Hi everyone! I had found this forum years ago when I lived in NC, and it was such a helpful resource then. (I'm pretty sure I mostly lurked back then-shy at times.) Recently I began wondering about this forum, and am delighted to see that it is still active. I've been attempting to live simply, but have much more to learn. Excited to discover new ideas from all of you, and hope to share whatever I can that may be helpful to someone.
