Welcome to this week's issue of Weekly Simplicity Tips. And a special welcome to the readers from Kind Over Matter. This was a great weekend with nothing going on. So Saturday I spent relaxing, renewing and reading. And Sunday I caught up on email, laundry & paper.

And take a look at the Declutter Group giveaway below.

I also tried my hand at digital scrapbooking for the first time.

I started a new series called Moving Towards Simplicity Questions. I believe one of the best ways to get to the core of what’s important to you and to travel the road towards simplicity is to ask the right questions. So I am starting a series called Moving Towards Simplicity. You can answer these questions in your journal, in the comments below or at the MySimplerLife Facebook page.

Question #1: Why do you want a simpler, saner life?

Question #2: Who are you?

Question #3: What do you bring to others?

Declutter Group Giveaway, ends Friday

Does I haven’t done this before, but thought it would be fun to give away one spot in the Declutter Group which starts April 23.

You want a simple plan, that will integrate into your busy life and will solve your clutter problem.

So I have created the: 6-Week "Get a Handle on Your Clutter" Group. I love simplicity as most of you know, so I didn’t want this to be a complicated, time waster.

Instead I have laid out the plan step-by-step in an easy to use workbook.

With weekly chats in my chat room and message boards for daily challenges with one another you will get the support and encouragement you need to keep on going. You are definitely not the only one struggling with your home.

So how do you enter?

Just post at this blog post: http://www.mysimplerlife.com/blog/declutter-group-giveaway
about why you want to join the Declutter Group. Don’t worry it’s not going to be judged. *shudder*

I’ll be picking a name randomly with random.org. I will be choosing Friday and will email the winner.

Your Simpler Life Bundle

1. Create a budget for your next vacation and start saving.
2. Remember money is just energy - it's not good or bad. It only has the value you give it.
3. To make the good times feel like they last longer, savor and use your senses to slow down time.
4. How is your focus? How much stimuli do you have going? TV, ads, computer games, emails, cell phones.
5. Share something you feel shame about with a compassionate friend and watch the shame drift away.
6. Are you doing something right now, just to gain approval?
7. Worry is negative anticipation instead of anticipating good things. Take action instead of worry.

I help the overwhelmed create saner, simpler lives. I deliver...

Untamed possibility. Breathe easier simplicity. Hope.
On the wings of understanding and encouragement.
Step by step breaking down from “no way! “ to “why not?”

I’ve helped people declutter & organize, lose weight, learn to manage time, gain self-confidence, learn to focus, practice self care and simplify their lives so they can do what’s most important to them and their family. I love giving hope to people that come to me thinking it can’t be done. I was not born organized, I’ve had to learn the skills. Things like overcoming perfectionism and procrastination. And knowing what is for dinner before 5pm.

You can check out all my programs and courses here to help you with your goals this year:
