Momentous results often emerge from one motivated individual. This girl wants the simple life I am working toward during the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge. Read my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Manifesto!!
A Recovering Magpie’s Motivation
My continuing motivation for this 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge stems from considering, internalizing, and shaping my mission. When motivation fades, I re-read my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Manifesto!! No mission is motivating until it is personal. The search for a simpler life has become a reflexive, daily habit. It is sustainable when it becomes habitual.
{Coming clean} The motivation wanes at times! It seems to diminish and fade before I realize. That is the time to recommit to the mission. I love this quote from Finding God in All Things: A Marquette Prayer Book ©2009 Marquette University Press.

Fall in Love
Attributed to Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ (1907–1991)
Nothing is more practical than finding God, than falling in Love in a quite absolute, final way.
What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything.
It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, whom you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.
Fall in Love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.
