    “KEEP IT SIMPLE!” I would love this. I just started a group 3 months ago called Goal Tenders. A group of us set monthly goals and then discuss over dinner our accomplishments at the end of the month. The area I so need to un-complicate is all my home projects that are in different states of incomplete.

    I think every aspect of my life needs simplified. From the time I spend online to the 8 million things I agree to do because I can’t say no and am apparently a gluten for punishment. Balance, balance, balance. It’s my true life goal!
