And what if I told you that what you have to give will also enable you to live a life of true contentment? How is that possible? It happens when you embrace and curate your own simply luxurious life. We tend to not realize the capacity of our full potential and settle for what society has deemed acceptable. However, each of us has a unique journey to travel if only we would find the courage, paired with key skills we can develop, to step forward. This book will help you along the deeper journey to discovering your best self as you begin to trust your intuition and listen to your curiosity.

Review

"Shannon Ables is the friend we all want right next door, or at least in the same town. In her latest book, LIVING THE SIMPLY LUXURIOUS LIFE - Making your Everydays Extraordinary and Discovering Your Best Self, she opens up her ideas, advice, and plain old common sense to her readers, on so many subjects. Want to move, change careers, say "I do," develop your emotional intelligence, sleep on yummy sheets? Shannon gives you tips on how to think about making such decisions, then clearly outlines ways to go about making them happen." -Susan Hermann Loomis, author of On Rue Tatin and many more titles and cooking instructor in Louviers, France

From the Back Cover

What can you uniquely give the world? We often sell ourselves short with self-limiting beliefs, but most of us would be amazed and delighted to know that we do have something special -- our distinctive passions and talents -- to offer.

And what if I told you that what you have to give will also enable you to live a life of true contentment? How is that possible? It happens when you embrace and curate your own simply luxurious life. We tend to not realize the capacity of our full potential and settle for what society has deemed acceptable. However, each of us has a unique journey to travel if only we would find the courage, paired with key skills we can develop, to step forward.

This book will help you along the deeper journey to discovering your best self as you begin to trust your intuition and listen to your curiosity. You will learn how to:

* Recognize your innate strengths
* Acquire the skills needed to nurture your best self
* Identify and navigate past societal limitations often placed upon women
* Strengthen your brand both personally and professionally
* Build a supportive and healthy community
* Cultivate effortless style
* Enhance your everyday meals with seasonal fare
* Live with less, so that you can live more fully
* Understand how to make a successful fresh start
* Establish and mastermind your financial security
* Experience great pleasure and joy in relationships
* Always strive for quality over quantity in every arena of your life

Living simply luxuriously is a choice: to think critically, to live courageously, and to savor the everydays as much as the grand occasions. As you learn to live well in your everydays, you will elevate your experience and recognize what is working for you and what is not. With this knowledge, you let go of the unnecessary, thus simplifying your life and removing the complexity. Choices become easier, life has more flavor, and you begin to feel deeply satisfying true contentment. The cultivation of a unique simply luxurious life is an extraordinary daily journey that each of us can master, leading us to our fullest potential.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Internationally recognized blogger, author, and podcaster Shannon Ables founded the blog The Simply Luxurious Life in 2009 and debuted the podcast The Simple Sophisticate in 2014. She writes and teaches about true contentment and how shifting the focus to quality rather than quantity in every area of our lives elevates the everyday, regardless of one’s age, income, gender, or relationship status.

Shannon's third book, The Road to Le Papillon: Daily Meditations on True Contentment (released March 2022) pairs never-before-shared personal stories and moments that occurred along her journey, with a daily entry for each day of the calendar year inviting readers to grow, stretch, try, explore, strengthen and honor the true self that upon embracing will lead to true contentment.

Her first book, Choosing the Simply Luxurious Life: A Modern Woman’s Guide, describes the foundation of the simply luxurious life — one that prioritizes quality over quantity in each of our endeavors: curating our passions and talents; building healthy, strong relationships; being sensible about our finances; curating a signature personal style; maintaining fitness in mind and body; traveling well; creating an inviting sanctuary; and entertaining with ease. An entire chapter explains how to indulge your inner Francophile.

Shannon’s second book, Living the Simply Luxurious Life: Making Your Everydays Extraordinary and Discovering Your Best Self, offers the tools to tailor your everydays so that you can live your best life, utilizing your strengths to reach your full potential — a truly singular and individual journey.

Shannon is a retired public education teacher. After earning a Master’s in Education degree in Language Arts Secondary Education, she taught AP Language and Composition for the final ten years of her twenty-year teaching tenure. During her undergraduate studies to earn a bachelor’s degree in English, with a minor in history, she sought out courses in British literature and history, and studied for a time in Angers, France. The French and British cultures inspire much of the content on The Simply Luxurious Life blog and continue to pique her curiosity.

Shannon has lived in Bend, Oregon, since 2015, with her two boys (gentleman pups) Oscar (2005–2021) and Norman, both depicted on the cover of this book. During the summer of 2019, Shannon found and purchased the house that she fondly named Le Papillon.

