Monday’s Motivational post, « At the Crosswalk of Life Optimization: Knowing When to Stop Tracking and Start Living – 8 Shifts to Make » explores how to find the balance of evolving and growing while also grounding us in the present moment so that we are fully living and enjoying the life we have. With all of the information, that we are fortunate to have at our fingertips, knowing what takes us off track even while trying to help us track our lives is key, and each of us will choose the path (or in Nelle’s case, the trail) that is best suited for living well the life that brings us to life.

In @lepapillongarden this morning and savoring the beauty of this Japanese Maple that was planted two years ago. It brings the autumn color late into the season and provides the "borrowed" decor landscape for one of the bedroom windows. It seems quite happy, which is a delight to witness.

Beginning last week, a survey has been extended to readers to share what they would most enjoy reading in the coming new year, 2027. Completely voluntary, readers have shared what they most enjoy, what they would like improved, tweaked or added. And if they were inspired to do so, they were invited to leave a review that would be shared on the Blog Review page - https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/blogreviews/ .

I want to thank everyone for all that they shared, and today, wanted to share this review as I find that readers describe best what The Simply Luxurious Life offers as they are the people who engage with the content each day over the years and can speak to the guiding ethos of what they find consistently. For your words, time and expression of appreciation, thank you.

Bonjour Friday! And hello from Bend, Oregon, where

Bonjour Friday! And hello from Bend, Oregon, where I call home with my pup Nelle. And yep, if it’s Friday, that means it is This & That Day on the blog (a weekly posting on TSLL.co since 2011!), and I’ve got a bundle of finds to share with you. Take a look at all that you will discover shared in the paragraph below (along with how this photo came to be because it was complete serendipity, and I am tickled beyond to have witnessed this maple tree’s beauty earlier this week) —

A new British film to get the holiday chuckle and good cheer started, two biopics about two well-known Hollywood names, a new British mystery series with a familar face at the helm, a new book about an artist so many know and love, clothing for autumn and winter style – both for dressing up and getting cozy and books to remind us about their power (and necessity of books and reading), classical musicians who teach us to harmonize in life even during difficult times, and still, so much more.
