Today’s a big day for Simplicity Voices: its first ever takeover!

Every day this week, simplicity blogger Michelle Summerfield, of The Classy Simple Life, will be picking an article or post from around the web designed to inspire you to pare back, cut down and chill out.

Michelle, who lives near Toronto, Canada, left her sixteen-year career in corporate sales and marketing to embrace simple living and pursue a writing career. She writes about minimalism, money, travel, and how to lead a simple life of attainable luxury.

I’ve taken a sneak peek at her choices, and you’re in good hands.

A quick reminder: if you’d like to get brief weekly updates on Simplicity Voices, you can follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
