Boomer women are in a unique position when it comes to simplifying their lives and downsizing. Dealing with a lifetime accumulation of stuff, they understand the complexity of the process of letting go. Learning to live simply can be emotional, exciting, and exhausting! An older woman is letting go of things that are woven into the very texture of their lives. Some items are physical objects, others invisible attachments and memories.

The journey of simplification involves letting possessions, people, ideas and habits go. Learning to simplify is not a passive activity. It is about making decisions, taking action, and using simplicity as a framework to facilitate a lifestyle that is truthful and authentic. It is not about saying NO to things but saying YES to life!

In this book, I share my personal story. I explain how I succeeded in reducing my worldly possessions to 200 items. My insights and experiences offer guidelines, inspiration, and encouragement for other boomer women. Simplicity drives action and uncovers purpose and passion. It starts in silence as a commitment to make a change. The urgency of growing older activates a desire to create an open space for joy and discovery.

That is why I wrote this book for boomer women. We are precious, unique, and beautifully complex. The truth is that simplicity is a way of life, not a moment in time. Reducing possessions, ideas, and attachments leave space for new ideas and experiences to manifest. For the truly important things in life to be revealed.
