You have inspired me to live more simply, eat much less animal products and just enjoy the moments.

I, too, fell into that trap recently. I purchased a coffee table that I loved, but sadly it just doesn't fit in with the rest of my more traditional furniture. It does make me feel younger and hipper, but the reality is that I am just not that hip! Nor am I willing to re-decorate around a single item, even if I do like it. I read your blog for minimalist inspiration and appreciate it when someone can embrace a simple lifestyle and share it in the way you do.

It looks like you are considering making it private and I hope you dont but will resect your decision of course. I recently retired and have been browsing the blogs of women out there and yours is one that I bookmarked. It was so fun to read about your design style, ideas and tips. I do hope you you can "Keep Calm and Carry On".

I love all your posts - the home/simplicity/decluttering ones are so inspiring! I haven't commented often, but have read all your posts - some several times! <br />I understand the desire to protect your privacy, & if fewer posts will help you to achieve that obviously I think we would all understand, but you have developed a lovely supportive community & it would be such a shame to lose that!!

You have a global audience and almost everything of your life is out there forever and what isn't is findable. The whole concept of personal privacy (as our generation knew it) is gone forever. I think young people have grown up like this and it doesn't scare them - but it does me. I've been putting off starting to blog about my family history - do I really want strangers to read about it?
