How it All Began...

The Family.

Last year my husband and I both celebrated our 40th birthdays.  It was a monumental birthday and made both of us think…what is really important in life. Up until now, it had been working hard to have a home, cars, etc. but after turning 40 something changed.  

We both realized that happiness actually doesn’t come from things.  Once you obtain the thing you have been working so hard for, you actually feel empty inside, and so you set your sights on something new to achieve and the cycle continues.  We both spent a lot of time searching what really makes us happy and we came down to a few things- family, friends, experiences and helping others.  

Yes, we still need to earn a living to afford the basic things in life but perhaps spending more time together as a family, experiencing new things, would be much more fulfilling than working for material objects.  And so, I start this blog.  To share with you my experiences, how I changed the way I looked at life.
