I read this book {The Power of Less} in February and I can’t recommend it enough. After reading it {twice} things have really started to fall into place. I’m finally getting it.

I’m finally understanding how my mind works and I’m finally understanding just what I need to do to try and achieve everything I wish for. I’ve also fully realised that I have so much already; I’d also got so caught up in the daily routine of life, spending far too long wishing for the future, that I’d forgotten about the now.

”Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler”

quote: Henry David Thoreau

After reading the book I’ve reduced my Internet time considerably, learned to focus on one goal and done a lot of day dreaming. Sometimes you just need to do that. I now have a quiet confidence that I can do this.

The {Great} Mortgage Payoff: Progress

by Move to Portugal March 2, 2010

I don’t mind admitting I’m all over the place with my decisions about owning vs renting a home. I love the idea of being totally {mortgage} debt free in a couple of years, and then renting in Portugal until we find our ‘right’ area; although I do wonder if someone who loves her home as much as I do could be happy in rented accommodation forever!?
