31 days of Living YOUR Life with purpose.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams!

Live the life you've imagined.

As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.

Henry David Thoreau

Yay, your here!!!

You found my little space to share my personal story of living my life with purpose.

i hope you enjoy this read and please stay with me past this first post where i start to share the purposeful stuff.

I cannot tell you how much I love the simple phrase, "Live the life you've imagined."

This quote along with the love of my saviour Jesus Christ is what has fueled much of the way I along with my hubby have decided to raise our children, operate our household

and just basically live our lives.

Growing up I was the oldest of four children.

I have three little brothers and we are all pretty far apart in age.

I love my relationships with my brothers, but we defiantly went through some obstacles growing up.

My parents were gone a lot. My dad usually worked out of town and my mom had a forty five minute commute. There was a lot of responsibility placed on my shoulders.

I spent most of my spare time watching my youngest brothers instead of being a teenager.

This ultimately led to a lot of resentment towards my parents.

I moved out as soon as I was through with high school and the following year married my best friend.

That was ten years ago.

Since then I feel like I have changed so much.

During this 31 day writing challenge I wanted to explore and share how this quote Mr. Thoreau changed my outlook on life.

While writing these posts I will bounce between the present and my past.

Let's live OUR lives.

ON PURPOSE.

Day 2: i wasn't living my life

Day 3: he got a win

Day 4: they can't just stay little
