Drumroll please (you'll have to use your imaginiation--I haven't figured out how to imbed an audio file that plays when you get here!)...
Go check out the Free Downloads page over there (<------) to download the introduction and first issue of The ABCs of Living Simply.
I'll add a new issue each week and let you know here when each one is available. (I'm going to aim for Mondays--we'll see how it goes!)
Each issue can be downloaded and printed onto a 4 x 6 card and put together to become your very own little card deck/booklet filled with ideas for living simply. I'm thinking that I'm going to print mine on pretty paper, hole punch the tops, and tie it all together with some ribbon. I'd love to see what you come up with as we go along too.
Enjoy!
P.S. I've clicked to open these files, saved them to my desktop, then opened them in Preview to print. It seems to work fine. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them (or ask Toben to answer them and I'll pass his answer along!).









I love it!!! Thank you so much. When I have some time I want to email you a question or two.
I'm speaking at a womens retreat in late January and wanted to ask you about your book. I'm all about being simple. It really is the best and only way to go! :)
Much love and thanks,
Fran

Joanne, I just wanted to tell you how much your blog has been an answer to my prayers. I'm working through an incredibly difficult semester at college, and I'm currently in between church homes. I feel myself being called in a different direction, wanting to live more simply, but wanting to finish school and meet all these outside "responsibilities." I definitely feel that I haven't been making worship a priority, and your blog has reminded me that I can keep my faith strong regardless of anything I'm going through. Thank you so much for giving me hope! I look forward to the ABC's.
all the best,
Violet
