Welcome!
I’m going Hands Free. I want to make memories, not to-do-lists. I want to feel the squeeze of my daughter's arms, not the pressure of over-commitment. I want to get lost in conversation with my spouse, not consumed by a sea of unimportant emails. I want to be overwhelmed by sunsets that give me hope, not by extracurricular commitments that steal my joy. I want the noise of my life to be a mixture of laughter and gratitude, not the intrusive buzz of cell phones and text messages. I am letting go of distraction, disconnection, and perfection to live a life that simply, so very simply, consists of what really matters. I’m going Hands Free. And if this sounds like a life you want to start living, come along. A Hands Free revolution starts here! I hope you will join me!Join The Hands Free Revolution on Facebook

A New Fan of Lazy
As one would imagine, my Hands Free mentality causes me to be overly aware of the usage of hand held communication devices. What interests me most are not the times I see people using their phones, it’s the times I … Continue reading
I Had It All

Grasp Your Heartstrings
I rarely, if ever, tell people that I played the violin beginning at age five until the end of high school. My husband loves to tell the story of how we had been married several years when my dad said, … Continue reading
The Hands Free Revolution: Holiday Style
Things were different this year. And not just at my house. -One family took a seventeen hour train ride from Florida to Virginia totally Hands Free. When I looked at the photos they shared, I could practically hear the perceptive … Continue reading
Within Reach
Dearest Readers, I reached out my hand and you took it. In one short week on the web, my hands have been grasped in a way I never dreamed possible. I am humbled that you have put your faith in … Continue reading
Collecting Hellos
As I have tried to become more Hands Free, I have been able to leave more things undone, and limit the things that take time away from what really matters. Coincidentally, this has allowed me to feel less rushed during … Continue reading
