I enjoyed reading this book. Particularly about Kelly's own life story and why she decided to simplify and downsize the possessions and habits in her life that were preventing her from feeling truly free and happy.It is so easy to get bogged down in wanting: more, more, MORE....losing sight of what is truly important in life and what is just "stuff" with little or no value, in the big picture.The author also includes some easy ways to incorporate a more minimalist lifestyle for everyone's needs, not just for people who plan to go as far as she did in scaling down possessions etc...The only thing that I found a bit surprising was her continued need for the drugs she takes for her hand issues. I had actually expected there to be a change for the better in this regard, after she made the significant lifestyle changes that she did. So often, physical pain and ailments are directly related to how we are living, what we are not dealing with head on etc...I was sorry that these issues did not improve in Kelly's case. Perhaps they have since this book was written, I hope so.Recommended!Geraldine Helen Hartman: author of the Haiku Reflections series.
