Towards a Simple Life

Less busy. Less stuff. Less stress. More contentment living a purposeful, slow, simple life.

This channel was formerly known as Rozanne Paxman's Home. The content is shifting towards simplifying home and personal life, decluttering (but not minimalism), organizing, reduced spending, simple cleaning routines, and quiet moments, so we can celebrate our unique lives. If you are feeling overwhelmed with the state of your own mind, life and home, follow along with me as I journey towards a simpler, more beautiful life.

Appreciate you!!

Eggs are 50 each! My husband just tried to buy some eggs at Costco. Nope. Not there. He finally found a few dozen at a smaller store. I have warned the family not to make scrambled eggs and such for now. I need the eggs for baking and recipes. Crazy times!

Ever hear of a glow up? Itā€™s a ā€œthingā€ and I just heard about them in 2024. Normally glow ups are about your appearance, but I have a different take on the idea. I made a video about how we can glow up to make 2025 a better year. Itā€™s available on my other channel - Just Talking About Life. Hereā€™s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlXjF...

Have you heard that Apple got FDA approval for AirPods Pro 2 hearing aid functionality? I'm talking about it on my other channel, Just Talking About Life. I'm comparing the experience with my regular hearing aids (from Costco). If you have hearing loss - or afraid you might, but are worried about the expense - or you're just curious about what this is like, you really ought to see this video.

The high-level of conflict and abandonment of family relationships expressed via social media has been weighing heavy on my heart. I recorded an inspirational video this morning (found on my other channel, Just Talking About Life). It encourages us to be close as families and gives practical tips about what you can do to avoid contention and conflict at family gatherings. It also has some tips about how you can let a family member who has withdrawn from the family circle that you still love them.

As a note: I am a follower of Jesus Christ. He has a significant role in my life, as well as in this video, which includes many Bible scriptures.

Thereā€™s nothing like a loss at Thanksgiving time to wake you up and make you remember how much better your life is than you sometimes think it is. I posted this short video with the details on my other channel, Just Talking About Life. Please say a prayer. You can see the video here: https://youtu.be/ShnRHh0Z09g?si=wqeWg...

Towards a Simple Life

ā€œWe need to examine all the ways we use our time: our work, our ambitions, our affiliations, and the habits that drive our actions. As we make such a study, we will be able to better understand what we should really be spending our time doing.ā€ - William R. Bradford

Iā€™m still deep diving into my time-use patterns. I am beginning to see relationships between how I spend my time and my health, my mental state, my peace of mind, and - most importantly- my ability to hear Godā€™s guidance. When my mind is too occupied with ā€œhappenings,ā€ I donā€™t have cognitive space to receive answers and ideas.

Have you ever studied how youā€™re spending your time? Or is it something you havenā€™t thought of before?
