The Simple Living Pledge

I pledge to live a simple life through: - decluttering; - using less; - learning to be sustainable in all aspects of life; - slowing down and finding joy in little things; - reconnecting with my inner self; - spending more time with my loved ones; - elevating experiences above possessions.

(And for me I'm adding...)

or when the 'event' arrives

I'm standing there scratching my head saying

I KNOW I am not the only one does this

So this new year

along with

Reduce

Reuse

Recycle

I am adding
