Are You Living an Opulent Life?

Several years ago I was introduced to Joyce Rennolds, Motivator of One or a Thousand, and my life was enriched beyond measure.

Joyce is a motivational speaker and life coach who moves you to not only envision the life you’ve always wanted, but to make that life a reality.  

The hubby and I attend Joyce’s weekly motivational class, not only because she inspires us, but because we’ve come to love and value Joyce and her friendship.

During class this week, Joyce talked about living an opulent life.  Not a life of excess or over-abundance, but a life filled with little things and memorable experiences that allow you to bask in opulence and enjoy life to the fullest. 

 

 It could be as simple as going to dinner at a fine restaurant that you’ve always wanted to visit, or indulging in a spa treatment, just because.  Or, it might be dressing up in fancy duds and attending a play!  

Joyce’s talk on living an opulent life got me thinking about opulence as it relates to our home and decor.

I’ve been in a lot of homes, from million dollar homes to 800 sq. foot apartments.  While a more expensive home is bound to have finer finishes and more expensive details than an apartment, those things are not what gives a home its true opulence.  True opulence comes from the personalized elements we decorate our homes with, and the little details we add that make the space special, comfortable, beautiful and our haven.

Living a Opulent life is there for the taking.  It’s  not about money, it’s about your state of mind and surrounding yourself with things that enrich your soul, make your heart sing and bring you joy everyday!
