You Can Buy Happiness (and it is cheap)

Great book about simplifying your life. The book is about a couple who share their journey of down sizing. The author is honest about her reluctance and fears along the way. she also interviews other people who have gone through the same process. Reading this book has encouraged me to keep life simple and not get caught up in "stuff." Relationships are the most important value in life. I am still in transition and Eric and I are looking for a place to live. We are asking tough questions and trying to make a move to a place we can stay for a couple of years. While we won't be moving into a true tiny home we are looking into a small apartment; 400 square feet.

Like the couple in this book I look forward to a small space to maintain. I want to own such a small amount of stuff that it can all be organized easily. If you know me you will understand what a challenge this is. I am an out of sight out of mind person so a smaller space should help me to be conscious of my space.

If you need to rethink life I invite you to read "You Can Buy Happiness and it's cheap."
