A publication by Slow Living enthusiast
Welcome!
A Simple Living Journal explores what it means to live in a slow and simple way inspired by the natural everchanging seasons. This is a gentle space for all of you who want to embrace a simpler way of living whilst exploring the seasons changes.
I’m Debbie. I have been writing on Substack since September 2023. A Simple Living Journal is now a community of over 300 like minded kindred spirits and there are more than 40 publications in the archive for you to read at your leisure.
Who I am in the world?
I live in a small village in Leicestershire in the East Midlands, England. I am wife to my husband Anthony and cat mum to seven year old Thomas.
With big dreams of living a simpler, slower way of life, I write here on Substack alongside working part time as a data analyst. I have a quiet ambition to move away from the corporate world and immerse myself in a creator’s life.
