(laa-gom) adj. Swedish
Lagom describes the Swedish outlook on life of
good-enough. It is a state of living that appreciates
moderation, equality, and finding balance in belongings,
in food and drink, and between laughter and sadness.
To embrace Lagom is to seek adequate food, shelter
and clothing for yourself and for others.
Lagom anticipates satiation when others starve
at a buffet. A sustainable community requires
finding just the right measure between
extremes for everyone. Experience a space between
too much and too little, where you nurture your
environment and your environment nurtures you.
The Lagom
t-shirt is available in Sky Blue, unisex and women's fit t-shirts, printed
on 100% organic cotton, Fair Trade t-shirts.
We came
across these two great books to read to your young children about having
just
enough:
Just enough and not too much. By Kaethe Zemach. "Anyone young or old who feels
a little overwhelmed by their stuff needs only one more thing: this book."
Marvin Wanted MORE! By Joseph Theobald. "An exuberant story that shows how it
is possible to take some self-improvement just a little too far."
