Meet the Author
Welcome to Life’s Little Pleasures and Struggles! My name is Sonia, and I am the author and the voice behind Life’s Little Pleasures and Struggles. So glad you found your way to my blog and decided to look around!
I am a wife and a mother of two beautiful children. I am incredibly passionate about simple intentional living, reading and learning new things every day, putting my thoughts into words, traveling, keeping my home tidy and beautiful, creative home organization, and money management. I love my beautiful family, and thank God every day for having them to share my life with.
I look for every opportunity to make the most of what we have as a family, and cherish our presence and togetherness more than anything else. I also manage our family’s finance, and living simply and mindfully has allowed us to live comfortably on one income.
Even after suffering from some serious financial setbacks due to all the chaos and ups and downs in the economy, we are still doing great and enjoying our lives as much as we can within our means. While dealing with money, we did make some mistakes in the beginning, but learnt our life-lessons from there, simplified our financial life, and managed to be back on track.
I like to look at the brighter sides, and for me the glass is always half full, not half empty. I believe, gratitude is the key to happiness. Seeing the positive side of every hardship and struggle, counting and appreciating every single blessing, feeling grateful for everything that makes life little easier and meaningful, celebrating life on an every day basis, and believing that God is in control is what keeps me grounded.
My life is not perfect, but it is real and blissful. And I am here to share all my experiences, wisdom, and insights with you. Perhaps that will help you create a blissful life that you can enjoy, with all its pleasures and struggles, and be truly grateful for.
Whatever struggles you and your family are facing right now, I promise there are things you can do to make a positive change for the better. Even though our individual circumstances and experiences may differ greatly, I believe we can all relate to each other to some extent because of our one very common desire: to live a happy fulfilling life.
