Welcome to this week's issue of Weekly Simplicity Tips. This weekend I visited my family as I celebrated my birthday.

A couple weekends ago we went around Michigan to looks at the trees.

1. Re-set a boundary with someone or something that has gotten fuzzy.
2. Create a time daily for quiet time, even if it's 5 minutes.
3. Where do you feel hemmed in and not free? Is there anything you can do about that?
4. Think of all the positive achievements you made recently.
5. Set up a time to chat with someone you haven't spoken to in awhile.
6. Check on your projects - are they making progress? Do you need to drop any for the moment?
7. Declutter stationary that you no longer like. Maybe someone else would use it.

Why Do You Need a Retreat?

I had a lovely retreat the other weekend that always renews me.

Ask yourself: when was the last time I took time alone?

Have you been stuffing down feelings trying to keep it all together?

Do you want to escape your life for a little while? Does everyone seem to annoy you?

Do you feel hollowed out mentally, spiritually or physically?

Are you in the midst of transition and change? Or have a decision you need to make?

Perhaps you have felt you have lost yourself under stacks of to do lists and other people's expectations?
