#8 Reminder: The Best Things in Life are Free!

by Kayce Stevens Hughlett

Live it to give it is not just my brand for work, but also for life. For me, it means giving to myself what I would give to my most cherished friend or child or stranger in need… and then sharing it with others. It’s my version of Gandhi’s “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
 
I want simplicity in my life. I want to be inspired. I want time and space to create and simply be. I want connection. I want to give the same to others. So… I must live it, and that’s not always easy!
 
You would not believe the number of amazing opportunities and people that have entered into my life (and potentially my calendar), since “31 days of simplicity & inspiration” popped onto my radar. Rather than slowing down, life is threatening to get complex very fast. Thus, I am receiving over-sized chances to practice what I preach.
 
I want my holidays to be filled with love and magic, not stress-filled lists. So today, I’m keeping it simple and sharing my personal list of gifts that are not only free, but also have been known to set me free.
 
Please borrow, use, and share it FREE-ly.

Remember: It really is true that the best things in life are FREE!
 
Enjoy!
