I believe:
In God.
In myself.
In my husband.
In my children.
I believe beauty is found in silence, in small things.
I beleive beauty is all around.
I believe beauty is almost always ignored.
I believe:
In our pursuit of perfection, money, and advancement, we have lost some of the most valuable things in life.
I believe those things are worth finding again.
I am:
A woman.
A daughter.
A wife.
A mother.
A writer.
A photographer.
A friend.
I am:
Simple.
Unique.
Determined.
Individual.
Wise.
My mother tells me I should write a book about the way we live. She says I have reasons behind my choices that she has never heard before.
She says I inspire her, but she is what inspired me. It is my desire to inspire those outside of our Simple Kingdom. It is my desire to draw them in, to have them understand why I make the choices I do, and to maybe inspire them towards examining their own choices more closely.
I named this blog Simple Kingdom because I find the richest living happens when you strip things away.
My Kingdom consists of an old brick house in a Midwest city, a husband that embraces me for all that I am, a son hungry to learn and to live, a daughter full of love & sweetness, and two cats.
It seems while the people around us are pursuing bigger and better, we are pursuing less. Less time in the car, less things to care for, less spending, less shopping, less TV time, less computer time, less gadgets, less noise.
It is my goal to run this blog mostly anonymously, in a pursuit for honesty and openness. While I have always been a simple person, some health concerns were what pushed me towards living simple in more extreme ways.
These things will all be discussed further in future posts.
For now, thank you for reading, and welcome to my Simple Kingdom.
