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!
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.
I really missed your weekend reads last week. I’m so glad they are back! Love your site.
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.
Great reads today, Joshua — thank you!
‘Own less, live more’.
I think it’s a nice way of living. I think it’s the ONLY way of living.
Best regards.
