There’s something about the breakneck speed of modern-day technological advancements coupled with the generally chaotic state of the world that makes one yearn for a simpler, more old-fashioned way of life. Jill Winger, a Wyoming homesteader, has found that life is better when you turn to the lost arts of the past and live life at a slower pace.
Her new book, “Old-Fashioned on Purpose: Cultivating a Slower, More Joyful Life,” teaches readers about skills and arts that used to be passed down from generation to generation and the benefits of rediscovering the wisdom of the past.
