I know who you are: a barefoot bee-lover who’s happy to live simply.

I like looking back at the end of each year to see which posts were most popular with readers. It gives me an idea of what you like, who you are, or who you aspire to be. It seems you are a barefoot, bee-lover who's happy to live simply. My top three posts for the year were: 1. Bee friendly to native bees: how to build a solitary bee hotel 2. Footloose and free: benefits of barefoot walking. 3. Simple living a selfish joy.

New years resolutions to help you live simply. Little eco footprints

2014 was a big year for me. A back injury and a (four month) visit from a monk helped me make some drastic changes to simplify my life. I quit a career that had been an important part of my life for 20 years. I'm still digesting much of the change – but am certain I'll be writing more in the new year. I'm embracing the idea of being a single-income family and we'll hopefully be moving into our tiny home early in the new year. 

Little Eco Footprints celebrates six years.

This little space turns six today. I'm extremely grateful to you – for taking the time to visit. 

My intentions for Little eco footprints are still the same as recorded back in my first post six years ago: 

"My greatest wish is that our journey will inspire others to live a more sustainable life so that my Little Eco can enjoy the quality of life with her children that we share with her."

Wishing you a calm, creative and meaningful 2015.

How to create the time to live YOUR fair and sustainable life?

Almost a year ago I wrote here that I was going to step away from this space for a month – to focus on home and start the new year with a calm mind and a clear vision.

It seems one month wasn’t enough. This space became one of the many casualties of me ruthlessly clearing the clutter from my schedule. A move that was necessary for me to move even closer to living the life that I aspire to.

We can’t have and do everything – we have to choose. And I chose to focus on home for a while.
