Little Eco Footprints celebrates five years.

Yay! This space turns five today. I'm extremely grateful to you – for sharing your precious time with me. Thank you.

My intentions for Little eco footprints are still the same as recorded back in my first post five years ago:

"My greatest wish is that our journey will inspire others to live a more sustainable life so that my Little Eco can enjoy the quality of life with her children that we share with her."

Wishing you a calm, creative and meaningful 2014.

On taking a breather (my midlife gap year)

declared 2017 my ‘midlife gap year’—a year off to focus on living life rather than earning a living. A year to pause and ponder before moving onto the second half of my life. I embraced all the ‘r’ words: retreat, reflection, reevaluation, rejuvenation, and restoration. I found the whole experience so worthwhile, my midlife gap year extended to two years. It took that long for my pause to pay off, for me to reemerge—restored, renewed and ready.

How to create the time to live YOUR fair and sustainable life?

Almost a year ago I wrote here that I was going to step away from this space for a month – to focus on home and start the new year with a calm mind and a clear vision.

It seems one month wasn’t enough. This space became one of the many casualties of me ruthlessly clearing the clutter from my schedule. A move that was necessary for me to move even closer to living the life that I aspire to.

We can’t have and do everything – we have to choose. And I chose to focus on home for a while.
