Bio

I think all of us at some time have questioned what will make us happy in life. What will bring us peace, serenity, what will satisfy us. I know I have. What brings serenity to our lives is possibly different for all of us. But I have found mine, mine seems so simple, it is one I believe we find resonates in the happy faces of those who smile yet have so little, and that is what I wish to share. I have led a busy life, with so many passions, so many dreams. I have filled my life to the brim with treasured possessions, friendships, career experiences, goals, yet while I seem to thrive on this busyness, when I am doing so I do not find my serenity. Instead I find that I lie awake at night, anxiety creeps in, stress creeps up, and I am motivated for that bit more… just that bit more will make me happy, or so I believe at the time. Recently through many events that have happened in my life, events that have ripped my heart out and forced me to stop and take a breath, I have found my way to the one thing that I have realised is my Serenity. That is – Simple. Simple! While I was busy, I didn’t have much time. A holiday was a quick drive over to the In Law’s so they could see their grand children, or a rushed interstate hotel stay usually with a bit of work thrown in to ‘make the time worth it’. But now that my life has changed by what could be considered loss, I have found my Simple Serenity. Now I have time to go away on holiday and just be, just for the sake of it. It is when I am away at our Caravan with limited possessions, no big motivations driving me except to sit back, enjoy my children, and be satisfied to involve myself with whoever happens to be around me, that I am glowing with Serenity. And with this new realisation, this beautiful feeling of Serenity, I am carefully and slowly bringing my Simple is Serenity lifestyle into my every day modern life. I realise I have a family including children and a husband, who I can not simply throw into a Caravan to see out their days. I have to bring my serenity into my existing suburban home and lifestyle. Piece by piece, I am working on combining a modern suburban life, with the Simplicity that brings me my Serenity. Will you join me?
