New Biz. New Start. New Gift for You.

Hi there,

I’m so excited to announce the launch of my new business, Gentle Living. I wrote a launch gift for you about finding your life’s purpose that I’ll tell you more about below.

Gentle Living is an online magazine about living a gentle but powerful life.  

It’s a blog but I hope you find that it has the look, feel and virtual smell of a magazine column. My goal is to make it full of inspiration, motivation, encouragement, tips and tricks, reviews, resources and advice. It will cover all of the wonderful nooks and crannies that encompass a gentle lifestyle. From self-help, to animal welfare, to travel, to home decor, to ethical beauty & fashion, to an advice column, it’s all going to be gentle; not weak, just gentle.

Gentle Living is a business that serves you but that reflects my purpose – spreading a message of love and compassion for ourselves and the world around us.

If you’ve been following me for a bit, you may be familiar with Your Time Travels, the travel company for animal lovers. Your Time Travels is still running! It’s now the travel department of Gentle Living. Here I will sell handpicked trips that are life changing and full of animals and nature.

Reflecting my purpose is important to me and that’s why I took the time to create this new vision.

In running my first business, Your Time Travels, I grew as a person and with that my vision grew. I found out what was working for me, what wasn’t, and what I was longing for. Gentle Living is a reflection of both this learning experience and a deeper understanding of my purpose. It allows me to fulfill things that my initial business goals didn’t account for.

I will still be customizing select trips abroad but now I will also write about an abundance of amazing travel options for ethically-minded travelers. I’m a lawyer so research and writing are my way of life, this business will allow me to deliver that to you more freely.

We all have a purpose, it may grow and how we deliver it may change but discovering it is key to a fulfilled life. Our purpose is what makes us tick, what makes us feel like we’re living the life that was destined for us.

It’s that feeling of total and utter spiritual completeness, of knowing you’re doing exactly what you should be doing. Suddenly you need nothing else, nothing is missing, you’re no longer longing for the unknown and your feelings of emptiness vanish. You’re just doing, just being, just fulfilling. Whether it’s a full-time gig or a part-time hobby doesn’t matter, it just matters that you do it.

When I was working as a lawyer I never thought about purpose, not until I was so unhappy that I was desperate to find deeper meaning. Now I’m thankful that I was forced to look deeper and that I learned how to find it.

If you’re not living a life true to your purpose, whose life are you living? What programmed thinking is controlling you? Are you feeling fulfilled or are you feeling like there’s something missing? Are you unsure of what your purpose is? It’s not always so easy to find.

My FREE gift to you is a guide I wrote called The 5 Steps to Awaken Your Purpose & Fulfill Your Destiny.

It’s yours, free. I hope it’s helpful to you or anyone you might know who needs it. If you’re on my list it will be emailed to you. If you’re not, hop on and you’ll receive it.

Thanks for being here, for reading this, for supporting me and for being patient with me as I formulated my new business. I appreciate you immensely and I hope to serve you well.

Lots of exciting things coming up, including a January trip to Paris followed by a vegan safari in Tanzania! One of the perks of selling travel Can’t wait to share it all with you. So excited for this new direction!
