One Balanced Life

I spent the weekend alone...in my house. It was amazing. I am always talking about asking for the support you need and I needed time in my house to clear the clutter.  My husband took the kids for 48 hours and I took on the list (some work, some house, and some personal stuff). The weekend was wonderful and I feel completely re-energized by it.

One of the things that occurred to me is the desire to simplify - my home, my work, and my finances. And a way I do that is to ask myself the question before I agree to something or purchase something is this something I need or want? So faced with Halloween and needing costumes for the kids I was about to run out to Target when I paused and asked myself if the kids really needed "new" costumes. The answer was a clear NO. So instead I checked out Goodwill. They have a ton of great and cheap costumes. I feel better about buying used and not spending a ton of money on "new" costumes. And the kids could care less. They had a blast.

I encourage you to think about how you can simplify your life today?
