leisurelambie

Welcome to my blog! My site is designed to allow you to explore the beauty present in what we call “the everyday" as well as the beauty that can be found when traveling around the world. The experiences I share are ones that I hope will inspire you on your journey of finding joy in every day life. The website name leisurelambie.com comes from my observation to the reaction of the word ‘leisure’. Leisure is often viewed as moments of doing nothing. What I have found is that leisure means doing something that brings you joy. Leisure is an active word. I want to encourage you to create leisure time in your life that will activate feelings of joy and fulfillment.
