Starting Simply, Living Fully

As this is my first post on my new blog, I would like to provide an overview of where I see this going and a glimpse into how I try to live my life.  But let’s start by defining Unpretentious Abundance.  Unpretentious - not pretentious; free from ostentation, pomp, elegance, or affectation; modest.  Abundance - a great quantity, overflowing fullness, plentiful supply of means or resources.  Unpretentious Abundance sounds very much like an oxymoron…and it is.  It is because Unpretentious Abundance is about living a life of balance.  Over my lifetime, I have experienced times of financial poverty, as well as times of financial wealth.  But what I have learned about myself is that I want the least that I need to be comfortable and happy.  The more you have, the more you have to take care of.  I don’t like feeling burdened by “stuff.”  At times, my posts may reflect a minimalist slant.  However, I do feel that I truly live abundantly.
