Simple Living Starts with Living Local


Welcome to my first blog post. Simple Living has different meanings for different people. For me it means:
  • Living within my means
  • Living with the knowledge that I share this earth
  • Living with a sense of community
Beyond this, no topic is too small or too large. The easy part is keeping it local. Madison offers a wealth of opportunities and support for living simple (while still livin' large).

Want to learn more about living simply in the Mad City? Here are a few city resources to get you started:

  1. Living within one's means is next to impossible these days. Can't wait to read about your ideas.

  2. Good first post. It was simple, held my attention, and provided some great preliminary resources. A picture of the city would have made it a little more visually stimulating, but all in all a good foundation.

  3. Thanks for your comments! I have some ideas but I'm also hoping folks will share suggestions about living simply.

    On the photo...great idea! I was being a chicken and waiting until we had some instruction on adding images before attempting it...but I think I'll go for it next time and just try it. Visuals would definitely help.
