YES! I can do this!

I need to simplify! I spend my summers in a very small camp – a tiny home really, but it was built way before tiny homes were a thing. Believe me, it doesn’t take much to clutter a small space… Anyway, I’m working on it.

This audiobook gives clear advice on how to declutter both my house and my life. I did not expect that but the life part is so valuable to me that I just had to share.

The author gives us her personal experiences on how to blend mindfulness with practicality to make simplification doable. It covers organizing and tips for resisting consumer pressures.

I highly recommend this audio if you want a simpler home and lifestyle.
