Less Space,Less Things, More Life

The other day I was watching the Oprah show where she was talking with women from Denmark and visiting their homes. Danish people prefer to live simply in small spaces. She took a tour of this one home that was the epitome of simplicity. I loved it. I could live there very easily.

Yet, my house doesn't look like that at all!! (not yet)

During the tour, the woman's husband came in and Oprah mentioned that Danish people are comfortable with less space than Americans.

His comment was perfect: "Less space, less things, more life."

In my search for simplicity, I'm finding that I am very happy with less things, but also, less space. I spend a lot of time outdoors.

Next week, my husband and I are moving to a little bungalow on a small island off the west coast of Florida. Its not furnished. I'm looking forward to having fun living from scratch!
Simple, small, effortless....with lots of ocean, sky, and color......

Here's a video clip of a typical Danish home. If you don't have a lot of "things" then its easy to be neat. Its amazing how little we actually need to live.

Less space, less things, more life."
