For the past several years, I have been creating graphics that help inspire living a simple life. At first, it was simply fun to do. But soon, the graphics became an important strategy in promoting and encouraging owning less, buying less, and living better.
I have been thanked repeatedly for them—and the graphics continue to attract interest (our Facebook group is now over 1,500,000 followers).
I thought it might be helpful to post some of the most popular images all in one place. So here they are.
I encourage you to share them with others. Share the graphics on your Facebook page or other social media accounts. Send them to your friends via email. Or print out your favorites to post in your home or office for daily inspiration.
Either way, may our lives continue to invite more and more people to experience the life-giving benefits of owning less.

Just had another talk with mom, reiterating how she needs to save very little for me and my kids. No one has any interest in being crushed by possessions.
I love giving stuff away, just got rid of two old doors, and think I can five some windows to a person who makes awesome decoration with them. Better than just throwing them.

These are my new refrigerator art! Especially love ‘inspiring them by the way that you live’. I did ‘just say no’ recently to an all expense paid trip to San Diego because it sounded like way to much stress for me. I cannot believe how absolutely liberating that was! I felt like I was taking care of my body and my psyche; that I was cherishing my Self by saying no. And to something free! Ha! Just because something is free doesn’t mean you don’t pay for it in some intangible way.

I am a “love to shop sales” and couponing person, trying to downsize. Your last sentence contains much wisdom!
Flor says

I’m someone who is constantly tossing stuff married to someone who clings! I recently de-stashed all my planning/office supplies, purged my basement and cleaned out my closet and gave stuff to consignment/Goodwill. It’s like coming out from under suffocation. I just don’t like…..stuff.

This post cold be an intervention for the pending crazed Back Friday shoppers. Unfortunately people will be crushed to death in the consumerism mad dash to own more.
