Welcome to this week's tips
Hi Everyone,
Michigan strawberries are here. So juicy. I froze 7 quarts yesterday fresh picked from the field. (We ate the other strawberries with whipped cream, in smoothies and on cereal.)
Cottonwood has been all through the air and
is making trails look like snow.
I had to put a new theme on my website when the old one broke. Let me know what you think. I'm still not quite done tweaking it but here you go: mysimplerlife.com
Do you have a project or something you have been
procrastinating on? I can be your accountability partner for the month. I've been helping someone get ready for their music gig, another stick with exercising, someone else is decluttering and one has 4 different projects she is making progress on.

Weekly Simplicity Tips
If you don't have time to do all 7 tips, pick the one or two that are calling to you. Put them on your calendar or to do list.
When we don't notice the good in the now, we always want more. This week enjoy your food (especially if they
are strawberries) notice the beauty around you, the love of other people, the prosperity and good things you already have.
Raise someone's spirits with your communication this week.
In what area of your life can you slow down?
Be selective with what priorities you define as urgent.
What have you been focusing on lately? Has it been helpful or do you need to change focus?
You probably have a backlog of tasks in your head that you haven't put on paper
yet. Add them to your master to do list (the list where all your to dos are located by category as opposed to today's to do list.)
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 am going to finally finish this organizing project.”
“I am going to finally finish this craft
project.”
2 days later you have already quit.
We all like to think that the promises we make to ourselves hold as much weight as promises made to others. That is what we’ve been told. Good, disciplined people don’t need anyone. When they say they are going to do something that do it. Even if they say it to themselves.
But, the vast majority of people I see accomplish so much more when they are held accountable by someone else. It’s just human nature.
I have my own
accountability partner. We just in weekly to make sure we are on track with personal and business projects and habits. When a week goes by and I haven’t done any work on my ebook, she will ask me about it.
Trying to change on our own is usually less successful and frankly it makes it harder than it has to be.
Although I do email coaching for $80 a month, I was thinking some people may not be looking for coaching, just some accountability. So I created a little email accountability
package for you.
How it works:
1) We pick your 1-4 habits or projects.
2) You will check in 1-7 days a week through email or Facebook chat with what you want to do and what happened, depending on how much accountability you want.
3) I will follow up if I don’t hear from you.
If you want to do this is conjunction to the simplicity ecourse or procrastination course, I will send those out free of charge.
The cost is $35 for the month so you have some skin in the
game (Paying a little cash plus accountability = better chance of success). I had to raise it by $5 because I found myself doing some coaching as well and answering questions.
This will be a non-recurring $35 so at the end of the 30 days you can decide if you are done, having completed your goal or do it again for another project or habit.
I only have enough capacity to take on 10 of these email accountabilities.
