some time with a family member or friend would mean so much more to them than another toy this holiday season.
