Seasons of Life

“If you’ve identified yourself as too busy, step off that jet-propelled treadmill. Take some time to catch your breath and confront the condition of your soul.” –Jean Fleming, Finding Focus in a Whirlwind World

 by Deborah Taylor-Hough

Many times we don’t experience the joys of life as fully as we can because we’re too wrapped up in the busy-ness and daily-ness of life. With so many conflicting complications tearing at the framework of our lives, is it any wonder we sometimes long to escape to a desert island and experience a little bit of that refreshing, slower-paced “island” time?

Contentment Robbers & Thieves

by Deborah Taylor-Hough

A while back, someone told me that they were tired of being in debt and were ready to get their spending under control. But they were concerned about the fact that they still enjoyed spending money to pamper themselves. They were looking for inexpensive “luxury” ideas.

Are You on the Road to Debt and Destruction?

Every year since 1996, over one million personal bankruptcies have been filed in the United States. The majority of these are the direct result of poorly managed consumer debt.

I was informed recently that outstanding U.S. consumer debt (non-mortgage related) totals much more than a trillion dollars. The most disturbing fact behind that staggering number is that thirteen percent of that one trillion dollar figure, or thirteen billion dollars, was delinquent. 

Thirteen billion dollars of delinquent consumer debt. Over one million personal bankruptcies each year. Are YOU on the road to debt and destruction, or ready to apply now for the financial help? Take this simple quiz and find out. 

A Short History of Me – Where I’ve Been and Where I am Now

Believe it or not, I’d never set out to write books.  Strange as it may seem, book contracts just sort of fell into my lap.  Recently several people online have expressed interest in my book and internet history, and where I’m at today.  So I thought I’d take a few minutes today to share my story, such as it is.  It’s not super exciting or glamorous, and definitely nobody’s going to make a movie about it like they did with Julie and Julia.  But, hey, like Julie Powell, I actually was discovered online and given a book deal because of my websites.

A Simple Choice: A Practical Guide for Saving Your Time, Money and Sanity

A Simple Choice: A practical guide for saving your time, money and sanity by Deborah Taylor-Hough

This book of mine was written more than 10 years ago but is just as timely now with the current economic situation.

Prior to writing A Simple Choice, I spent nearly a year interviewing real people about what living simply meant to them and how they were practically applying simple living principles to their lives.  So not only was this book written from my own experiences, it was also borne from the experiences and insights of 100+ others.
