Simplicity isn’t just about having a minimalist home.
This story picks up from where I left off in my last post. If you want to start from the beginning, check out Back to the Real Me. The more I simplify and get rid of everything weighing me down, the more I realize that I’m getting back to my true self. I’m not just…
