Quotes to ponder:

"Sometimes simplifying gets messy. It’s pretty close to what I’d guess most want when simplifying life. I just didn’t count on what would come next."

"Letting go of so many things, physical and emotional, laid bare the things I cared for most."

"The soul of simple living rests in knowing that our things can be taken from our hands, but our joy and love and gratitude can never be taken from our hearts."
