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.
“To find the universal elements enough;
to find the air and the water exhilarating;
to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter…
to be thrilled by the stars at night;
to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring —
these are some of the rewards of the simple life.”
— John Burroughs

Very inspired…I would also like to add freedom from debt to that list, as debt is a cruel mistress….even working towards freeing myself from debt has been very empowering…

This is my favorite quote. A friend gave me a little plack with this quote on it. I keep it in my kitchen right by the sink so I can see it while I do dishes. ~Tess

This quote is really appropriate for this time of year when beauty abounds. Love the white hearts. I have pink but now I want the white too :-) !
