How It All
Started
Hi, my name is Valerie Garner.
This site is a natural outflow of a journey I find myself on at
this stage of life; I invite you to join me. I have found
myself totally burnt out from a good paying corporate job, along
with the heavy hours that goes along with it. Yet, I saw
no stopping or slowing down anywhere on the horizon. I was
feeling as though my schedule dictated my life, instead of me
dictating my schedule. It was like time was going faster and
the demands and to-do lists were growing at an equally steady
pace. I felt as though life was happening to me and I had no
choices anymore, but what I was craving was a sense of deep
rest, comfort and peace. A slowing down to smell the
roses, so to speak.
Something’s
got to give here; I knew I needed to make some changes before
something very serious happened. I knew I didn’t want to live
like this and I needed to take better care of myself. I have
beautiful grandchildren (and children of course) I long to
spend lots of time with, to offer to them a break from the
frenzy of life when at our house, and to be a good example to
them in their lives.
I was at a
major crossroads in life, wondering, “what do I really want?”
How do I want to live? How does reality fit into the picture,
after all, the bills still go on and need to be paid?
This website
is a resource tool dedicated to finding articles, and ideas,
which may lead to a more comfortable life. I see people all
around me who also seem to feel this way and resonate with
similar desires to slow down and enjoy life more, with those
they love. When I say comfortable life, I don’t necessarily
mean wealthy, as I don’t think they mean one and the same.
Financial strain is a huge source of stress; therefore there are
lots of ideas on this site for possibly raising your income
level and/or reducing debt. Finances also have a strong tie to
how much time you have available and the resources to do the
things you want.
Hope you enjoy!
