Posted August 10th, 2009 by Michael Janzen and filed in Issue 11: Obstacles and Solutions

homesteadWe all face many common obstacles while making the transition to a simpler lifestyle. In this issue of Small Living Journal we share some of our experiences and how we’ve worked through them. Some of us have also included what we expect to encounter along the way and how we plan to move through those future obstacles.  We hope you find it useful to hear our stories and look forward to your comments and questions.

Introduction to Issue 5: Future Plans

Posted May 18th, 2009 by Michael Janzen and filed in Issue 5: Future Plans

This issue of Small Living Journal focuses on our dreams, goals and plans for the future. As you read you’ll notice that each of us has a different approach. The diverse nature of our backgrounds must explain our different paths; but the one common thread is that living simply is helping us realize our dreams.

We also have a guest author, Betsy McCullen, who has shared with us the lessons she’s learned and a simple strategy she is using to accomplish her goals.
