Simple things in life.


Living in excess is no longer fashion. Simplicity....

Our world is in an global financial turmoil. Our great financial system built on bricks of debt has crumbled. Pieces of our home, our nest eggs, savings, and shattered dreams resemble corpses in a postwar nightmare. We are all grieving. Whether you were a stockbrocker, a homeowner, an entrepeneur, a parent, a child the damage affects us all. Our future. What happens next is anyone's guess. But I am pretty sure what follows is increases in food and all our basic needs for survival. More depreciation in the value of our cash and savings. And distrust in governments. All on a global scale.

This is the time people start focusing on what is important in life. Relationships, Health, Food, Shelter. The basics.

Saving money, growing food, cooking at home and learning how to reconnect with yourself without material goods. It is about simplicity of life. We will all start again like a clean slate.

Being graceful... A simple thought that has taken over my thought space. My attempt to lead a graceful life in the simple things. That’s what it is about.
