It has been a great week for my niche. I highly recommend checking out the following links. It makes me so happy that there so many amazing writers out there who are sharing their knowledge and insight with us… for free! Thank you to all you bloggers out there who have supported and inspired me.
Am I missing some killer articles? Contact me and let me know!

Our brains can only hold so many memories and pieces of information at one time. It is easy to forget and lose track of our life goals, creative ideas, important tasks, dreams, imagination and passions. That is why I challenge you to start a journal or a blog to start getting your heart and mind in order!
I am sure that many of you have probably already started journals or blogs in your life. If that is the case, then I challenge you to put more effort into them. Write more. Write about more topics. Make it a habit and part of your routine. Read the full post…
Just came across this site, 43Things.com, that helps you track and share your life goals. It has been around for awhile (I live under a rock, get me out from under this rock!) and reached 1,000,000 registered users in April of 2007.
The concept and interface are very simple. Let me give you a run down of some of the site features.
Easy to register - You just fill out a very simple form and you are on your way. Then add a profile picture, a small bio, and start adding to your life goal list.
List and track your life goals - It gives you the option to list up to 43 things on your goal list. The coolest part is that it tells you how many other people have that exact same goal!
Share your goals with people - Send your friends and family a link to your profile, post your list to your blog, or share them with other users on the site.
Meet people with the same goals - After you add your goal to your list, you can click on it and be taken to a page dedicated to that particular goal. There you can find other people with the same goals, write entries about how your goal is coming along, read entries from other people about their progress, and receive advice on how to achieve your goals from users who have already accomplished them.
Receive inspiration from other users - You can “cheer” on other users and receive “cheers” on your goals. They also have a giant goal cloud that is similar to a tag cloud. It rotates through different goals on peoples’ lists, giving a bigger font to the really popular goals. There is a user to user message system as well.

This week’s simple challenge is a multiple purpose one. It is one that you should rinse and repeat many times throughout your life. I think we should always be evaluating our material possessions and deciding whether we need them or not.
I got an email from my dad the other day with a link to the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company. We are both huge fans of simplicity and small housing. I opened the site and was blown away by how small, simple, and appealing their houses are.
I have included some photos from their site of my favorite ones (the smallest ones, of course) below. Check out their website for more information and more photos of their houses.
Tumbleweed houses range from 65 to 837 square feet. The smaller ones come on wheels and don’t require a building permit! How cool is that? Park your simple and cozy home anywhere across the country.
I started this blog on August 29th, my 21st birthday. It began as a small idea but has since grown into something much bigger. I currently have 36 posts up and it is now a huge part of my life. None of this would have been possible without readers like you.
I just wanted to take a few minutes and thank you all for your support and your inspiring conversation. It so refreshing to know that there are so many out there who value a simple life. Living simple is not always easy, but it is always worth it. It takes a lot of discipline, but the rewards justify it completely.
I encourage you all to share your views about simple living. Whether it be in your own blog (which I highly recommend!), in a guest post on your favorite blog, in a comment on a post, in an e-mail, in a conversation, or even just to yourself in a journal. Simplifying your life is much easier when those around you are doing it too!
Just uploaded another video on YouTube. This one is dedicated to my niece and my girlfriend. It is both of their birthdays today! Hope you both have a fantastic day. Also, I am curious what you readers wish for on your birthday. Post a comment below and let us know!
You can find videos in my Video Posts category or on my YouTube account. Here is a text version of the video for those of you who can’t play it or don’t have audio. Enjoy!

Today, I have a very special task for you. It is a simple, but powerful task. This task will truly make a difference in someone’s life.
Your task is to show your appreciation for the ones who have helped you. The ones who cared for you. The ones who listened to you. The ones who went out of their way for you. The ones who supported you. The ones who did something big. The ones who did something small.

Effort: A conscious exertion of power, a serious attempt.
