Not So Big NEWSFLASH

March 2013
Sarah's Spring Speaking Schedule

 

Dear Friends,   

 

Sarah Susanka With the economy picking up, there's a sudden resurgence of interest in building and remodeling. In fact it seems that the "Not So Big" approach to design and living was made for this moment.  There's always been a core group of people looking for better rather than bigger strategies for remodeling or building from scratch, but today that desire has gone mainstream.   

 

Since I am often asked to let people know when I'm coming to their area to give a presentation, I'm sending this newsflash with my speaking schedule for the coming months. If you live in an area where I'll be visiting, I would love to see you at the event.

For future reference, you can also track my speaking schedule on the Not So Big House Events page, the Not So Big Life Events page, and my Facebook Events page.    

 

If you are part of an organization or community that is interested in having me as a speaker, just fill out and submit the Appearance Inquiry Form and we'll be in touch shortly.  And if you know of residents of the areas where I'm speaking who might be interested in my talks, please pass this newsflash along. 

Thanks so much. 

Sarah

English village
       
"We should look more closely at ourselves, at how we want to live, at what inspires us, and at what our planet needs to return to balance.  If we can start reflecting these values in our houses, we will make a small but significant step in helping humanity achieve the extraordinary spirit that all are born with."
