Simpler Living Weekly Nudge
Jan. 8, 2018
What’s NOW with SLW!
- SLW! Bonus Podcast — Derek & Nancy Casady of The Climate Mobilization Confront Climate Crises (co-released with The Common Good Podcast)//
- Our Simpler Living Daily Nudges for Jan. (Life Standards of Voluntary Simplicity)//
- 10 Tips for a Simpler, More Meaningful Easter #1. Plan ahead. Instead of going on auto-pilot, hold a family meeting to decide what the group really wants to do and who’s going to do what. Observe Lent for 40 days before Easter, possibly with a study/action/prayer guide or calendar, such as ‘Who’s Risen from the Dead, Anyway?’ and Worship Alternatives: Lent, Holy Week, Easter. Lent begins on Ash Wed., Feb. 14 (also Valentine’s Day!).
- Simpler Formats for 2018–SLW! Weekly Digest will be discontinued and the SLW! Podcast will be reduced to one episode per month, issued on the 15th. The complete SLW! Monthly Digest on the SLW! site will continue to feature the latest posts from colleague organizations and will be updated weekly. Simpler Living Weekly Nudge will feature offerings from SLW! It comes as your free subscription to SLW! Blog. The Daily Nudge comes by email (send NUDGE to SimpleLivingworks@yahoo.com) or by Twitter @GeraldIversen. Choose the options that work for you.
- Subscribers to SLW! Podcast will receive The Common Good Podcast (TCGP)–which I produce and co-host–on the 1st of the month. Likewise, subscribers to TCGP will receive SLW! Podcast on the 15th as a BONUS. So, SLW! Podcast subscribers will continue to receive two episodes per month. This makes good sense since the missions of both SLW! and Jubilee OneEarth Economics are so complementary and the two work together closely. For example, I blog on the Jubilee site at CasaJubileo.org occasionally. Your comments on these changes are welcome.

- 10 Tips for a Simpler, More Meaningful Christmas #7. Give alternative gifts. • Give 25% of what you spent last year to the needy… individuals or groups locally, nationally or internationally.
• Buy crafts and clothing from developing countries at alternative gift markets, not from commercial importers, so that the artisans receive a fair price for their work.
• Give of yourself, not just “stuff” – a coupon book for future services (such as baby-sitting or an “enchanted evening”); something baked, sewn, handmade, composed, etc.; or a family service project, such as working together at a soup kitchen. - Our Daily Simpler Living Nudge