Fabulous, Charming, and Full of Wisdom!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

As a reader of TSLL blog and listener of The Simple Sophisticate podcast, I was incredibly eager to read this book, and it did not disappoint! This is the kind of book you need to read with a highlighter and journal handy because there are so many insightful thoughts and great ideas to apply to your own life. Shannon is wise and inspiring, yet warm and relatable - a perfect mix to deliver both the serious and fun aspects of this fabulous lifestyle book. For anyone who is interested in elevating her own daily life and moving beyond surviving and toward thriving, this book is a must read! I can relate to the author in many ways (we are both 40-ish PNW women with careers in teaching) but I was unsure if I could apply all of her ideas to my own life as a single mom with decidedly more chaos in my day to day existence. However, I found the topics absolutely relevant to my own life, and I think many women of varying ages and circumstances will agree. I know I will keep my heavily-highlighted copy on hand to reference and reread for inspiration as I implement these ideas to improve my own everyday life. Do yourself a favor, and READ THIS BOOK!

The right book at the right time

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

I stumbled upon Shannon's blog and then discovered her book. Amazing how the Universe shows you the right thing when you are ready. It came at a time when longstanding responsibilities and projects were winding down, and I had decided to take a "sabbatical" to contemplate my true desires before embarking on new endeavors. I am much older than Shannon and my life couldn't be more different, but found that she is wise beyond her years with thoughts that are still relevant to me as I dedicate time to my personal growth. (As an introvert, it was so refreshing to find someone else who navigates the world similarly.) I first purchased the e-book and then ordered the printed copy so that I could flip through and make notes. (Yes, I did highlight on my e-book, but enjoyed being able to flip through pages and easily see my many notations.) I'm also thinking of purchasing the audio version so I can listen to it on my walks or in the car. It's been a long time since a book had a profound impact.

A Wonderful Guide to a Life Well Lived

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

Shannon Ables is a believer in cultivating a life, not waiting for it to happen, but creating it in the most lovely way. I read Shannon's first book years ago and have eagerly waited for the Kindle edition of her new book. Like Shannon, I am a public high school teacher and enjoy her tips and techniques for living a life of style and substance on my income. She shows that it isn't how much we acquire, but the experiences that we collect along the way that lead to a rich and full life. I am a culinary arts teacher and especially enjoy Shannon's new cooking videos on her blog, but am also an avid reader and can identify with her passion for bookstores and evenings spent with books and tea. Her book, like her blog reminds me to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of life such as walking my dog, enjoying my home, family and friends and choosing quality over quantity in all areas.

Shannon’s book was brought to my attention during breakfast with a friend. Since then, I have discovered many women have read this book and one said “it gives me comfort.” Shannon’s writing is light, easily read and simplifies eliminating obstacles in your life with reason and methods. I am 77 and cleaned out half my closet with her inspiration. That included luxury professional wear from 20 years ago. I am also excited about following a dream from 50 years ago. Thanks to Shannon and my friend who recommended this read.

Living the Simply Luxurious Life

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was first introduced to Shannon Ables through her blog and podcast. I read her first book which was very good but this one is better. I wish that it had been around when I was in my twenties. However, the great part about this book is that it contains concepts that are beneficial at any age. Who doesn’t need to know oneself; identify values; learn to budget time and finances?

I would suggest gifting Shannon’s books to all girls on their way to womanhood. I love that Shannon emphasizes making everyday exstraordinary.

Although I prefer the blog (with photos!), the is an inspiring sequel to the author’s first book. It is better organized and feels more like a cohesive book than just a collection of posts.

I strongly recommended this author

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

Loved the book as much as the previous one. I have been following the author online, from her very first book, searched and uploaded all her blogs from the start. I love her talent as a writer and creator, I like her soothing voice and I admire her devotion to live simply luxuriously. From a genuine place of love and curiosity, Shannon has helped me in so many different ways for the past eight years. Without being patronising or a self-proclaimed maven, she has the talent to inspire.

Enduring list of banalities

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

I tried to like this book! I was attracted by the book cover image.

The book has no structure, at times very "woke" and just infuriating with amount of fluff. It lacks focus and has nothing to do with its title. There will be endless "to be happy, you have to find your true self", "liberated woman should be financially independent". The author is using too many quotes that I personally don't want to hear. I bought the book to hear something original, not what Oprah would have said.

I worked with pencil and marker and could not find a single practical advice.
