Many of my clients in their intro session think that there is no way they can live a more peaceful and simpler life. They’ve been going along and not making any progress, sometimes for years. But, as my clients find out, there are always ways to improve your life. The key is to look for what is working and what isn’t. Sometimes it’s helpful to get an outsider view, like a coach. When you are in the midst of your life, it’s hard to see things.

I really want you to know that there is hope. No matter how overwhelmed you feel right now – it can get better.

Raise your awareness this week about what isn’t working in your life right now. Then you can take steps to make things work better. Awareness is always the first step.

My habit was to use the back massager or neck release tool every evening. Fall is prime migraine season for me and I am hoping this will help.

I feel like I have established this habit. I didn’t miss any days and my daughter is using it now too

If you haven’t signed up but want to create a new habit this season – it’s not too late.

The ecourse will help you stay focused and accountable for your new habit.

This 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.

Trust me – I am not in the least bit offended if you jump in immediately after saying hello

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.

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?

Become a Client

or do one Simplicity Session

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!

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:

Mommy Fest Blog Party

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.
