Mudita

"If I am only happy for myself, many fewer chances for happiness. If I am happy when good things happen to other people, billions more chances to be happy!" -Dalai Lama

"Joy"—a boundless capacity to savor life's blessings, regardless of whether they're showered on us or on other people.  (Quotes from Yoga Journal Online, "A Wellspring of Joy")

Heal


"It is the continuing work of life: of learning to trust that the universe is unfolding exactly as it should, no matter how it looks to us; learning to appreciate that each of us has a part in nurturing this interconnectedness whole and healing it where it is torn; discovering what our individual contribution can be, then giving ourselves fully to it." -Ram Dass

The Zone



"I have no thoughts of the way things should be or the way things have been before."

Welcome to MInimal Impact

Hello! Welcome to Minimal Impact, a space where you'll find what inspires me to live minimally and love fully. A lifestyle I've found to best support me in all aspects of my life as a Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Friend, Student and Teacher. I also love beautiful, original, organic photography so you'll find plenty of that here as well. Namaste!
