What happens when your daily roles and your purpose in life rub up against each other a little more than you’d like?
Well, you take the summer off to think, and then write a novel of a blog post documenting your journey!

I recently stumbled across a piece of scratch paper I had used to write various simple living goals more than 10 years ago.
Interestingly enough, most of those goals are now a reality for me and my family… thanks in part to a lot of hard work, many sacrifices along the way, AND the fact that I actually WROTE them down! Read my story (and snag your FREE goal-setting printable!)
