What Is The Good Life

Tip #23 – Define what the “good life” is for you, that does NOT include a life of goods.

It is easy to get caught up in the consumerism lifestyle of America. We think that acquiring and accumulating will make us happy. Yet our desire for simplifying is exact opposite of this mentality – that is why living this way, is so difficult. What does the “good life” look like for you? What will it take? What changes do you need to make?

Simple Living: Turn Off The TV

As I sit here and type this post, I am sitting in my grandparent’s old chair, while my husband does some work on his computer. Our tv is not on. Although, I admittedly say that often times, this is the scenario, but the tv IS on, really just as background noise. We may turn a…

Simple Living: Watch What You Buy

You are a spend-a-holic? Before you quickly stand up and say “no way”… let me explain. Do you ever get urges to go shopping? To buy something new? To buy SOMETHING? Maybe that urge is there every few weeks, months, or maybe even every day. How do you feel when you buy something? Do you…
