Just thought I should probably let my regular blog readers know that I’ve recently started publishing my eNewsletter, Simple Times, again. Due to life’s ups, downs and crazy circles, I had to cease publication for several months this year. It’ll probably be going out about twice-a-month again, but I don’t have any specific publication dates set … just know you’ll get it when I get to it. lol
If you haven’t subscribed yet, it’s really easy. Click on the following link and it’ll open an email window, and then just send a blank email to the address that comes up … and voila! You’ll be a Simple Times subscriber as soon as you respond to the confirmation email that will arrive in a minute or two.

Simple Times is a free email publication dedicated to the pursuit of simple living – providing inspiration, encouragement, motivation and practical help for those who (for whatever reasons) are choosing to simplify their lives.
Regular topics included in Simple Times are things like:
- saving money on everyday expenses
- simple parenting tips
- cooking for the freezer
- spiritual simplicity
- easy homemaking ideas
- and just generally simplifying daily life
There will definitely be an added focus on simple ways of surviving in the current tough economic climate. With my current bout of unemployment/underemployment, I’m definitely attuned to what’s happening in that arena right now.

Thanks — I will check it out!

Hi Deborah,
I signed up, thanks! I have been reading your blog for awhile, just went back all the way and re-read from the beginning….you have been through so much in the past few years…..I was just wondering, when you sold your house in Olympia, what made you decide to move to buy a mobile home and move to Auburn?
I live in Tacoma, by the way, so right in the middle of them both!
Also, I just wanted to check to see…is your contact info address the same?
I put a bid on your “Frugal Living For Dummies” book on Ebay too…hope I win it! I borrowed it from the library once and thought it was really helpful…I also like the Tightwad Gazette books too, have you read those?
I just wanted to say I am sorry about what happened to you with your job at the church and how you were treated…it does seem like the church are the ones who shoot their wounded many times….and I know that’s not the Lord’s heart. Just hearing your story makes me want to pay more attention to what may be going on with others in these kinds of situations, job loss, etc…
keeping you and your family in my prayers,
Kelly
