Goodreads asked Rita Wilkins:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Rita Wilkins Inspired by a trip to a third world country, where I experienced people who have almost nothing but they were happy. When I returned home nothing looked the same to me, I chose to radically downsize from my 5,000 square foot home to my 867 square foot apartment in Philadelphia. I gave away 95% of my possessions to people who needed it or wanted it. I am now living on 5% of what I once owned and I've never been happier.

When I downsized I realized I had more time, more money, and freedom to pursue what matters most to me. After sharing my TEDx talk, "Downsize Your Life: Why Less Is More" I realized the importance of continuing to share my message: living abundantly with less.
