Sailing, Simplicity, and the Pursuit of Happiness, began in 2008 when Teresa gave up a whole lot of stability for the unstable plan to chase her dreams by living aboard a boat and taking on odd jobs to support her lifestyle, and selling handcrafted items through her online Etsy shop. In the following two years she lived aboard a small 27 foot sailboat named Daphne with only her cat Dory for company. Its not a house, but it was home, its not a car, but she traveled a blue road. For two years she sailed, explored, and discovered what simple living meant to her and shared it all on this blog. Writing helped her. Blog readers inspired her. Now, she is planning for her next big voyage, a documentary film called One Simple Question. In the meantime, Sailing, Simplicity, and the Pursuit of Happiness must give back to the readers. Teresa's goal is to share meaningful thoughts on her exploration of simple living, to help sailors with life aboard, and to inspire others to chase their own creative dream through honest and uplifting writing by her and that of guest bloggers as well.
