Simple Days: A Journal

This is one of the most practical and entertaining journals of a journey to simple living. I liked the tone of this is what I did and this is what I learned. Just her life experiences with simplicity, choices and where they took her. No charts and no steps, just life experiences that teach more than any method or program could.

Worth re-reading once every year

Marlene Schiwy's book is inspirational. It's a dramatization of successful techniques for living well. It won't tell you how to balance a budget or how to save money or how to make lifestyle changes. Rather, it dramatizes the events in one woman's life as she negotiated a lot of these issues we all face. Thus, I like to re-read it every January when I set goals for the new year. The book is beautifully evocative of what a lot of women go through in their lives: marriage, work, saving for retirement, friendships, moving into a new home. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to see how one woman did it.
