Thank You Simple Sapien Readers!

November 6th, 2008 by Jack Rugile - 11 Comments - Posted in Miscellaneous, News

Simple Sapien AdI 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!

The world is a crazy and complex place these days. It can be incredibly overwhelming and stressful at times. Over the last few years I have simplified my life in many ways and would love to share some of my experiences with you. No, I am not an expert on simplicity. No, I don’t have all the answers to save planet Earth and our species. No, I can’t guarantee that my articles will help your exact situation 100%. And no, I am not the first person to create a blog about living a simple life.
