The simplicity/minimalism niche is among the most friendly, encouraging, and helpful communities you will ever find. There is a genuine understanding that any promotion of simplicity is good for society—and there is little concern about who gets the credit for it.
It is a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful group of people. And I enjoy every opportunity to promote writing that encourages people to live more by owning less. So fix yourself a nice warm cup of coffee or tea. Find a quiet moment this weekend. And enjoy some encouraging words about finding more simplicity in your life today.

September 1, 2013 at 10:50 AMI love comics, and Bill Waterson’s comic was amazing! Allison Vesterfelt’s blog also got me thinking about why it’s easier to pack lightly for vacation than to clear out “stuff” from my home.
