About My Work
I encourage women to look beyond external decluttering, focusing instead on identifying their true purpose and passions. I also offer practical ways to encourage internal, relational, spiritual, and environmental connection. Ultimately, my goal is to cut away the noise of information overload and stir the heart.
It’s time to move from striving to experiencing.
Have you pared down your wardrobe, taken minimalism challenges you found online, or organized your belongings into bins with beautiful labels? Do you still feel like there’s more fulfillment, peace, and internal harmony just out of reach?
You need a mindset shift – from how to declutter and organize to what’s beneath the surface.
If you’re looking for a “how to declutter” manual or motivation to clean out your closet, this book isn’t for you. But if you’ve decluttered your external environment and are ready to go deeper, this 40-day program will take you on the path of connection – to nature, others, spirituality, and yourself – that will guide you to discover that simplicity isn’t what you remove, it’s what you return to.
Connected simplicity awaits.
“From the cradle to the grave, in his needs as in his pleasures, in his conception of the world and of himself, the [wo]man of modern times struggles through a maze of endless complication.”
Though Charles Wagner penned these words over 125 years ago, they are truer today than ever before. Sharing his timeless observations, Suzanne Searcy Johnson infuses poetry and commentary into selections from Wagner’s book, The Simple Life, making this profound treasure accessible to today’s reader.
What if simplicity wasn’t about getting rid of things but rather making room for what nourishes your soul?
Simplicity Journal is a 30-day guided journaling experience designed for women seeking peace, clarity, and deeper connection in their everyday lives. Each daily prompt explores a meaningful theme—from gratitude and abundance to courage, play, and spiritual connection—helping you gently clear mental clutter and create space for intentional growth.
A sweet and delightful chapter book for young readers.

Cherished Clay is a collection of poetry that spans almost three decades of Suzanne Searcy Johnson’s life. It deals with topics such as injustice, love, loss, and recovery. This collection ultimately reflects her belief that beauty can come from disaster–as it has in her own life.
“Find me here
And spread out the
highway
Like a picnic
blanket
And let the breeze
remove
All those white
dashes
And give me a
blank page
To write on”
—From “Vision”
“So I left all There
On the verdant
Ground
And in the open
Sky
And walked
Unencumbered
To my bright
Destiny”
—From “Burdens”
“This is relationship
Not an erasure
Of the soul-searing hurt
But a walking through
Together”
—From “Sit”
Upcoming Book
What does it look like when a middle-aged woman takes a gap year? I decided to find out. My youngest just graduated from high school and is heading off to college, so I’m in my “Grown-Up Gap Year”. It’s more about growing than taking a break. I’m pushing my boundaries by moving into a tiny home and traveling. And I’m facing my fears around discomfort and financial insecurity.
Join my adventures exploring this new empty-nest phase. This year is about leaning into simplicity, loving intentionally, and living connected!
Vital Simplicity: 12 Weeks of Reflection and Growth
My passion is helping women recognize they are exactly who they are meant to be–in this very moment.
