Hi, I’m Janelle. Nice to meet you.
You’re obviously here because you’d like to know a bit about me. I aim to please, so, here goes…
Who am I?
I’m an idealist, thinker, writer, designer and dreamer, writing to reclaim my forgotten self–to create art from truth. I love to look deep into the eyes of seemingly complex issues and find the simple core. Oh, and I ask why a lot, which bothers some people.
Here on Liv Simpl, I write about two things: living simple (surprise!) and lifestyle design. Somewhere in my mind the two are inseparably intertwined.
Sidebar!: Let me explain that last bit. At the core, I see simple living as living your truth. Being you is as simple as it gets. Lifestyle design is designing a life around who you truly are.
And...we're back!
Until recently, I thought that simple living was about becoming a minimalist, getting rid of clutter and telling people that they had too much crap. I was wrong. Starting this blog taught me that it’s about one thing: meaning. Right? Are you here to read another boring article about cleaning out your garage or are you here to find more meaning and you think simple living can help?
It’s all about more.
My mission is to help people have more goodness in their lives. More joy, more happiness, more love, more peace, more wellness, more sex, more adventure…all of it is yours. I do this by focusing on value. You know, the things that enrich our lives and make us better human beings. What adds value to your life? Let’s talk about how you can get more and let everything else fall away.
The goal of Liv Simpl is to build a community of architects who have a strong desire to change the world by simply being their true selves, who want to build lean, purposeful, genuine lives and help others do the same.
