I certainly need to appreciate the value of reduction rather than seeing it as reducing or diminishing or depriving. Daily life can be super challenging, particularly in the current climate, and digging out of financial woes and/or over-consumption is quite a challenge. At least I don’t have a clutter issue. In fact, I love helping others reduce their clutter. It is so liberating for them!

And thanks for the heads up on Mary’s blog. Will have to check that out too.
