Shoppers on a Diet Tame the Urge to Buy from the NYTimes
Might have to try out the Six Items or Less Challenge or the Great American Apparel Diet. I actually think the Great American Apparel Diet would be the easier of the two for me--not buying any new clothes for a year rather than wearing the same six items over again for a month. I could easily do the same 12 items for 3 months though!

Reminds me of the happiest children I've ever seen in my life: rural kids in Argentina playing catch with multiple tied up plastic bags as their ball. Innovation is everywhere, happiness comes from the simplest things....To Those with Nothing, Soccer is Everything
I had never heard of this Oregon event until Klean Kanteen had a blurb about it. Indie bands, local food & brews, and beautiful landscapes--sounds like a great time at Pickathon!

Lol I told myself I wouldn't comment on EVERY post but I can't help it-- you excite me and I am totally into the simplicity movement. :)
Anyway, I finally read "Flexible Simplicity" by Down-to-Earth. Wow. I love her insight on how we can all live simpler lives; it comes in different shapes and sizes. That's what I really love about living a simple lifestyle-- it's personal and individualistic but in the whole scheme of things it positively impacts others. Very much matches up with what Christians are called to do!
(P.S. I've read some of her other entries, amazing how much she has to write about! It's so interesting!)
