living simply has changed my life

and I've only *just* figured it out

At the moment I crave the stillness of the evening when I can sit and gaze exhaustedly at the tree. Every day is full and excitement is bubbling over in big emotions for little people who are counting down the sleeps. They are giddy and glowing as they dance under fairy lights, buoyed by too much sugar, totally enamoured by the magic of it all.

This is the season of opposites: amongst the exhaustion and excitement we anticipate and reflect; preparing for what’s to come and thinking about the year that’s been. No wonder we’re emotional.

You may be running through the list of things you still need to do or buy, and in this season of excess you will likely be wondering: what is enough?

As you mull and question, you may also have moments of clarity that affirm your life choices; key experiences that glow amongst all the mediocre stuff.

I had one of these recently and I know with absolutely certainty that for years to come, I’ll reflect on what it felt like. Call it a fork in the road if you like, or creating space and trusting that something else will follow. What I do know is that it was the end but also, a beautiful new beginning.
