The Art of Living Beautifully

The Art of Living Beautifully is a term I apply to building a beautiful life and personal culture. For me, this consists of delving into the elements of life that not only bring me joy, but also help me feel the most like “me.” Here on this blog, I share my endeavors to live a present, tangible life, void of autopilot as I pursue my various roles, hobbies, and vocations in a manor beneficial to me and my loved ones while also aligning my thoughts and actions with my Lord.

Have you ever given thought toyour personal culture; the way in which you live? The routines and rituals you complete each day and the mindset you have when completing them? What brings you joy? What gives you peace? Groundedness?A grateful heart? Satisfaction?

Is there actually an art to living beautifully? Yes, and it’s simple. Just be intentional. Make the decision. And keep your eyes on the Father.

It has become the framework in which I try to build my life, and the reason behind my passion to live cleanly, simply, creatively, in harmony with nature, and in support of small businesses.
