Concepts We Build On - Simple Temple Living.

Hey there, thanks so much for coming back, we are so very excited you're giving us a chance to share our heart with you today.

We like to imagine that our blog is a little house that we are building. 

We don't want this little house to fall down because we didn't take the time to build a solid foundation. That would be tragic, so please bear with us while we get this bit out of the way. 

We have a ton of really great content coming soon, but first, we need to lay some foundations.

So what is simple temple living?

Well, you may have heard of the concept already, but it doesn't really have a name in the wider world just yet, so for the purposes of this blog, we decided to con the term simple temple living

The closest concept that exists to this currently would be mindfulness, but even that leaves a lot to be desired when explaining what simple temple living is. 

Simple temple living is based on the idea that we are created in the image of God and our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. 
( 1 Corinthians 6 )

Even if this faith-based explanation doesn't fit your world view, that's fine because all we are really saying is that we are spirit, that have souls and lives inside a physical body skin-suit. 

We believe that it is very important to take care of these things so that we are able to chase the things that bring us fulfillment and be more effective in all that we do. 

Authentic living is a key part of this.

The celebrations and traditions that mean most to us can often reveal a lot about our values. Celebration times are a great opportunity to put the tips we teach about simple temple living into action.

The very nature of celebrations often requires thinking of others, and so if we can do this with kindness towards ourselves and without forgetting our chosen higher powers, then that is really the basis of what simple temple living is all about.

That about sums up the basics, please feel free to ask if you wish to know more.

Take care everyone.

- Love Hayls

Transforming Your Wardrobe for Joy: A Journey to a Happier You

 Transforming Your Wardrobe for Joy: A Journey to a Happier You Clothing is more than just fabric that covers our bodies; it’s a powerful tool for self-expression, confidence, and joy. The clothes we wear can significantly impact our mood and how we interact with the world. If you find yourself standing in front of a closet full of clothes yet feeling like you have nothing to wear, it might be time to revamp your wardrobe with joy in mind. Here’s how you can transform your wardrobe to bring more happiness into your life.  1.  Declutter with Purpose The first step to a joyful wardrobe is decluttering. Go through each item in your closet and ask yourself whether it brings you joy. This concept, popularized by Marie Kondo's KonMari method, encourages you to keep only those pieces that spark joy. Letting go of clothes that no longer serve you or make you happy can be liberating. Donate or sell items that don’t fit, are out of style, or simply don’t make you feel good.  2...

Sort It Out September - Authentic Faith: Living With A Vexed Soul

Last post, I told you that I am a Christian Universalist.  My definition of this is believing that any path can lead to Jesus but the only way to the Father is through the Son. That said, I need to build from here.  I have to be delicate this post, as I know that people around the world are in grief, and we as a world are in a time of great uncertainty.  I'm choosing not to comment on the passing of Queen Elizabeth, other then to say I'm not commenting on it but I am trying to write with the greatest of delicacy and respect today.  Let's just say I know who my audience are, and I don't believe my opinions or comments on recent events will bring anything enlightening.  If you haven't got anything worth saying then just don't. I live by that.  At present, I'm treating my blog more like a ministry than a business, and I'm in one of those moments where what makes sense for ministry would not make sense for business.  This is the moment we cross over, back ...
