The Thrill of the Climb

Rhonda

Today I'm posting some quotes that have made a huge impact on me and that go hand in hand with reaching the finish line of Camp NaNo (which was yesterday). Yes, I made my goal! It was a little "iffy" at times, but I did it. There's nothing as exhilarating as reaching the summit! :-)… Continue reading The Thrill of the Climb

Christmas Truths

Rhonda

I've found two short quotes that speak volumes about the Christmas season. Thought I would share. How many observe Christ’s birthday! How few, His precepts! ― Benjamin Franklin Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more! ―… Continue reading Christmas Truths

What is Minimalism–Really?

Rhonda

The past couple of years have brought with it a desire to live fully by minimizing not only my possessions, but other areas of my life as well. With that desire came the discovery of The Minimalists.

Timeout Tuesday

Rhonda

It's been a while since I've done a Timeout Tuesday, and with the beautiful scenery from my trip to the mountains last weekend, I figured today's the day.

I thought,… Continue reading Timeout Tuesday

Rhonda

Take a timeout from the busyness of life to step into the tranquility of nature. “Our life depends on the kind of thoughts we nurture.

Prioritizing Priorities

Rhonda

I've come to realize--again--that I'm not super-human and have conceded to the fact that I need to prioritize my life a bit. I'm confidant I'm not alone in that I tend to keep taking on more and more, often without realizing it, until life becomes a little bit of everything done somewhat well and nothing done well. There's… Continue reading Prioritizing Priorities

“Q” is for…

Rhonda

I love quotes! They contain so much wisdom, motivation and inspiration in so few words.  They prove that less is often better when it comes to words, and that those few words can pack a powerful punch. My ten favorite are: 10.)  “The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from… Continue reading “Q” is for…
