Good Enough

September 24, 2019September 19, 2019 heatherwhoyt2 Comments

Sometimes we accept the worst solution because we can't have the best. But the better thing is available and right in front of us. You decline $40,000 because you can't have $80,000.

Accepting the unfinished

February 5, 2019 heatherwhoytLeave a comment

It's okay to let things be, even though they are unfinished and incomplete. I have written books that will only exist in computer files, rough and unread. I have made plans for houses that I will never live in again. I have started learning, only to forget. Incomplete.

The joy of a simple life

June 27, 2018 Heather HoytLeave a comment

I am currently reading a self-help book that drives down the same, worn-out path of trying to convince the reader that they can accomplish a lot because the author has accomplished a lot. If the reader follows the path of the author by doing specific things, then the reader will also be successful. And usually… Continue reading The joy of a simple life
