Hi There!

My name is Ashley and I’m so glad you’ve stopped into my little corner of the internet.

I’m a wife, mother, nurse, gardener, crazy plant lover, and aquarium keeper among other things. I am also the [fortunate] receiver of a genetic mutation and other medical conditions that have been causing my body to deteriorate.  In the spring of 2018 I was very suddenly thrust into the world of disability.  The journey has been long, and often treacherous but there have also been many blessings along the way.

I’ve always had a deep desire to connect with people in a soul satisfying way, sharing passions, griefs, victories and everything in between.  I also love to write and often find myself processing life through sitting down and writing.  I started this blog years ago as a way to share my love of simple living and now that I am on a slightly different path my writing is as well.

I’m honoured that you are here and I invite you to reach out to me in the comments or feel free to e-mail me – joyofsimplicityblog@gmail.com I would absolutely love to connect with you.
