About Me

My brother and I 

Hi! My name is Brenda, better known as Living Simply Sassy Classy. I'm a 40 something who is on a journey to create simplicity and organization in my life. I've been on this journey for going on two years now, and sometimes feel like I take two steps forward, I then take three steps back. 

It's not an easy journey. It seems that every time I think I've got myself on the right track, something happens to set me back: life, illness, family, work. It all seems to converge at one time. But that is my goal, to learn how to overcome the obstacles of life and to make the changes necessary to live a much more simplistic and organized lifestyle.

Right now, my battle is with body clutter. I have gained way too much weight over the past couple of years. I feel like if I can get a handle on my weight and healthy lifestyle, I'd be on the right track to get the rest of my little world in order, too.

Aside from the blog, I have two wonderful dogs named Sampson (a Dachshund/Springer Spaniel mix) and Boots (a Boston Terror). I often write about them in my blog as they are in a sense my fur-babies.

I work in the world of information technology as a systems test analyst. What that means is that I get to break software for a living. I love my job and what it affords me in this life. 

I hope you will follow me on my journey as I tackle what life has in store. I know I'm excited about what is next and what God has in store. Enjoy!
