The End of 100TC Online

06/15/2013

By Dave Bruno  |  @guynameddave

This will be my final 100 Thing Challenge post. There are a few things I would like to say as I wrap up the 100TC online.

Most important is: thank you! Never in all my life did I dream or could I have dreamed that a small personal simple living project would turn into a worldwide simple living movement. So many of you have been encouraging and inspirational. Truly, thank you.

When the 100 Thing Challenge started and even after it grew significantly, my intention was never to sustain the “100 Thing Challenge” indefinitely, even as my determination remains to continually resist excessive consumerism. For over a year now I have struggled with what to do with the 100 Thing Challenge. Maintain it? Take it to the next level? Turn it over to someone else? Or…? Through much thought, prayer, and consultation with family and friends, a clear next step has not developed. Increasingly I have been under the conviction it is time for me to move on. And so it is time to move on.

What this means is the 100 Thing Challenge website will no longer be maintained. Also, the 100 Thing Challenge Facebook will no longer be updated. This is an appropriate time for me to give special thanks to Sarah Chia, who has been a blessing to the 100 Thing Challenge community. Sarah, too, will be moving on from posts and status updates.

What this also means is I will be turning my energies toward new endeavors. I am going to use @guynameddave on Twitter and my blog guynameddave.com to continue yapping away online. That will be where I announce a new scheme, if a new scheme arises. I hear there is a high probability something is in the works ;-)

Please feel free to reach out, especially @guynameddave where I am most active for now. Thank you again for everything.

Stay simple,

Dave
