Simple Abundance



I an currently reading a book of essays written by women about how my daily life can be an expression of my authentic self.  The principles we already know about simplifying and being content but learning to be creative again with the life i am living now.

So I thought i would include inspiration from it now and again.

Life is not a dress rehearsal

Do we save the pretty china for when company come, or rarely dress up when you are home alone, if we are not playing to an audience does it really matter. Are we like a actress just going through the motions in order to conserve her creative energies till opening night.  We hold back!


It does take more effort to set a inviting table, but it enhances our enjoyment of eating.  We all feel better when we fix our hair or do our make up, but more important we act different.  Every actress knows the magic power of props, and costumes to create special moods onstage and off.

None of us can expect to preform every minute of our lives, but a lot of us might tap into that amazing feeling, excitement, moments of pure joy of real life more frequently if we cast ourselves as the leading lady in our own lives.
