I am in the process ( and it will take a while) of de-cluttering my home, my schedule and my head space! All this, in an effort to stop my possessions from owning me instead of me owning my possessions, as well as creating a more intentional, peaceful and joyful way of living.
I have been listening to the unQuiet.life podcast and reading various blogs and books about simplifying your life and learning how to have a quiet inner life in our loud and busy world. Check out the new section on my Resources Page for more "RESOURCES FOR CREATING A QUIET INNER LIFE & CREATING MARGIN IN YOUR LIFE"
Also, here is a link to some great short videos of Shauna Niequist talking about her book "Bread & Wine" (which I have bought and have not had a chance to read yet, but I am dying to read along with several other books I have bought recently!) Have a look at the short video called "Into the Mess" and I know you will feel as encouraged as I am by her message.

Great direction you're going in, Leigh Ann! I enjoyed reading your new resource list. I am currently reading the book on solitude by Ruth Haley Barton and it is excellent!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! I hope to add more resources to the list as I find them. I read Ruth Haley Barton's book a couple of years ago and I plan to read it again this coming year. Good stuff! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
