  In his book, Rasmus Rasmussen provides a full account of the Viking's [1893] journey from Norway to Chicago from a crew-member's point of view. The trip was not without peril and hardship. Their accommodations were crude. The weather, at times, threatened their very lives. Most cities rolled out the red carpet to meet them, but one rolled out the paddy wagon. All together, an informative journal and a delightful read, and one that compels reflection and awe of the exploits of our Viking ancestors. - Paul A. Anderson, Honorary Norwegian Consul General 
  Rasmussen's diary recounts the historic journey made by twelve courageous seamen aboard Viking and includes his personal experiences during and after the Fair [1893 Chicago World's Fair]. Viking is the first Viking ship to sail in nearly 1,000 years, showing the world that Leif Erikson could have reached the New World almost 500 years before Columbus. 
  The Addendum continues the story of Viking and brings the reader up to date on the most recent preservation accomplishments. - Friends of the Viking Ship, NFP

  Simplicity in Living - The...

  Simplicity is often misunderstood as a lack of sophistication or depth. In truth, simplicity is about intentionality, clarity, and focus. It's not about stripping life down to the barest essentials but about discerning what truly matters and eliminating distractions. The art of simplifying is a practice that allows us to shift our energy from the constant demands of modern life to what brings us true fulfillment. 
  The journey toward simplification begins with the recognition that not everything in our lives needs to be kept or held onto. We live in an age of excess—excess information, excess material possessions, and excess commitments—that often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. When we declutter our lives, we free up space for what truly matters: deeper connections, meaningful work, and moments of peace. By embracing simplicity, we allow ourselves to be more present and engaged in each aspect of our daily lives. 
  In simplifying, we are also clearing the mental space necessary to make conscious choices. This process begins with letting go of the unnecessary, which can take many forms. This might involve removing items from your physical space, choosing to disconnect from digital distractions, or reevaluating relationships and commitments that no longer align with your values. The key to simplification is not to eliminate everything but to approach each area of life with discernment, asking whether it serves a purpose or brings joy.
