Our lives are so full of so many things that when we really think, if we can find time and opportunity amist all the clutter to think, we might make the stunning realization that we maybe don't need so many things and obligations tugging at our weary minds and bodies.

In THE NOT SO BIG HOUSE , Susanka shows us more intimate house design tailored to our real, everyday needs and explains budgeting, building a home from scratch, and energy efficient contruction.

Susanka's philosopy of simplity is expanded upon, and applied to our personal lives, in her NEW book,  THE NOT SO BIG LIFE   in which she touches on subjects such as:

-Noticing What Inspires You

-Identifying What Isn't Working

-Removing the Clutter

-Learning to See Through the Obstacles

-Improving the Quality of What You Have

-Moving Into Your Not So Big Life

-Maintaining Your Newly Remodeled Life

Susanka also explores "the reestablishment of sufficiency, beauty and balance in our homes, in our communities, and on our planet through the making of sacred space designed for living, for self expression, for introspection and for inner listening..." on her web site, Maitrha a non-profit foundation.

And finally, there is a Community Blog Forum where you can participate in discussions about downsizing and simplifying your home and your life.

Be sure to read    THE NOT SO BIG LIFE .  In her elegant, clear style, Susanka convinces us that less truly is more --- much more.
