Simplify your life…

“Simplify”  It’s a word we’ve incorporated into our lives recently.  Since leaving my corporate 13-year career in December, we have embarked on a new adventure, a healing, renewing, terrifying adventure.   Sell your home, change your lifestyle, simplify, get back to basics & LOVE your life.  Something we had longed for and prayed about for some time but seriously put off for way too long.  We are easing into a new way of life and so far, what I can tell is that letting go of the cash has opened our hearts wide open to the possibilities of our life, taught us how to really let go of what we know trusting for a greater life that looks more like Jesus’ will be done and less like the American dream.

As we venture out on our mini-adventures each day, we look for and find great ways to connect, have fun and love each other.  Our Storybook Tree, Peacock feathers for a $1, Dad’s lesson on blowing bubbles, my learning to cut Beck’s hair.  Going through a huge transition openly with your kids, means a lot of questions, communicating, fears, prayers and great times of deep connection.  There’s something about walking with uncertainty and having great peace; knowing you are broken and being truly free.  I wouldn’t change one thing.  I anticipate great things.  So far, cutting back has given us much more… Here’s a few shots of our latest adventures at our tree, peacock feathers and Ella’s BFF, Gigi.
