And while I try my best not to "preach" or make this a blog about theology, in one way or another, some of the inspiration, motivation, prespective, and joy I find in my Christian belief will naturally come out in my writing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I married at a young age and had a family right away, so "life" took over and I was "lost" in the life of motherhood. I was lost but now I'm found. Through God's amazing grace and unconditional love, I have come to enjoy spiritual disciplines that led to "finding" my authentic self thereby finding true joy in motherhood and life as a whole. Joy that I hope to share to all that may chance upon this blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;I hope to impart everything that have inspired me and all the ongoing learning process in my quest for a simple and joyful life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Inspired Simplicity is where I share my reflections....on family, friendship, spirituality, and everything else that matter in this beautiful thing we call life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;May it reflect God's light and love to all who come and visit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3115662875522697803-4582764223192819492?l=imeldaphillips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3115662875522697803/posts/default/4582764223192819492'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3115662875522697803/posts/default/4582764223192819492'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://imeldaphillips.blogspot.com/2010/04/welcome.html' title=''/><author><name>Imelda@Inspired Simplicity</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f337/isphillips/P1010134.jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
