Is anyone else on sensory overload? With all of the ways too stay in touch, I'll admit,sometimes I simply don't want to be found...don't need to tweet or skype or constantly be texting on my smart phone. There is solace in silence. Does anyone else feel the same? Reclaiming Jane…that’s what I’m trying to do, moved to Fort Collins, Colorado and my commute is 39 seconds (for real).

My family is working toward voluntary simplicity. Our changes to achieve the goal are gradual but we do gain great satisfaction every time we manage to simplify a small potion of our life. Sometimes we get too stressed by living competitively and tempted to go wrong way. Whenever that happens we try to stop and think what's really important for our lives. That usually brings us back to the right track of a simple life. Thank you for your post. I'm glad to find your blog. It's very encouraging. I totally agree with you Shirley.

I decided to downsize not only my home but lots of other parts of my life too. Since I've started this journey, I have become happier and healthier, I exercise more, I eat better at home and I am saving much more money than before. Oh, and I'm working four days a week instead of five! Downshifting is actually one of most recent changes in my life. I decided to downsize not only my home but lots of other parts of my life too.
