Just after moving to Korea, my Dad told me to “start becoming more and more comfortable with less and less.” He’s a wise man, so even though I thought at the time he was simply referring to material possessions, it’s likely he was not. I’m feeling that NOW is a good time to re-evaluate the stuff in my life. Why, you ask? I’m spending way too much time online, and not enough time being still. I’m letting people bother me, who shouldn’t. I have too much clutter and junk in my home. I’ve been comparing my life to other lives, and that’s dumb. I haven’t been very nice to myself.
Maybe you can relate? If so, here are some good reads that might set you in the right direction, as they have for me.

We really should meet up for coffee soon! We are going through so many of the same things. Living with less is especially important when you’re—oh, just packing all your belongings into a few suitcases.
Meagan when do you leave? I’m here until March 8th, but I have two weeks off at the end of February. Coffee date for sure!
I’m leaving March 19. End of February coffee date it is~ ^^
Yay!
Lovin’ andthenwesaved links. I’ll be checking back with that blog often. Thanks for the good stuff. My boss at work has been a huge inspiration for simple living in my life. Her motto is if she brings something into her house to keep she will get rid of something (usually by giving it away to someone who’s mentioned that they liked it)!!
That is a really cool idea! It’s like a purge & random-act-of-kindness sandwich! I love sandwiches… Hope you’re well Mandi! ^^
