More of What Matters 
Pingback: More of what matters: this week (11 May 2014) | More of What Matters
Thanks so much Valerie! We really appreciate your comment, glad you enjoyed reading!
I really like your lists. I’m going to print them out so I can think about them more offline! – Karen
Wow, thank you!
Great lists! Thanks for inspiring me. I love your blog. 🙂
Thank you, that’s so lovely! We’re following and reading through your blog now.
Thanks for the visit. I love this!
Thank you so much! Been enjoying reading your blog this evening. Very motivating! 🙂
This inspires me to move on to the next level of minimalism very soon (I hope)! Thank you 🙂
Its the ultimate accolade to have inspired someone else, thank you so much for your comment! We’ve been having a look at your blog this evening and look forward to following your journey.
Thank you, it feels great to be part of a growing “minimal” community 😉
Those are two lists I can totally support. Nice job. It is great to see driving on your “Do Less” list. Linda and I are trying to create a life where we don’t need to own a vehicle. We think that would be the ultimate in simplicity.
Thank you! Yes, we would love to be vehicle-free in the future, good luck with getting there yourselves. Since we started the blog we have been able to remove car commuting from our lives, as I cycle to work or bus in bad weather. That has saved a lot of fuel and money!
