Simplifying One Layer at a Time

Hey There! I'm over here today browsing for last year's post on gift baskets. I couldn't find it at our sister blog, Abundance so I came over here to look. My sis-in-love told me she loved my ideas from last year so I had to check them out and remind myself:) Maybe I'll get some ideas - again. I'm still looking for that crazy post. Guess this is why so many bloggers use labels. Now I know.

So many of us need beautification in our lives. Not only our bodies but our homes, and outdoor spaces as well. Beauty around us calls to that which God has divinely placed in us and draws it out. One of the least expensive and easiest ways to bring beauty to our surroundings is through a process known as simplification.

Simplying our lives is a process similar to peeling an onion. It happens one layer at a time. Upon beginning, we often discover that there are varying layers of "clutter" in our lives. The deeper we allow our lives to be pentrated by simplification, the deeper true living becomes. Bit by bit treasures of real value shine through. Often, these riches are hiding in the most unexpected places.

We at A Mother's Rewards and  Abundance began simplifying many years ago, long before A Mother's Rewards, Living Large on Less or Abundance were formed. It is an ongoing decision that has somehow morphed into an active lifestyle. After over two years of sharing and caring here on the blog, another layer of our onion is being peeled away. A Mother's Rewards and Abundance blogs will no longer be posted to. The blogs will remain open, and all previously posted articles will remain accessible. However, as far as we currently know, no new postings will be published.

Our sincerest and most heartfelt appreciation goes out to each and every reader. We can't thank you enough for all of the kindness and support you have bestowed upon us. It has been an honor to blog; an honor we don't take lightly. That people would spend precious moments of their days visiting us here at first A Mother's Rewards, then Living Large on Less and later Abundance, has been a precious gift to us; one we don't take for granted. Thank You, dear friends. You have given us of your time, and we offer our thanks to you. As these, our final words come to you, know that you are being squeezed tight in a hug of loving thanks. It has been so much fun visiting with you. Now, we take our leave. " 'Til We Meet Again" Blessed Mama and Not of This World
