I believe in living simple. Not the kind that is rooted in minimalism or the notion of giving away everything you own. No, the simple life I strive for is one rooted in intention. It's rooted in the soul. One of dinner table gatherings and bedtime stories, of family traditions, simple summer adventures, and front porch chats. One that allows roots to take deeper hold and for hearts to feel at peace. In a society that is constantly telling us to want more, have more, and do more, I find myself yearning for far less. It’s a craving for contentment and connection amongst the commotion and constant demands. I believe in the power and freedom that comes when we are willing to ’frequently and ruthlessly' edit our lives - to truly design the life we live and not just settle for it by default. To intentionally curate and purposefully cultivate the home we create to the work that we do. It is through this honest effort that one can build a refuge from the overwhelming noise of today. Where a harmonious clarity is found - one that quenches the thirst of an old soul in a modern day world. One that allows us to know without a doubt what is and what is not for us. A clarity that allows us to make choices and decisions that align with our values. Where we turn away from the hurried pace and excessive consumption and instead turn inward. To give ourselves the quiet space to develop our own personal style, unfettered by trends. To establish a home that elevates our everyday, where we can melt into the comfort it contains. And to truly move to the beat of our own internal rhythm. When we are able to go deeper and not wider, do less and not more, only then will we experience the quiet and honest luxury found in simplicity. And in the chaos of today's modern world, I cannot think of anything more wonderful or beautiful than that.
