A blog about finding balance in your life, connecting with who you are, and creating a lifestyle where you wake up each morning eagerly anticipating the day ahead.
“The most valuable things in life
are not measured in monetary terms.
The really important things are not houses and lands,
stocks and bonds, automobiles and real estate,
but friendships, trust, confidence, empathy, mercy, love and faith.”
–Bertrand Russell
The photos are my own. Some illustrate the post... others show our surroundings and the things we love about our version of simple living and voluntary simplicity. I welcome links to my blog or to any of my articles, but please do not copy my photos or content. —Shirley
