Being a self-proclaimed "Life Simplifier," I have resisted the urge to blog for quite some time as keeping up with a blog doesn't really fit into the idea of "Simple Living." However, recently I have experienced an abundance of "simple living inspiration" and feel a need to share it.
I, along with many of my clients, have gone through a personal transformation over the past few months. I believe this amazing shift is happening all over the world right now. I absolutely LOVE it! Finding and living their life purpose is something more people than ever before are experiencing. Simple and purposeful living is finally making a come back.
Remember the 80's? Big hair, big houses, big SUV's, big over-scheduled lives, and then came the 90's (and a lot more wealth). Big consumerism, big shopping malls, big work weeks, even bigger gas tanks, and the mic-mansions. While living our big complicated lives, many of us lost (or never found) our life's purpose, became out-of-touch, disconnected from our beautiful planet, from each other, and from spirituality. Yes, churches and religion got bigger too (mega churches started cropping up everywhere) but in my opinion, spirituality got lost.
The big "sugar high crash," came next (as I like to call it). This was marked by massive corporate corruption, the crash of the stock market and real estate, war, health care crises, and the awareness that we are quickly destroying our planet, to name just a few. As a result, many found themselves lost, upset, or even depressed.
As a result, we are now starting to get to the good stuff. Overcoming adversity requires personal growth and millions of people worldwide are choosing to transform themselves and their lives and they are becoming happier than ever!
People are downsizing their homes, simplifying their schedules, eliminating waste and choosing a life that is in alignment with their life purpose. I have clients that have left or lost big high paying jobs they hated, sold two thirds of their stuff, traded their over-sized home for a smaller one, downsized or eliminated their vehicles, and started businesses they love, providing services of value to people. Their lives are dramatically simpler - they get plenty of sleep, plenty of exercise, plenty of quality time with family and friends, and LOVE what they do for work. Do you think they miss their big house and big paycheck?
Simplifying people's homes, lives, and schedules, so they can get down to being truly happy and living their life purpose is what I absolutely LOVE to do. I started this blog to hopefully inspire those who are ready to transform their lives and experience happy, simple living.
Strive to make this your best year yet!
"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." ~Jim Burroughs - 16890
