HOW I LIVE TSLL (IG @thesimplyluxuriouslife)

When Shannon travels to Britain or France, social When Shannon travels to Britain or France, social media postings actually slow down and regular posting is on pause (except for the This & That post!). The reason for this is so that she(moi!) can enjoy fully the trip and all that is available to be experienced.

Nasturtiums. A flower that offers a wonderful remi Nasturtiums. A flower that offers a wonderful reminder of trusting what is possible even if at first it seems all but probable. These seeds harvested from my garden @lepapillongarden were shared at Thursday's book signing event (see second photo, captured by @mycutefurballs - thank you Leda!). 

The blossom hues symbolize something to remember: 🧡 Orange blossoms symbolize energy, warmth, and creativity; and the 💛
Yellow symbolizes merriment, joy, and lighthearted fun.

Mother Nature offers a constant reminder of what is possible if we are willing to continue through the four parts, the four sojourns, of creating and learning something new. Let my new book Savoring the Sojourn be your resource for inspiration, reassurance and information about how you absolutely can reach your 'Summer'. All we have to do is gather up our courage and trust our curiosity and inner compass. They are far wiser than we can comprehend as we begin our journey.
