Entertaining and Educational submitted by Enzy on August 14, 2014, 4:40pm This is a great book for those of us who have flirted with the idea of downsizing. Dee Williams is one of those women I would love to befriend. I envision meeting her and instantly forming a bond that would be able to weather any storm. Her personality and humor shine through her writing making her an incredibly enigmatic figure who draws the reader in...or at least me. If you are looking for an entertaining book that is also somewhat educational as I did not know a lot of the terms she threw around.

In addition to discussing some of the more technical aspects of simplifying your life and moving into a smaller space, Dee also touches on the emotional ramifications of letting go, physically ridding her life of objects that had emotional value. She also addresses the fear that accompanied the realization that she would not be able to change her mind once she took action.

I've read it twice submitted by Elizabethreads on July 31, 2021, 7:59pm I loved this book. Dee's writing has a distinct voice- she's like a wise friend sitting across from you, giving you advice. I appreciated reading her honest thoughts about downsizing, moving, and aging.

Inspiring submitted by himaja2 on June 20, 2022, 8:12pm Love Dee's approach to life, her thoughts on the magic of ordinary moments, and how she built herself a home and a community.
