Inspiring a sustainable life
I feel truly blessed so many like-minded people have been reaching out to me, asking for inspiration for their own journeys into embracing a minimalist, sustainably conscious lifestyle. I’ve included my favourite inspirational books, documentaries and bloggers in an earlier blog post - A year of minimalist living which you can read here - but there are so many more that have been adding value to my life. So I’ve decided to post this as a stand alone blog as an aide memoire for everyone, myself included. Please do go ahead and share, bookmark or pin to your Pinterest boards. And I’ll be sure to update it as/when I find something else I think will bring you as much value, as it has to me.
