But you are right, simplification is a long-life process and I am so happy to be able to share and learn via this blog.Kanelstrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656658673748250383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-29844678332736579602013-04-04T14:05:49.074+02:002013-04-04T14:05:49.074+02:00Great post and thank you so much for sharing. This...Great post and thank you so much for sharing. This year my life is about just that, simplicity, doing what I love and acting upon that. I have always been aware of what no longer serves and live a sustainable life as I appreciate and take care of the environment around me and peace of mind is very important to me as doing what I love and am inspired by. For the past year I have been donating items which no longer serve to others who are in need of them or will appreciate them more. I love being in the present moment and am open to new opportunities. It is delightful to be alive and be ignited by what one loves and enjoy the simple things for they are the most enjoyable and satisfying. Thank you for a great post. In my new website I will include your pledge xx Best wishes to you<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-18984967411020932022013-04-03T15:30:14.780+02:002013-04-03T15:30:14.780+02:00Lovely timing!

Just last weekend I went through everything I owned, donated a ton of stuff, and literally simplified everything. So far I'm feeling much better- we don't need huge spaces to live happily, and more & more I'm living up to that!<br /><br />http://iffoundmake.blogspot.com is my new site!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03056231742745570562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-73561975272833468342013-04-03T03:38:10.465+02:002013-04-03T03:38:10.465+02:00Beautiful!

I still find myself being stressed and not having time to do all the enjoyable things I want. Reading this made me realize I need to make a few changes to help slow us down instead putting off making those changes. Thank you for the inspiration!

Add to this the surrounding world, which does its best to make us believe that we should be over-active, extremely busy and most of all buying... it is disastrous and it takes a very strong willpower to go against the flow in this case. I love it that you have found your way and learning to live with less. You are right, striving for a sustainable and slow life is the most important thing we can do for ourselves and our children.

Living more frugally has been a necessity as I work on building my small creative business rather than return to the corporate world after a layoff 2 years ago. Slowing down and enjoying simple pleasures has been a source of inspiration for my creativity and energy for my soul. Living a healthy life has become more important than ever after recently surviving cancer, and I suppose if I can find a silver lining in the otherwise frustrating side effect of "chemo brain," it's that by losing my adeptness at multi-tasking, I've become better at single-tasking which has helped me improve focus and observation. Striving for a greener, more sustainable approach to living is the contribution each of us can make to ensuring the best possible future for our children and our world. You can definitely count me in on your simple living pledge and on continuing to participate in the community you've created here on your blog, Sonya.Paper And Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266292234930844859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-73285908842628321022013-04-02T15:23:46.863+02:002013-04-02T15:23:46.863+02:00What beautiful photographs you have chosen for thi...What beautiful photographs you have chosen for this post!<br /><br />Now I am eager for strawberry season!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-30388983857044426172013-04-02T14:24:32.968+02:002013-04-02T14:24:32.968+02:00This is so true...we have been trying to simplify ...This is so true...we have been trying to simplify things over here lately.
