Freedom of Simplicity
Simplicity is in. There are simple living magazines, books, blogs, software, seminars, and...whew, it's not so simple to keep up on all the simple living tips and techniques. Within that whirlwind stands "Freedom of Simplicity," a recently updated version of what some have called a simple living "manifesto" that was first published more than 25 years ago (author Richard Foster was all about simplicity before simplicity was cool!).
This is not the simple living of "21 Household Items that Double as Organizers!" Instead, grounded in biblical teachings, "Freedom of Simplicity" calls readers toward a holistic approach to simple living. It is partly about outer practices, such as replacing multi-tasking with re-learning how to do one thing at a time. And it is partly about inner practices, such as cultivating contentment. Mostly, "Freedom of Simplicity" is a call to let go of the many things that don't matter and become more aware of those that do; it's an invitation to a way of living that's more about the quality of life than the quantity.
“The workshop was a huge benefit to my staff. I have a number of young people (twenty-somethings) and they had more questions than I would have anticipated. Matt did a great job covering everything from budgeting and planning for a mortgage to highlighting our 401K match so they clearly understood the unique benefits of both working at eshots and investing even a small amount now.”
