The ABCs of Minimalism

In our stressful world, full of messages that tell us more is always better and that we can buy our way to happiness, our true needs are often ignored, buried under a pile of excess things and relentless busyness.  Minimalism can reduce the background noise of clutter in your home and schedule so you can gain clarity about what really matters to you.

Over the next several weeks, I'm going to write about some basics that can help you start living with freedom and intention.
