Family is EVERYTHING!

People often ask me if I do evening yoga and when I was doing Sunday night classes they would ask about weekday evenings. I found Sundays difficult so I stopped and now my answer is... evenings and weekends are not an option. 

My family is everything to me and with my husband's busy schedule, it's up to me to be the primary care-giver of our child, our pets and our home. Family is first and I wouldn't trade it for the world!!

Innovating

Image
A business I started in 2002, which had grown in leaps and bounds since then, had a major change in the Summer of 2013. I downsized. Big time. I closed the doors to my beloved centre and didn't have a plan. I had no ideas.  The first few months were okay as I continued to teach yoga in local parks and sell holistic products but then came the cold and everything came to a screeching hault. It was awful. I was not at peace with it.  But, then I started reading a new book, which helped. The book is called, "The Greatness Guide"and one  of the things I read that helped me to feel better about my business situation was, " ...just keep innovating. Innovate at work. Innovate at home. Innovate in your relationships. Innovate in the way you run your life. Innovate in terms of the way you see the world. To become stagnant is to begin to die. Growth, evolution and reinvention sustain life."  I still had no ideas but then I read an affirmation that turned everything around ...

I just realized another favourite thing... or maybe it's just evolving again... Just now I was writing out a grocery list and feeling grateful that I didn't feel rushed, but right after I looked up at a clock that needed a new battery so changed it and cleaned it as well. Again, feeling grateful for not feeling rushed. I then decided that my nails needed trimmed, and while doing that thought of most times before now, I would leave it until before bed, also feeling kind of resentful that I delayed bedtime to squeeze it in. No more. So that's it. My new fav thing is that I have time for the little things that would once have been annoying but now I can feel present while I accomplish these things. Present and grateful that I have the time to be mindful.

Finding Inspiration in a Simple Life

Have you ever found yourself drawn to the idea of a simpler life? Do you follow minimalist creators on social media? Do you have a go-to source of inspiration? For me, the answer is a resounding yes. One of my favorite sources of inspiration is Farmhouse on Boone and, more recently, the Simple Farmhouse Life Podcast on YouTube. This family of ten manages multiple income streams while maintaining a slow, intentional lifestyle. While I may not aspire to cook everything from scratch—or cook much at all, if I'm being honest—I still find their way of life incredibly inspiring. There’s something calming about their values and the way they embrace simplicity. What truly resonates with me is their approach to living with less, even in a household with eight children. They set clear boundaries, even with toys—if an item doesn’t fit in a designated basket, it doesn’t stay. Simple, effective, and refreshing. Recently, I found myself searching for new inspiration.
