Live Green | Declutter | Simplify Life
When was the last time you let yourself sit down and dream about your future? Kids do it all the time but, as we get older, we often shun this behaviour as a frivolous indulgence.

Are you familiar with the Diderot Effect? Even if you don’t have a name for it, I’m willing to bet you’ve experienced its effects on your life. Most of us have. It’s a common side effect of a consumer culture that conditions us to want new things, even when our old things are perfectly fine.

September is here and the cooler mornings are bringing a feeling of fall to the air. As we get ready to say farewell to summer and head into my favourite season, I’m delighted to share my August 2022 roundup of awesome blog posts.
