Time for simplicity can look like these grass stalks against green background

It’s Time For Simplicity

For the past few months, I realized it’s time in my life for simplicity and I took a nice long break from all that involved creating my passion projects.

Why?  Because the work behind creating and marketing my heartfelt projects became a grind.

When I retired early back in 2013…it was actually more like instantaneously quitting…I finally had the time to create what I wanted to create.  To create something meaningful to me.

Except…

Question Mark It’s Good to Become Comfortable with Uncertainty and Mystery

It’s Good to Become Comfortable with Uncertainty and Mystery

There’s an art to living with uncertainty and mystery. If you can learn to be open to not knowing all the answers then you’re on your way to an exciting life that’s constantly evolving with your growth, well-being, and purpose at heart. None of us has to be an expert at living life. Questions are an expected part of our existence. Some answers we’re ready for and some we’re not. The art is allowing for what’s best and trusting that whatever shows up in your life, is best. Some life experiences may not make sense at the time but everything happens for a reason. All we have to do is show up, open to allowing for rather than forcing. If you’re alive, you’re dancing, even if it feels you have two left feet.

Do You Know Your Purpose?

Do You Know Your Purpose?

Purpose teaches us just what we came here to learn and discover about ourselves. It’s teaching us as well as allowing us to share our talents and gifts.

Networking. Painful Lessons Learned.

Networking. Painful Lessons Learned.

The 60-second elevator speech and women’s networking luncheons are not everyone’s cup of tea. Ok, it’s not my cup of tea. But I learned to appreciate these women spending two hours connecting with each other to promote their business and help each other. Not my thing. I left my career to do what I’m doing now. Why waste even one moment doing something I don’t enjoy?

Adventure is Not Outside Man; It Is Within

“Adventure is not outside man; it is within”

For too long I lived a life in the way I thought others would approve. I moved to New York City and began my career in advertising. It didn’t take too long to realize that career would never fulfill me. And yet I stayed. Eventually transitioning to marketing and ending my career after being employed by several internet companies. While living in New York City felt like an adventure, my life still felt flat. I had to learn that true adventure, for me, comes from within. Now I’m pursuing my own dreams and ideas and acting on them to bring them to reality. That’s adventure to me. Taking vacations and traveling is nice but becoming more me, emotionally and spiritually, is my true adventure. Creating what I’m excited about, fulfills me more. That’s me setting off for parts unknown. And I don’t need a plane ticket.
