Welcome! (Or A Call for Harmony)

Simply Harmony is a lifestyle blog for women who want to live their life harmoniously.  A lot of women I know have a strong desire to live a more peaceful, balanced, creative, healthy, and happy life. This desire is overheard while in the line at the grocery store, read while perusing status messages on Facebook, and it’s there in the multitude of tweets on Twitter.  This call for a simpler less harried, and more fulfilling life is in heart of the many women in our lives: our friends, our colleagues, our neighbors, our sisters, our aunts, our mothers – and if we are totally honest – ourselves.

I, like the many women I speak of and know, have this urging to create a life that I can truly sit back, grab a glass of champagne and smile about. And that is what inspired me to create Simply Harmony.

Simply Harmony, in essence, is my public pledge to myself to live the rest of my days as festive, creative and as love-filled as possible. Over the past few months, I’ve discovered that if I immerse myself in the present and put my energy into the things that I love – spending the day writing, throwing dinner parties, cooking a romantic dinner for my husband, browsing bookstores and art galleries, mailing surprise cards and gifts to friends and family – I am more than well on my way to a harmonious living. Don’t you want to be too?

As exciting as all of this may seem, Simply Harmony is not about creating the perfect life. It’s not about finding the ideal formula for an immaculate life. Simply Harmony is about being messy, adventurous, and experimenting with life and grabbing hold of a sensational idea or two that will inspire you to design a chic, healthy, and blissful life for yourself and those you love.

Here at Simply Harmony we are dynamic women who celebrate life in all of its beauty. We want to add more balance to our appointment-riddled lives. We want to take more walks along the beach, shop at our favorite boutiques, and take that spin class that we’ve been peaking into for the past month. We want to write that book, dabble in a vegetarian lifestyle, and plan that romantic weekend away with our significant other.  We want to turn off the TV, plant a tree, and make that green smoothie we keep hearing about on talk shows. We are doers. We are positive energy givers. We are nurtures. We, at Simply Harmony, are women who are enthusiastic about living … simply and harmoniously!

I welcome you all and invite you to sit back, enjoy, and chat it up in the comment section. Cheers!
