Inspiring Simplicity. Weekend Reads.

becoming-minimalist-simplicity

Fill your life with stories to tell, not stuff to show.

The simplicity/minimalism movement is a beautiful community. It is friendly, encouraging, and helpful. There is a genuine understanding that any promotion of simplicity is good for society—and there is little concern over who gets the credit.

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 to inspire more simplicity in your life today.

7 Reasons Generous People Are More Likely To Be Successful | Lifehack by John Patrick Hickey. Generous people are often successful in life—not just at work or in the community, but in their personal lives as well.

9 TED Talks to Watch Instead of Shopping | TED. Forget about Black Friday. Step away from the mall and watch these talks on consumerism … and why it’s not always the best thing.
