About

Believe it or not but I didn’t go to school to be a professional simplicity blogger. I don’t think they had that major at my school anyway. So, needless to say that when I graduated in 2009 with a degree in secondary social studies education, I didn’t think my path would lead me here. Where is here, anyway?

Between the happy circumstance of not being able to find a full time teaching job and then realizing that my passion did not involve being a high school teacher, I somehow became a professional blogger. And coach. And teacher. And speaker. Basically, a guy who lives a simple life, runs a simple business, and tries to teach others to do the same. Really, it boggles my mind — I live a life of simplicity, write about it, and somehow I’m not starving and homeless. I like it.

If you’re interested in living a little bit simpler you’ve come to the right place. I write about that quite a bit, actually. I also write about living consciously; living in such a way that makes you fall asleep with a smile on your face. Who doesn’t want that at the end of the day?

I realize that you clicked on this link to learn about me and so far I’ve talked very little about myself. Besides telling you that I’m a 24 year-old guy living in Michigan, why don’t you just poke around the archives for a bit? I’m not shy about writing about myself and I think you’ll learn much more about me than you would by staying here. Or, if you want to get right to the source, you could contact me on Skype (my username is “samspurlin”) or over on Twitter (@samspurlin).

I’m just a guy that thinks the world would be a lot better if we all took some time to think about what it means to live a better life. And then, you know, actually doing something to make that a reality. It’s really pretty simple when it comes down to it, eh?

I’ve written two e-books that I’m very proud of. You can read more about them here. I also contribute regularly to ByBloggers.net, a great resource for bloggers. If you blog, you might want to check it out. I write at my personal blog and I used to write about teaching.
