A few good reads and a piece I wrote for Life Your Way.
What My Son’s Disabilities Taught Me About ‘Having It All’ by Marie Myung-Ok Lee. I live in a time where my awful vision can be corrected with glasses. I am a college graduate. I am never hungry unless I choose to be. Do I have enough? Resoundingly: yes. And I ask you to take a moment: I suspect you might, too.
The 7 Myths of a Containerized Lifestyle at Eco Salon. A garlic dicer will not simplify your life, it will clutter it. The same goes for more storage. By K. Emily Bond a lovely American writer living overseas. Like me she also appeared on House Hunters International. Her Eco Salon pieces inform, entertain or make you laugh.
One Choice that Simplified my Life in Many Ways You probably have it in your house, shop for it regularly and deal with a lot of packaging waste. One choice that makes life simpler, healthier and cheaper. My second post at Life Your Way.

I understand about the car. It doesn’t work for everyone. But you tried it and found out, right?
Pretty sure as our son gets to school age and we put him in swimming or soccer we will get a car. Transit options aren’t that great for a those activities here on the island. I could see having a car while we have children at home and then not having one again once we are empty-nesters. We’ll see. I pledge nothing other than to see what works for our life at that time and season.
Good for you for trying it out
