Keeping it simple is the only way it seems life can be managable nowadays. In two seconds my brain can go from fairy's and rainbows to HOW AM I GOING TO ACCOMPLISH ALL OF THIS! I can short circuit my brain in a matter of seconds. I want to go from A to Z and not take the time to visit the other letters. I want to run a marathon before I know how to walk. The only thing that type of thinking has taught me is how to freak myself out of not starting anything at all then.

I am learning to take "baby steps" and reminding myself to keep it simple.

This blog is a wonderful example. I wanted to start out with a full website. It would contain page upon page of info and classes and links and all the usual hoopla. As I sat down to create it it seemed quite overwhelming. I honored my feelings and my capabilities and felt more comfortable starting out just blogging. Keeping it very simple. I am building my website and learning more about the process in a slow steady pace. The MAGIC of it all is by keeping it simple I didn't rob myself of the joy I am feeling writing this blog. I started something and am following through at a simple pace instead of giving up because I couldn't have a full blown website right away.

What magic have you missed out on by not keeping it simple?
