Someone said to me one day you should write on this topic. The person that suggested the topic is when you talk to her so humble, lives a simple life. Mark you she is very well off but takes everything in stride. Believe me it’s not a front. She takes the belief that life must be simple, literally. If some more persons would take a leaf out of her book life would be better for them, they wouldn’t have that much drama in their lives.
How can you write on such a topic unless you are a simple person, with simple needs and taste. Thinking about it I think I am, for the most part. Fluff and exorbitant living has never been me. Living a simple life makes life so easy. Not saying you must live like Mother Theresa (had to clarify before some persons head did a 360) 😉. As I have said before I like nice things for sure, the creature comforts of life. However if you walk into my house there is minimal amount of furniture, (it would be less if it was up to my husband, but the kids and I like not sitting on the floor all the time 😂). This is not because we are mean to ourselves but because we don’t have to keep up with the Jones. Keep life simple. Thinking about it this keeps the family grounded.
Simplicity is not only about your living environment but your life over all. The more things you have and greedily pull to yourself, the more you have to maintain and the more stress. Stress is not a lovely thing. Believe me I would know. Been there done that, bought the T-shirt and lost it. 👊🏽. Drop stress and drama and embrace simplicity. Life will be better. After all life is for living.
Living you life is not about all the material stuff you can pull to yourself but the quality of life. Yes your environment should be comfortable but is opulence necessary? I want to know how you feel about that. Maybe it’s me. I prefer experiences and now it’s even more at the fore of my mind as my children are with me to live the experience. The “things” become just that things in the long run and you no longer see them, as they are the norm. How you live your life however makes those memories which never die.
Do you agree or disagree? Simplicity is best for living your life. Reach out to me via any medium. I want to know what you are thinking.
See you next Wednesday at 8:00 pm.

Yes. Yes. And Yes. It’s just that simple.
Simple
Simplicity in the way you live your life allows you more opportunities to manage the stresses that you didn’t create. Focusing more on your core priorities,rather than spreading yourself thin by acquiring ‘more’ than you need is one way of ensuring a ‘fuller’ life – less is more.
Less is more. It’s that simple.
Ok Andrea…here is my take…living simply means something different to each individual. Simple for you and I may not be the same for Oprah😁. For me simplicity is being so grateful for my blessings, I don’t even know the Jones😉
You are so right. Simplicity means different things for different people. As long as you understand life should be simple without drama then you are good.
Believe me you don’t want to know them either 😂
Nothing much to say on this one. Personally I love being simple.just plain old simple.
That’s what I’m talking about.
Agreed Andrea..and what comes to my mind while reading your article is the KISS principle..Keep It Simple Stupid. Often times when I am accessorizing I hear the voice of Ambassador Feliz..keep it simple and elegant…your blog helps to remind and reinforce our learnings. Thank you.
Simplicity makes sense. It not about living frugal as some persons think I’m saying but keeping life simple, without drama.
