Welcome!
I'm Frugal Trenches (no, not my real name!) a lover of natural, simple and frugal living! I use this space and my camera to document a beautiful, purposeful, downshifted and abundant life! Life is not always simple (oh how I wish it was!) but it is always rich and I hope this space demonstrates beauty and joy!
If you have a question, feel free to leave it in the comments! I read and appreciate every comment and will reply to questions within the comment section, even if it takes a day or two (or three, but whose counting!).

I came across your blog due to reading another blog…you know how that goes…and I was reading about the reader that commented that you had only lost 1lb and so you should change the name. To the commentator I would have to say…Too Bad, if they don’t agree with what you are writing about then go somewhere else to get a reading fix. The purpose of writing is to either assist and share ideas or as therapy for yourself. There is no obligation to your journal other than to keep a record of your progress…Life is like a race. If you have run the race without falling down, without skinned knees, and are not out of breath…then the race never began. Keep up the chin and keep up the good work!
