Hi Reader, It's Sharon from Simply Home, back with a new edition of the Simple Things Digest. Today, I'm sharing what Fall, Coke, and Comfort have in common. On a Personal Note Finding comfort has been my lifeās pursuit. When I think Iāve found it, whether itās in my home, friendships, food, or in a role, I tend to tighten my grip around that thing as if everything depends on itāeven when itās something as small as a fountain Coke. Iāve been a soda drinker since childhood, but through the...

Hi Reader, It's Sharon from Simply Home, back with a new edition of the Simple Things Digest. And man, do I have a story for you... On a Personal Note It was mid afternoon on Friday the thirteenth.

Ninety potential jurors, including me, had been at the courthouse since nine a.m. Weād finally finished the questioning phase and were waiting on the lawyers to make their strikes from the jury pool. In the meantime, the...

Simply Home Hot off the blog! I'd gotten so carried away with expanding my capacity to be and do more that I was starting to feel lost...almost forgotten. So, this week I decided to listen to the nudging of my soul and push the reset button on how I plan my days and spend my time. I still wrote down my priorities for the week. And I stuck to my general weekly routineā¦housekeeping on Monday, errands on Tuesday, etc. Other than that, I let each day unfold without rushing to āget to workā or...

Hi Reader, It's Sharon from Simply Home, back with a new edition of the Simple Things Digest. Today, I'm sharing what happened behind the scenes once the camera stopped rolling on my home tour video and introducing our September theme. On a Personal Note Right after my niece and I finished filming my home tour, we, along with my daughter and husband, hopped in the car and headed to lunch. On the drive to the restaurant, I pulled out my phone, went to the media library and opened the home tour...

Simply Home Hot off the blog! My home tour is finally here! I've been wanting to/planning this for months. But, I kept putting it off because I wanted it to be perfect. Not the house, or even the video itself, but the perspective, which meant me filming myself wouldn't do. My daughter and husband work during the good daylight hours. So, I reached out to my sweet niece who has some availability if she would come help me film. She came over this past Friday, and we filmed for close to an hour....

Hi! It's Sharon from Simply Home, back with a new edition of the Simple Things Digest. On a Personal Note I woke to the sound of birds chirping, regretting setting my alarm. Nine minutes later, the birds were back. Then again nine minutes after that. And another 9 minutes after that. Iād signed up for a 10:45 vinyasa flow yoga class and went to bed eager to start the next morning getting my heart rate up and breaking a sweat. But, 10:00 a.m. came a little too soon considering it was 5:00 a.m....

Hi Reader, It's Sharon from Sharon E. Hines, back with a new edition of the Simple Things Digest. One thing I find myself saying a lot as it applies to clutter is if we don't do the inner work, the cozy, peaceful home and life we crave won't happen. So today, I'm taking you inside the pages of my journal and into the recesses of my heart to show you how I do the inner work. Am I worthy? I woke up this morning (actually, it was the afternoon because I got up twice in the night and finally fell...
