“If you are willing to take a step toward simplicity [things will get worse before they get better]. Sure, take on a garage, drawer or other black hole for starters, but the real work of simplicity lies when you open the doors of your interior world and start pulling everything out and holding it up to God’s discernment and love. You must ask yourself and God what stays, what goes, and what, if anything, needs to be added.”
Mindy Caliguire in Simplicity (Downers Grove: IVP, 2008) 8.
