“Distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes.”
~Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Do we really wear only 20 percent of our clothes 80 percent of the time? It seems hard to believe, but studies say it’s true for most of us.
How many of your clothes have been languishing in your closet for years? Do you have items with the tags still on them? I am guilty on both counts. Who hasn’t made an impulsive clothing purchase they’ve later regretted?

Our life is frittered away by detail… simplify, simplify.
~Henry David Thoreau
A re you drowning in your stuff? Starved for time? Feeling overwhelmed? Ready to get out of the vicious work and spend cycle? Do you long for a a life that reflects your priorities and values?

The time may be right to take a closer look at Simple Living , an approach to life practiced for centuries by the Shakers, Amish and Mennonites and advocated by Henry David Thoreau back in the 1850s.

I first discovered Victoria Moran on Oprah years ago and have been enjoying her books ever since. Reading her warm and personal writing on topics of wellness, aging, weight loss, yoga, healthy eating, spirituality and leading a charmed life feels like receiving advice from my long lost spiritual big sister.

I have been an avid reader of Janet Luhrs’ Simple Living newsletter for years. It began back in the late 1990s when I read her book, The Simple Living Guide, a thoughtful practical guide for how to simplify our busy lives and live more deliberately. According to lawyer turned simple living advocate and writer Luhrs, living simply is not about being frugal, living on a tight budget, or a modest income; it’s about being fully aware of what we’re doing and why we’re doing it so we can have lives that nourish us.
