Tuesday, I announced my first Giveaway here at New Nostalgia. I will be combining the comment entries from Tuesday’s post with any comment entries left on this post for the final drawing on May 24.
I am very pleased to be able to give away “Simplify” ~ an ebook by Joshua Becker.
Do You Know What A Minimalist Is? Well, here is your chance to meet one!
From “Simplify”
“Since choosing to simplify his life two years ago, Joshua has encouraged hundreds of thousand of others around the world to pursue minimalism in their life through his blog: www.becomingminimalist.com. As one of today’s leading proponents of “rational minimalism,” joshua presents 7 principles that will help guide the reader into a practice of simplicity that works for their unique, individual lifestyle. You will enjoy his unique blend of illustrative stories, theoretical principle, and practical application. After all, if this typical family of four living in the suburbs can simplify their life, so can you!”
I absolutely loved reading this ebook! It was an easy read full of many practical tips on how to live life more simply. I jive with his idea of “rational minimalism,” which for me, gives permission to pursue minimalism, even though I am wired to love beauty, creativity and warmth in my home. Minimalism was something that was appealing to me, yet the typical thoughts of a stark and empty home freaked me out a bit! Joshua’s idea of “rational minimalism” struck a cord with me, it allows for one to have their own style of minimalism, which just makes sense– especially when one has a family with kids! Yes, more people means more stuff, but as I learned in the book, it is possible and so rewarding to be intentional in the things you decide to keep or to buy. As Joshua says in the book “minimalism is the intentional promotion of the things we most value, and the removal of anything that distracts us from it.” Love that.
So on to the giveaway!
