As the kids go back to school, you can go back to *you*...your schedule, your friends,
your goals. Here are ten simple indulgences to celebrate this season.
1. Invite your girlfriends over for a Back-to-School tea. Have lots of “pamper me”
items in hand. Do you – or any of your friends – know a massage therapist? Ask her to
come and do backrubs. Eat decadent pastries and drink coffee or tea. Catch up on
everything you’ve missed during the hectic summer.
2. Go on a hike or a bike ride all by yourself.
3. Start a circle journal to keep in touch with your friends. A circle journal (aka. “a round robin”)
is a book that goes back and forth among friends, each of whom add a special contribution before passing it on.
Here are more ideas on how to start your own:

business that somehow relates to this
passion. Autumn is a great time of year to get a business started. The kids are back to
school and it’s before the hustle of the holidays.
7. Find or start a book club.
8. Make a brag book or mini scrapbook album depicting 10 things you love most about your
spouse or child(ren). Present it to them as a “just because” gift.
9. Choose a charity that you and your family will support this season. Researching the charity
will be a fun family activity – and then you can brainstorm all the ways you can raise money
for this organization.
10. Know a good soup restaurant? Order takeout tonight. And don’t forget the fresh bread!
