Life was too complicated, we wanted a simple life and we wanted stress relief. To quote Confucius, "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." It felted like we led a complex life. We wanted stress relief from the demands of corporate life.
We were willing to exchange our lifestyle for a simple life, we were tired of the hectic pace
and the tension and strain
we were experiencing. We were determined to alter our lifestyle by implementing
voluntary simplicity and finding ways to reduce our stress and anxiety.

While we still have challenges that life throws at us, we seem more able to cope with these challenges. Is it because with a simple life you actually do have less stress? We hope that by reading through the articles, thoughts, and quotes that you will see for us it has made a difference.
It has been a journey for us, a major lifestyle change, but a change that we love.
We are learning
new skills and questioning.
What we believe today is very
different to what we believed 10 years ago. It was not a change that did not include risk.
But like any risk, it all depends on your attitude
toward it. We were determined to change our lifestyle,
as the risk of not changing was greater in our mind. If we had continued in our corporate life we faced the risk
of downsizing and burnout. Have we had instant success, no. Have we experienced some failure,
and have we made more than one mistake, yes. But, throughout
our journey we continue to set goals, find solutions
and we keep our optimism
and hope!
We have learned patience,
we have our independence,
and we now take the time
to find enjoyment in each and every day.
We developed this website: to share our
learning's and experience,
and to share the experiences of others as we journey to stress relief by a simple life!
Questions we asked ourself as we started our journey. Can we find stress relief by living a simple life? Can we simplify our life to reduce our stress? Can we make the choices that we need to make? What opportunity is there in simple living? Will we get discouraged? Can we find a balance of life in simplicity? Will we have enough money to live comfortably? As our journey continues the answers to these questions are now clear. We hope you will see the answers as you read through our site.
