A Brilliant Frugal Life

Here we begin the journey together, dear reader:) You and I are embarking upon the journey of a beautiful, meaningful . . . . . . . yes, downright brilliant, frugal life! The world likes to tell us that the road to happiness and fulfillment can be found in acquiring something, (whether that be beauty, power,  prestige . . . or material good that's just beyond our fingertips) and that's the thing that will help us arrive.

Well, you and I both know THAT idea of satisfaction and contentment is filled with empty promises driven by those who seek to profit or build themselves up at the expense of others.

No, you and I are different. We seek to build a life upon the things that matter and moments/memories to savor. Thus, we embark upon this journey of life with intentional living and attention to the choices made as we are transformed into the one we will become.

In my life, I desire to live savoring God's blessings with a humble, thankful heart.

So, hear we go! Let's get ready for the rich wonder and endless gifts found as we look afresh at the life we've been given.

Off to you, dear reader! What nuggets of richness are you thankful for today? What is one simple idea you have to get off the rat wheel and begin really living?

Me? I'm headed off to do a little sewing:)
