Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. -- Confucius

Good News of the Day:
Jay Shafer lives in an 8-by-12 foot house. He built it from scratch. With no prior carpentry knowledge or experience. "I'm sure there are people out there who think I'm crazy for living so small, but living in this little house has allowed me to totally reinvent my life," he says. With a desire to "escape the rat race," the former grocery-store clerk's intentions were simple: focus on the things he really wanted to do, and not on working for money. Now, he runs a company that builds small homes for others. "I never thought I'd be an entrepreneur in anything, but it's my passion to design small houses," he smiles. "It's been really liberating."

I read this on yahoo and was so impressed with him! After reading it I felt compelled to do a little home cleansing. Getting rid of unneeded items. (=
ReplyDeleteOMG, these tiny homes are fabulous! This makes down scaling seem SO attractive. What a clever man.
ReplyDeleteThe words by Confucius are so true. We are masters of complicating life.
Beautiful setting. Love the simplicity message!
