“The foundation of living a simply luxurious life is made up of substance, passion, quality, sensibility, sincerity, appreciation, and continual growth.”
Shannon Ables, Choosing the Simply Luxurious Life: A Modern Woman's Guide

“In the moment, you most likely won't know how valuable such detours will prove to be, but life has a way of revealing the hidden magic in these moments down the road at the appropriate time.”
Shannon Ables

“The beauty of traveling solo is that you wonder unexpectedly, but almost certainly into the direction you were meant to go.”
Shannon Ables

“What self-acceptance does is open up more possibilities of succeeding because you aren't fighting yourself along the way.”
Shannon Ables

“In the moment, you most likely won't know how valuable such detours will prove to be, but life has a way of revealing the hidden magic in these moments down the road at the appropriate time.”
Shannon Ables

“A Romantic builds everyday fulfillment through tenacious observation of daily life and an abundance of reliance on intuition. The result: An extraordinary life lived in ordinary days.”
Shannon Ables

“The beauty of traveling solo is that you wonder unexpectedly, but almost certainly into the direction you were meant to go.”
Shannon Ables

“Being a woman no longer means being silent and subservient. A modern woman is strong, but in a subtle, confident way that doesn't need to be abrasive. A woman's looks can be helpful, but her brains will always propel her to where she wants to go. A modern woman is well-educated; she is up on what is going on in the world around her so that no one can pull the wool over her eyes.”
Shannon Ables
