When I was first prompted to think about a ‘curated life’, I went first to a dictionary to discover the meaning of the word CURATE.  The dictionary defines it thus: ‘to take charge of and organise, to pull together, sift through and select for presentation”.  Then my thinking went to, what do I need to curate?  As I pondered on this I realised that there are many areas in our lives that need taking charge of, sorting out and pulling together, so that we can present ourselves ‘blameless before the throne of God on judgement day’.  (Eph 1.4, Deut 18.13).

For many a Beautifully Curated Life maybe devoid of overwhelm and problems, easy going and quite possibly mediocre.  Simplifying life is really about the choices we make. 

You are the only one that can assume responsibility for your time and to clarify what is important to you – you are the one that ‘curates your beautiful life’ and what makes it everything but mediocre.  Your choices are far more powerful than your circumstances and whilst you may not like how complicated your life is right now, no-one is forcing you to let it stay complicated.  God expects you to carefully choose how you spend your time.  Galatians 6.5.

Once you know what elements of your life need curating (and it’s an ongoing growth process), then you will recognise that to Live Brilliantly is the naturally occurring result of the choices that you make.  The long and short of it – it starts with YOU.

You are YOUNIQUELY DESIGNED.
