There are many wonderful people online pursuing and promoting simplicity. When you find some time this weekend with a nice cup of coffee or tea, may you find inspiration in these words as they encourage others to find more life by owning fewer possessions:

Great reads today, Joshua — thank you!
Thank you so much for linking up to Rose’s post. I thought I was just a little crazy or something. It is good to know the uncomfortable feeling, and the lost feeling are natural and there is an end to them. God bless you and your work.
I really missed your weekend reads last week. I’m so glad they are back! Love your site.
Great articles! I finally got around to reading the Weekend Reads on Thursday :) I particularly found the “relationships” portion of Minimalism and Finding Yourself to be very thought provoking tonight.
This design is spectacular! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved
to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that,
how you presented it. Too cool!
