Counting on 2026 …. Day 40

11th May

‘Simplifying life is not a one-time decision, but an ongoing practice. It requires discernment, honesty and, often, a willingness to live differently from the dominant patterns around us. It also requires community. These shifts are difficult to sustain alone.’ (1) 

Living any counterculture lifestyle can, by definition, be lonely. If only living simply were not counter cultural but the norm! This is where finding your community – Green Christian/ Christian Climate Action/ Hazelnut Community etc – helps
