“Your writing and podcasts are ‘just the thing.’ Their brilliant — thoughtful, beautifully recorded, human and relatable, covering topics relevant to those looking to reflect, grow, savor, offer their best to the world, and practice fiscal savviness while living a simple life of luxurious contentment.

“In the nearly 10 years I have been visiting the online destination, listening to podcasts, sharing in the joys and challenges of Shannon and fellow readers (kindred spirits), enjoying the content, watching the development of TSLL, reflecting and growing as a person — it’s been a delight. Looking forward to another 10 years of Shannon’s journey and TSLL.”

“I’m so grateful I found TSLL and you! Your steadfastness in publishing deeply thoughtful content filled with recommendations that feel so spot on with my take on the world gives me immense joy and a feeling of connection. Thank you so much. I am well aware of how much time it must take you to research, write, edit, embed and send these emails. Just incredible.”

“I just want to share that your posts about contentment and savoring are so helpful to me. I’m in a very busy period right now, and what keeps me from feeling overwhelmed, is remembering to pause and savor … It makes possible such an incredible mind shift —from overwhelm to contentment with everything just as it is! Thak you so much for all of your visual and written reminders that you share with all of us.”

“I’ve been thinking more about your sharing the importance of savoring… and something that I think is very important that you inspire us to do, is to try to make every moment, no matter how humble, an opportunity to savor. For example, even when you are at your potting table, you pour a pretty cup of tea, have a few ginger biscuits, and enjoy the beauty of the scene. Also, I find it so inspiring to see all of your photos of your office desk ready for work with your pot of tea and snacks. What I love about this approach, as in the busiest of days, with deadlines and long list that must be done, we can still savor that process, if we make it our intention to do so with small pleasures! Thanks again for the invaluable inspiration!”

“Hi Shannon, it makes me smile to know that I am one of the Simply Luxurious Life’s early followers. I hope you can understand how truly grateful I am to have this community in my life. Learning to savor life’s moments has been quite a journey for me and I so appreciate all of your wonderful guidance. I’d say that you truly have identified your dharma, which is such a wonderful thing- to really know what your gifts are and to put them out into the world! I wish you many more years of success, joy and contentment. Thank you for your lovely gesture of appreciation and thank you for all that you do. Merci!”

“Your passion for what you do for TSLL is always evident but especially during British and French Weeks.  I have greatly enjoyed living vicariously through you this past week as you have shared many of your experiences during your latest sojourn to France.  Thank you for the time you invest in creating such lovely content!”

“I am not a member who has been with you since the beginning, but once I found TSLL, I knew it was something I would enjoy on a regular basis. And I was so right.

There is so much content of all sorts available online, social media, streaming, etc., much which provides information along with a fair amount of angst. At TSLL I have found a platform that is not just informative, but provides the knowledge and guidance with calm and great intention. Quite simply, it is lovely to read, listen and watch!

Cheers to you Shannon for all you do for this community!”

“I’m recently single and realize we live in a world that equates a fulfilling life with romantic relationships and consumerism. There is little content out there showcasing women who enjoy solitude and simplicity who are peaceful and happy. Thank you for being that light.”

“I am in England for the first time, and I made sure to stop into James Smith and Sons’ umbrella shop upon your recommendation. I can’t even tell you how excited I was to be in the shop and to just be in England! Thank you so much for your recommendations and this amazing community you’ve created!”

“Let me please thank you one more time for all the good quality job you put out there for your fans. When reading your books I can appreciate life in a deeper level thanks to your tips and reminders, always reinforcing the message of quality over quantity.

You give me peace with your voice and wisdom while listening to your podcast.

And I finally have the best support in my kitchen with your cooking videos.

Thank you so much for all the love and effort you put into every single think you share.”

“What an inspiring blog. I often find myself thinking about what I have read from Shannon or have listened to on her podcasts. Smart, timely, full of common sense solutions to make everyday count 100%. The Simply Luxurious Life has helped me to develop my goal for this year— to be more active and less busy. The recipes and dietary ideas are first class as well. I love her videos and have tried several of her ideas.”
