Welcome to this week's tips
Hi Everyone,

It's finally warming up here so I took a few walks. My husband made me a wooden, screened in, elevated box for my plants. It even has doors. Brea didn't have time to take the pictures off the camera, so no pictures this week.

We went out to lunch with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law for Mother's Day after seeing my Mom and Grandma last weekend. I found concentrating on them makes Mother's Day less hard on me with my son's loss. If Mother's Day is difficult for you the meme below is for you.

Weekly Simplicity Tips
  1. Where in your life are you being too hard on yourself and need some gentleness?
  2. Attach something you want to do with something you don’t want to do. (Like browsing a bookstore after you go to the dentist.)
  3. Practice communicating sincerely without the mask.
  4. Get energy by doing the one thing on your to do list that scares you. Even if it is only starting it.
  5. Remember, how you are being affects others in your life.
  6. What is the next right thing to do?
  7. Do something fanciful, silly, or whimsical today.

The Change Your Relationship to Time Class Quick Summary

This class is a 4-week class of teaching and interaction.


We’ll have four classes in my private chat room to change your relationship with time. If you can’t make the classes, a transcript will be sent within 24 hours.

You’ll connect with others at our weekly class and in a private Facebook group. Often people continue to encourage one another after the classes are done.

You will have your own workbook to go through to help you take practical action.

You will leave the class feeling less pressured, less stressed and more fulfilled.

Get what you need to live life with more peace and serenity.

Classes are 8pm ET time on Mondays. If you can’t make the class, join us on Facebook and read the transcripts.

And I will answer each of your questions on our chats or in Facebook. Situations are personal, lives are personal and your relationship with time will be personal.

Just the other day a friend and I were lost in Grand Rapids, MI. She said, “I am so glad you aren’t getting all upset that we will be late for the concert.” Time just isn’t a concept I like to get upset about anymore.
