Readers, today’s post is over at Miss Minimalist. It’s the latest post in Francine Jay’s “Real-Life Minimalists” series. You can find it here:  Real Life Minimalists:  Caroline Garnet McGraw.

I’m honored to be posting there. Miss Minimalist is all about “living a beautiful life with less stuff.” Her recent book, The Joy Of Less, is a must-have if you’re interested in downsizing and simplifying (I’ve read it multiple times.) Francine is a gracious, articulate writer (on both practical and philosophical levels) and her site is an excellent resource for simplicity-seekers.

My post focuses on my experiences with simplicity within the L’Arche DC community. As Francine wrote, “[Caroline] tells us about her experiences living and working in a L’Arche community, and reminds us that it’s people, not things, that make our lives remarkable.”

Welcome to A Wish Come Clear, readers from Miss Minimalist! I encourage you to visit the (newly revamped) “About” page, where you’ll find crucial info. about what’s going on here, along with recommended posts. Also, stop in to the Store for more good reads.

Facebook and Twitter links are here (also on the sidebar to your right, along with feed subscription and post categories.)

Thank you for reading!

    Great post at Miss Minimalist! I just wanted to pop over here to say that I am a huge admirer of L’Arche (several friends have worked with them) and it is great that you love your work there! I have a family member who could have greatly benefited from a place like L’Arche, but unfortunately there is none in my home country. (There was a Faith and Light community there for a while, but it closed.) Now I live in DC and have often thought I should get involved; maybe this is the time! Thanks again for a wonderful post and for the work that you do.
