  • Budget Your Money: Think Twice Before Buying Your Coffee
    Budgeting, frappuccinos, and your bank account. These three things are harmonious when in order, but can cause disorder when out of line. What if there was a way to find the money to travel more or buy the house you've always wanted?

  • Minimalist Living for Every Day
    Minimalist living can help you live a more meaningful life with less. Less of the distractions that keep you away from what is truly important. Even good things can be a distraction if they don't add value to your life. Your smartphone is a very useful device, but it could be distracting you from writing an article, composing a song, or starting to read a book.
    Set yourself up for success by intentionally choosing the things that you allow into your life. Simple living helps you to go back to the basics of what is valuable and helps you remove the excess. As Socrates once said, "The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less."

  • Finding Beauty in a Fast-Paced Culture
    Does beauty still matter in our modern culture? We seem to have less time than ever to appreciate the beauty around us. I once read a book called, “Leisure the Basis of Culture.” If the title is true, how can we add leisure into our life filled with noise and busyness to live a more fulfilling life?
