National Women’s Day
Posted by: | CommentsThis is from my friend and accountability partner, Marcia, in celebration of National Women’s Day in her country:
In South Africa we’re privileged to have a special day to celebrate women… and it’s a public holiday (9 August).
This year I’ve decided to celebrate women the entire month!
If you’re thinking, "what on earth can we get through in 10 minutes?" Well, if you’re ready with your questions, you’ll be amazed at just how much we can get through.

Simple Ways to Take Care of Yourself

Simple Ways to Take Care of Yourself
I had a survey the other day, and this is the call idea that won the most votes. So this is the call we will start with, since I want to give you what you want.
There never seems to be enough time and all the magazines ask you to do things like exercise an hour a day, fresh squeeze your juice, and meditate 20 minutes morning and night.
We all want to be the best we can be, so what are some simpler, less time intrusive ways we can take care of ourselves – body, mind and soul?
Join me on this content rich call with ideas for making time to take care of yourself, feeling more energetic and centered, and getting rid of the guilt. Practical ideas not "no real person has time for that" ideas. You will also have time to ask questions for your own personal situation.
You will also get a pdf workbook so you can engage with the ideas that you connect with most.
Simple Ways to Take Care of Yourself call, recording and workbook is $7.
Sign up below to register for the call, recording and workbook.

Simple Ways to Take Care of Yourself $7 Wed August 11 and 8pm EST.

Openings for Fall
Having trouble decluttering, simplifying or finishing that project? Would you like one on one accountability and personalized help? Do you feel stuck somewhere and could use support to get through that? How would it feel to be able to move forward on that big goal?
or do one Simplicity Session
Another Declutter Group?
Posted by: | CommentsI wasn’t planning on having another Declutter Group this year. But, I’ve already had several requests. So I may hold another Declutter Group in mid Sept-October if there is enough interest.
Let me know in the comments if you would be interested in a group to declutter with and me coaching the group to maximize your decluttering.
Also I’d love to hear if there are any other groups/classes you would like to see.
Thanks so much!
Get it Done Day Poll
Posted by: | CommentsOnce a month, I plan on having a Get it Done Day each month after a successful one in January.
Do you have those things that just never seem to get done? Things you procrastinate on like organizing a closet, making a difficult phone call or a business report? Get It Done Day is for tackling that to do list.
At the top of each hour we will say what we hope to do. At a quarter after we zoom to get it done. Then at the top of the next hour we say what we have accomplished and get some pats on the back. Accountability and encouragement, my favorite ways to get things done.
Last time we worked Thursday from 3pm EST- 9pm EST. (People come and go throughout that time)
I want to know which days and times work best for you.
To tell me what time works best answer this poll question:

Blog Party
Posted by: | CommentsJoin the Mommy Fest Blog Party from May 12-16 and meet other moms. I plan on hopping around to other mom blogs and would love you to join me! Click on the Mommy Fest link to see how to participate:
As an introduction to the Mommy Fest participants, My name is Beth and I am a 37 year old work at home mom of two teens – a 15 year old young man (when he isn’t acting two) and a 13 year old young lady (don’t even think about calling her a kid).
I blog about simplifying, decluttering , finances and discovering what’s important. I started my first web page in 1997 when my kids were little. I have loved interacting with online friends, some whom I’ve had for 10 years.
I’ve been a SAHM, full time working Mom, part time working mom and love working at home right now.
I’m on a spending fast right now, so visiting all these blogs will give me something to do instead of buying things
For fun, I write, scrapbook, hike, go to the beach, play the piano, get together with friends and take pictures. I have more hobbies than that but they change and shift with time. I also adore reading and am usually reading 3 or 4 books. Do you have any good book recommendations – non fiction or fiction?
Don’t forget to pick up a free declutter calendar in the side bar.
Also, I am giving away 5 Get Things Done Procrastination eCourses. Post in the comments of this post and I will pick 1 a day at random from comments between May 12th and May 16th.

Simplicity Makeover Program
Posted by: | CommentsI am working on a comprehensive program that will help people simplify many aspects of their lives. It should be unwrapped this month. Is there anything you want to make sure I include?
Set Up for Failure
Posted by: | CommentsDo you make sure you can’t win? I was discussing this with a client today.
We sometimes think only huge activities can move our goals forward, but they are so difficult to achieve we will feel like failures if we don’t make it.
But, the small actions don’t seem like enough. Whoppee if we succeed. It was because it wasn’t worth anything.
Do you see how this is setting ourselves up for failure?
If you feel you need to spend an hour in the gym every day to achieve your health goal and miss a day, you feel awful. But, those 6 glasses of water you drank achieving your tiny goal, didn’t seem to do anything. So even though you succeeded you feel like a failure.
I think it is time to celebrate all the little successes that will let us reach our bigger goal.
