I previously had a blog entitled “Healthy Simplicity.” My husband and I both enjoyed researching how to stay healthy naturally, and the blog grew out of that interest.

It encompassed so much more than health though. Faith and family were big topics.

A little over two years ago my husband went to be with the Lord – ironically through cancer (something I never saw entering our healthy lifestyle).

I have not written on that blog for a long time. I just couldn’t face what my life used to be. Lately though I’ve wanted to get some of the ideas that are in my head out so I’ve been thinking and praying about blogging again.

I’ve renamed my blog to “Intentional Simplicity” because this is where I live my life now – intentionally keeping things simple as I learn to cope without my husband.

I think the name change is also fitting because I am no longer the person I was when I wrote for “Healthy Simplicity.”

I hope to keep a lot of the same features – recipes, crafts/sewing, encouragement. I want to be a blessing to others.

All the posts from my old blog have been transferred over. Please take a couple of minutes to see what there is, and thank you for stopping by. I look forward to getting to know you in the weeks and months ahead.
