"What wouldst thou have of life? Pay the price and take it."

Introduction: Welcome to my personal distillation.


Well, here goes. I'm officially joining the "bloggers", and starting my own on-line journal.

I'll start with my stats:

Mother of 4
Aspiring vegan
Lover of (most) things British
Seeker of truth
Pursuer of happiness


New Year's Day will be a big day for me this year. It is the day I embark upon my journey to the Simple Life.

In anticipation of this, I have become a critical observer of my own life. I have begun to examine what I value, what I "possess", what goals I have set, who (and what!) I have chosen to share my life. All of this is done with a view toward eliminating any drain on my time, energy, resources that does not merit inclusion. (I have also made a list of KEEPERS - things and people that will definately continue to share my sphere.)

Essentially, I am on a journey to eliminate the incidental and unnecessary from my life, to distill to the essence of my Self, so that my life becomes an experience, rather than a chore.

Please come along for the ride!
