72 blog posts on the Simple Living Manifesto

Our friend, Steve Burleson over at Treehouse Monastic, came up with a great idea of blogging through each of the points from The Simple Living Manifesto (which we mentioned here).

Basically he’s writing one blog post for each of the 72 points in the Simple Living Manifesto — we’re going to join him — and we’re inviting you to join us as well.

There’s nothing complicated about it. Simply write one blog post, Tweet, or Facebook note for each of the 72 points.

You can make your posts, simple or lengthy, straight text, a photo, graphic or whatever strikes your fancy as it relates to each of the points.

Steve plans to blog one point per day and we’ll probably stick with our regular posting pattern of Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You can write your posts once a day, three times a week, or once a week if you’d
like.

Just be sure to stop by and drop us a note, letting us know where we can find your post.

We’ll post our first post at noon (CST) Monday, Feb 1 but you can read Steve’s first post over at his blog right now.

And if you’d like, you’re welcome to use the banner above to label each of your posts, simply copy this code into each of your posts:

Hope you join us on the journey! And be sure to let us know if you do!

  1. So I realize I’m about a year behind on this, but this is such a great idea. I think going through this list and thoughtfully writing about each manifesto would do me a world of good. I’m going to give it a go!

    • Never too late!

      I’ll try and keep up with your posts and share the links here when I can.

      Feel free to use the graphic above if you’d like to help unify your posts. Looking forward to seeing what you write.
