Happy New Year friends! I hope everyone had a great holiday. Once again, I have chosen a word to help define and drive my year. In 2014, I chose Simplify and it truly did make a difference. I am still constantly striving to simplify, simplify, simplify. “How can I do this easier?” is a common question in my mind along with, “Am I over-complicating this?” I have a tendency to make things more difficult than they need to be. Having simplify as my word for 2014 really helped me break away from that. I’m going to continue to strive for simplicity – it’s one of the goals of my blog after all – but with a new year, comes a new word. For 2015, I’ve chosen Act. I’m hoping it will help remind me to act frugally, generously, kindly and with the community in mind. I’m still fleshing it…

I know that I’ve mentioned this before but now that I’m healthy again, I have this deep desire for things to be as simple and easy as possible.…
