Taking care of yourself is challenging! Obvious and endless efforts to eat well and exercise are vital. We strive for mental health: positive self-talk, time for reflection, and challenging our minds to grow in knowledge and understanding. We want the perfect amount of sleep, water intake, and stress (non-existent). We want to feel a sense of purpose, connect with our creator, and maintain healthy relationships with others. These efforts aren't destinations we will one day arrive at. You'll never reach the finish line of perfect love and care for yourself and others. These efforts are part of your never-ending journey! They all matter and will always matter. Choosing what to focus on is the challenge. Where do you start? Start small! My decision to start using Bambu Earth is one small change I made to simplify. I have let go of all other products and decided to support one company who makes me feel cared for. Our skin is the largest organ in our body and I haven't been taking care of mine. I have been lured by various well-marketed and name-brand products that cost a fortune, irritate my skin, and have a long list of ingredients I can't pronounce. I have failed to moisturize, apply sunscreen, or clean & exfoliate as recommended. Often I recognize a need for change but I'm not sure what to do or how to do it. Not this time! I feel fortunate to have found a simple solution to this long-ignored problem in my life. What do I love about Bambu Earth?
Bambu Earth has provided a product that benefits my skin AND strengthens my spiritual health. I made a laminated printout of the verses for each product to keep in my bathroom. I recite each verse as I am using the product. This means, for five minutes twice a day I'm connecting with God, connecting with nature (its ingredients), and caring for my skin. Below are the products I use, their ingredients, and the Bible verses. Curious about whether I'm getting a kickback from Bambu Earth? I'm not! This is one simple start I've implemented to launch my Search For Simplicity in 2023. Activated charcoal essential oil

Where will you make a simple start?If you caught my very first post, "Treat Yourself To A Simplified Life This New Year", you would know I quoted Bruce Lee. Bruce said, "It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials."
I know you don't need me to tell you that parabens, sulfates, alcohols, or unnatural fragrances are not essential. Why do we keep using what we know isn't good for us? I hope you don't need me to tell you that aging is natural and beautiful. Yes, I mourn my youth. But healthy eating and exercise will benefit me more than the right chemical recipe. Please, take the time to create a list of all the ways you can start simplifying this year. Then, choose something to take action on. One simple start and then build from there. Bambu Earth was my simple start to the new year. What will yours be?

AuthorLife is complicated! Complexities are inescapable. Sadly, we make it harder on ourselves than it has to be. We are our own worst enemies. I am a nonprofit Founder & CEO, a mother, wife, avid volunteer, and so much more. I am a visionary, creative expert, and I LOVE learning. I strive for perfection that is non-existent, want to be all things for all people (which is impossible) and carry peace with me wherever I go. This, my friends, is exhausting! Aside from the heightened complications I provide myself, endless choices, opportunities, and change heighten the complexity around me. My Search for Simplicity in 2023 is an authentic pursuit of three specific criteria: my relationship with God, my relationship with myself, and my impact on this world. This blog will be a conduit for me to share my personal journey and the tools & resources I build to support it. I invite you to take part in this journey with me. To access all our tools and resources as they are developed, follow our Facebook Page. Alternatively, you can pop on the site week-to-week for new content. Finally, I am not in this space alone. If you are ready to simplify your life as well, let's connect! ArchivesCategories
