Insights from Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort of Joy
“Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives.”
Living well is mostly about noticing things. It sounds simple until you realize how much you overlook every day.
“If you are not grateful for what you have, you will never be happy.”
Gratitude works like a magnet. Writing down five things each night creates a shift in how the next day feels.
Beauty is actually a basic human need. Creating a small pocket of order at home can change your entire mood.
“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be.”
Most of us have a deeply buried authentic self. We lose her under expectations and busy schedules.
