Years ago, when I first met my husband, Adam, he had just published a Editorial book on voluntary simplicity and was engaged in work that took him across the Susan Corson-Finnerty (Editor-Manager), country leading workshops on simple living. I was struggling then, as I do now, with Kenneth Sutton (Senior Editor), what the shape and character of simplicity would look and feel like in my own life. Robert Dockhorn (Assistant Editor), Judith Brown (Poetry Editor), Voluntary simplicity is an option for those of us in the economically privileged partS Ellen Michaud (Book Review Editor}, of the globe; simple living is neither optional nor voluntary for the vast majority of Christine Rusch (Milestones Editor), humanity. It was Adam who pointed out to me that one begins where one is, and Julie Gochenour, Robert Marks, Cameron McWhirter (News Editors} what he discovered in his work with workshop attenders is that simplicity means Production something quite different to an upper-middle-class suburbanite than, for instance, to Barbara Benton (Art Director), Alia Podolsky a Catholic nun living under the auspices of her religious order (many of whom, to my (Assistant Art Director) surprise, invited him to lead workshops for their communities). In North America Circulation and Advertising there are few who are not in a position to simplifY their lives. Nagendran Gulendran (Marketing and Advertising Manager}, Nicole Hackel (Circulation Assistant) I'm also something of a pack rat, always sure that there's another good use for that Administration scrap of fabric that's just too attractive to throw away, or those jars we're sure to need Marianne De Lange (Office Manager), for storing something (you get the idea). What seems to be perennially in short supply Pamela Nelson (Development Assistant), Ruth Peterson, Robert Sutton (Volunteers), is the time to piece a quilt from the fabric or to fill the jars with homemade pickles to Tom McPeak (Accounting Services) give away. Over the years I've had fair-to-middling success with personal simplicity.
