Meet Tawna

Hi, I’m Dr. Tawna Schmidt — a former teacher, school counselor, and university professor with a deep passion for living simply and intentionally.

I’ve also started several businesses from the ground up, including a real estate business, a real estate appraiser business, and was a top seller and leader with Mary Kay Cosmetics, earning the prestigious pink Cadillac in my first 18 months with the company. I earned my first car, the red Grand Am, in month 7 after starting my business.

I also have several additional websites, including two of my favorites because they focus on slowing down the mind and focusing on creativity: ColoringPagesHQ.com and CuteThingstoDraw.com

My journey into minimalism and quiet living stems from the belief that a meaningful life centers on time, presence, and purpose, not on material possessions.

Over the years, I’ve learned to prioritize what matters most to me: my faith, my family, and the gift of calm, uncluttered moments.

I believe experiences matter more than stuff, and I strive daily to protect my time and quiet living like the treasures they are. Whether I’m traveling, enjoying quality family time, writing, or relishing a slow morning at home, it is a daily goal to embrace each moment with intention, grace, and gratitude.

However, with all that being said, I haven’t always lived an uncluttered and unchaotic life, even when I wanted to.

Keep reading through the blog where I share my long journey into transitioning from an overly booked, busy, and chaotic life to a calm, peaceful and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet where I share encouragement, reflections, tips, and practical inspiration for those longing to slow down and live with more mindfulness, peace and purpose.

If you strive for a similar life, hop on board! Let’s take the journey together!
