Minimalista is one of my favorite and most inspiring books. It is a beautiful, elegant book, chock full of tips and Vivian Johnson takes the most beautiful photographs! If you don't have a copy yet, please treat yourself! I refer to it often for ideas and inspiration. Wishing you much continued success, Shira!

I so appreciate your graceful matter-of-fact approach to living a tailored mionimalist life. I am inspired by your interview in A Year of Mental Health to make August my no-buy month - baby steps as I have never tried that, although I'm strong on triage to only those things I truly love in my house, my closet, and getting there on my bookshelves.

Thank you, Shira! I loved your point about selling yourself vs selling your product. I'm in the midst of getting a side hustle off the ground, I know I have something that really helps people, but I feel shmarmy selling it. Thanks for your tips!

I couldn’t agree more with these! Offering value before anyone offers you money rings especially true! And consistently offering value (without asking for things in return) as your business grows! ❤️❤️
