BLESS YOU! You have no idea how timely this is for me.

There is a silence I need in my life which is more than just an absence of sound. My life has become too noisey. Simple Saturday is the medicine I need.

Love the Zen Habits post…I’m choosing just one principle, in the spirit of simplifying: One In, Two Out. I’m hoping that if I stick to this idea, I will become more discriminating about what I allow in…blogs, emails, tangible goods. Very exciting to think about, thanks so much for the link.
