Comments: sunday ramblings...

i'm not entirely sure how i ended up here.

i've linked from one lovely space to another this morning...
in search of something, i suppose...
and found your honest words and your beautiful blog...
that made me want to stay and visit for a little while longer.

i hope that's okay.

i read your words and say to myself,
"me too."

the simplicity and honesty with which you express is truly inspiring....

you are a beauty*

More ramblings from Sunday:
good to meet you stefanie...laura here.
Am just finishing Eat~Pray~Love. I feel that it was written for me at this time of my life. Glad to see you enjoyed it as well. It's amazing to me how these things find their way into our hands at just the right moment, isn't it?
I understand the urge to simplify as well. I fall into the consumerist trap for a while... then I look around me and wonder how much clearer my thoughts would be if most of it weren't there. I am trying to balance the neccesity of a thing with my own worthiness to have it if I wish. I felt guilty for a long time about purchasing things just because I wanted them. Now I feel that it's not about guilt it's about intentionally creating the life that I wish to have. Does this item fit in with the life that I wish to have or is it just a nice thing?
I am still working on the whole idea... My favorite book on the subject of simplicity is 'The Simple Living Guide' by Janet Luhrs. You might like it as well. I think it's great especially after eat-pray-love as they both have a tone of creating the life that you want intentionally, by using your inner compass and not by outside influences.
