Home & Hearth

Hello and welcome to SimpliBee. I call this my digital home and hearth because I offer it as a place to rest, to contemplate life, to connect and maybe find a little inspiration. What you’ll find here is an eclectic mix of simple offerings… my personal reflections on life, a few poems and prayers, and some little gifts – offerings I’ve created for friends and family that you may find helpful.

I don’t actively promote this website and rarely mention it. So if you’ve landed here I’m guessing it’s out of curiosity or simply by chance. If we’ve met me in person, you may find this a way of getting to know me better. If you’re here by chance maybe there’s something here for you to discover.

Whatever it is that brings you, I hope you find something that touches your heart in a gentle way and that it leaves you feeling inspired and uplifted – ready to embrace whatever life brings your way with a heart full of love and compassion.

Personal Reflections

Life can be beautiful, especially when we seek it out. And, it also brings many challenges. I believe remaining open and responsive to both is the key to genuine happiness. Sharing from the heart in both joyful and challenging times enables us to connect with each other at a deep level and paves the way for greater understanding, tolerance and unity in the world. The reflections I share are offered with heartfelt gratitude for the abundance in my life.

Inspiration

Inspiration comes in many forms and touches each one of us differently. I believe it is the connections we have with each other, with nature and with our own sense of divinity that enriches and brings the greatest value and purpose to life.

In this section I share the things I receive from others that have uplifted and inspired me in the hope that they bring you equal joy and value.

Gifts & Opportunities

Wisdom comes with experience and experience comes through a willingness to fully embrace whatever comes our way. Everything is a gift.

The links below are my gifts to you in offering opportunities to connect, deepen your engagement with life, open your heart to new possibilities and strengthen your capacity to deal with challenges.

The Path To Love

Love isn’t just an emotion, it’s the essence of who we are. It has the potential to exist in all our relationships… with ourselves, those we connect with daily and all those we come in contact with however brief and fleeting that may be. Each one of us came into this world with innocence and wonder in our hearts and I believe it remains within us throughout our lives. Sometimes it flows freely, other times it feels remote and unobtainable, but it is always there along with a natural desire to give and receive praise, affection and support.

When we take the time to look deeply and seek out the beautiful qualities within ourselves and each other we discover that even the people we find most challenging bring tremendous value to our lives.

It’s not always easy. It takes courage, dedication and a willingness to be vulnerable to reconnect with this essential essence, and it’s often easier to find a way back to love when there is someone with you holding your hand when fear and doubt set in.

That support may come from friends and loved ones, sometimes it requires a professional specializing in specific areas of support. Other times we just need to know someone, somewhere is willing to be a guardian angel. I’m not claiming to be an angel, but I hope that what I offer acts as a reminder to connect deeply, find support to bring your true light into the world and know that you are love.

May peace, joy and abundance be with you every step of the way.
