Beauty in the Simple

It doesn't take much to make me smile and find contentment.

Sometimes it's an amazing view on a hike...

sometimes it's a taste of local wine...

sometimes it's a hug from my daughter...

This week it was some cuttings from a friend's garden.

Now the beauty and scent of lilacs fill my home and heart.

I didn't set out to make May a month of simplifying, but everything is pointing me in that direction.

I need to find focus again, and to do that I need to clear some clutter.

Physical clutter and mental clutter.

Here are some great links I've come across to help me on the journey and inspire me.

I printed this out and did this with my girls this morning ~ they LOVED it!

As I clear out the clutter and search for focus, my prayer is that God will be at the center.

What are you doing to simplify?
