Simplicity At Last

26 July 2010

I’ve been searching for the perfect remedy for clutter, a balance in work & parenthood, and the answer for how God works in my life.

Proverbs 31: 17b Her arms are strong for her tasks. As most of you know, I am over 2/3s the way through a 90 day exercise program. I wrote about why in a previous post. My blog, furniture projects and TV watching have all taken a bit of a backseat to my fitness routine. [...]

Took the Long Way Home Driving with the windows down In thoughtful daydream Summer sunset in my mirror Chasing long gone memories Took the long way home Wind whipping around my hair Cool speed of evening’s first call Pink and Gold and Blue Happy freedom in my heart Love, Jess

What a time of year for me to pick for sorting out insurance paperwork, photos and schedules!? What was I thinking? I’m committed to my cause, but if I didn’t take a minute to stop and smell the flowers, I’d have to be committed. Love, Jess

Proverbs 31:27 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Gaining control over the “affairs of my household” seems a bit daunting. Exciting, but daunting. Have I said this before? Goals, organization, schedules, files, wills, finances, photos, cleaning, hospitality, the whole nine yards. Inspired by Just [...]

Proverbs 31:18 18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. I traded my pie plate pedestal… …for a friend’s pink pennant banner! I’d say it was a win-win situation. Wouldn’t you? I will be focusing more on “the affairs” of my household, now that the Junk [...]

Bliss = an hour in the my “studio” with super glue, paint and my new paper cutter. Dreaming up ideas for respurposing discarded items is a lot of fun. I had a dream last night that Leonardo DiCaprio was yelling at me for cluttering up the garage. So. Wierd. I guess, if just plain old [...]
