The Peace(full) Little Author
With a passion for reading and writing that stems from childhood, I'm excited for my first foray into the blogosphere!
The idea behind My Peace(full) Little Life is to focus on the struggles so many of us face; specifically, the all important life balance. With so many things pulling us in so many directions, how do we stay grounded and keep our 'happy' tanks full? How do we take care of others while still focusing on ourselves? I believe the answer lies in doing good. Spreading kindness. Finding small ways to put a smile on someone else's face. What better way to make yourself feel good than making someone else feel good? |
My life blog is intended as a humorous and heartwarming look at life-- a self-focused blog, if you will. I hope that you can, in some way, relate to these tales. Personally, I find that recalling things that at one time seemed so significant, I am often reminded that life is all about perspective. Rather than sweating the small stuff, I feel more balanced when I pull back and look at the bigger picture. How can I learn from this experience? How can I use it to make me a better, more selfless person?
To that end, my 'balance' blog highlights worthy people, events and causes. So often, we get caught up in our own lives and forget the potential we have to change others' lives for the better. This page suggests way you can donate your time (and, occasionally, money) to do good. Looking for some free karma? You've come to the right place!
(Sidenote: Do you know of a person, event or organization worthy of focusing on? Let me know!)
My hobbies range from reading, travel, yoga and hiking to all things pink, Disney World, Syracuse University basketball, cat videos and cheesy reality TV (Keeping Up With the Kardashians or Big Brother, anyone?).
Originally from upstate New York, after many years in Washington, DC, I currently reside back in CNY with my husband, Alex.
