Simple Living Movement

Our first real glimpse into the simple living movement started with Thoreau's Walden.

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."Thoreau

We wondered did most humankind really feel the hopelessness that leads to rash decisions. And if these same bulk of people felt that way why were they not talking about it!?

That is where it comes from we believe. The mass of humankind decided they were not going to live their lives in quiet desperation anymore!

"Direct your eye right inward, and you'll find a thousand regions in your mind yet undiscovered. Travel them, and be expert in home-cosmography."Thoreau

Know yourself. It is not a one size fits all! Don't let yourself live in quiet desperation because you feel it is an all, or nothing ideal! Know yourself and live your own life.

We do think it would be fun to live on Waldens Pond! We know positively others would not find that a great adventure! So just because our thoughts are different from yours means we both know ourselves well!

We are fascinated by what others do though. We marvel at a web site we were reading. They grow all their own food, eggs, and milk. We couldn't decide if they were saying they lived with out electricity or not. Anyway it is all done in town. I wondered what their neighbors thought-- being awoken each morning by the self sufficient family's rooster. You can't teach a rooster to be quiet! We learned loads from their site, even if we would not do exactly the same things they did.

We want you to see the simple living movement is where you are at right now. It starts with a quiet desperation, a pang of regret for more time, missing a family togetherness, or needing more time to do something you enjoy. When that happens, and as you look inward, and find all the things your mind really wants.... You start to really know yourself! Then is when you can move forward into your own life of abundance!
