Packing list is here dianedenmark.com/2022/08/28/your-packing-list-ready-set-september-virtual-retreat/ And in order to have some fun and get to know each other, comment below!

My pom pom wish would be to have our current house sold for a fantastic price and all the contents magically transported to our new property in New Mexico and set up in our new house (which we haven't bought yet!).

Thanks Diane for this virtual (re)treat 🎉🎉🎉 I am about three days worth of work away from listing my house made easier by being a young Flylady. I have donated three packed SUV loads and today the fourth should be packed ready to go on errands day. Due to my 42 years history of MS (I am 62) my plan is to sell my home and move to an apartment in the city I grew up in. The apartment I am hoping to move into has a swimming pool/gym perfect for me as I have cut back on my swimming because I am 65 km away from the closest pool. So that’s my dream Diane and I will now finish my cup of tea and get back to sleep as it’s just after 4am here. My outfit is ready to go and I will start my weekly home blessing when I wake up. Congratulations to all who are joining this retreat - may each and every one of you attain your goals🎉🌷💐🧽 🧹 💐🌷🎉

Check out Anthony William for your MS. He has dedicated his life to help those with chronic disease❤️good luck!

I would walk out my door onto a screened porch with comfortable seating, candles, lovely plants, a small fountain and a woodland garden surrounding the porch.

Your pom poms would bring my kids and grandkids all living within a short distance of our home. They all live so far away! Thank you, Diane, for this virtual retreat!

As a senior who worked till I was 70, wish I looked after me and not everyone else. Make me be important. My wish. Hugs

My six year old and I are watching this together. She said she would wish for a unicorn!

Thank you for inviting us all to this retreat. My pompom wish would be living close enough to the sea so I can go swimming in it every day.

This is going to be a great week! My pom pom wish is to have more energy to do the things I need and want to do.

Right now, my pom pom wish would be an in-house chef preparing all of our meals, lots of veggies, grilled meats, chilled sparkling wine on the patio...and somebody to do the dishes too!

Your magic poms poms would bring my parents safe from Australia to the USA for a visit without any viruses spoiling the visit!! You are a wonderful cheerleader. I had a lot of fun yesterday putting together my pamper bag - thank you for that idea!!! 🥰

My magic Pom Pom wish . . . to have all the little projects around the house finished !!

Good Morning (7:00am) here! Notebook in hand House: 3 Self-Care: 5 10 Minute: Gathered and started a LOL 10 Minute Self-Care: Watching your video this morning! Magic Pom Poms: A welcoming home.

Hope every one else is also having a lovely time on our virtual Re-Treat! Did a good scrub on the microwave then a nice lotion on my feet and massaged them with a tennis ball. I have my outfit for tomorrow along with a pair of earrings I haven't worn often. ** I am currently living in an RV and in between homes. Due to our limited space, I need to set up and tear down (and store) my entire work station every time I work and it's stifling productivity. So, my magic POM POM wish is for a permanent work space all set up and ready to work whenever I want! Come on magic Pom Poms!!!😄

Thank you for this retreat, Diane. If I had magic pom poms, there are two things I would wish for. One is for a new home. We have been looking for something we can afford for over a year. The second thing is that my health would improve. I'm having serious problems right now and I would like to be well enough to take care of my husband and my home the way they should be. Can't wait to see day 2 tomorrow.

I love the pamper basket! I have all my pamper things all over the house. Let’s see if I can make space somewhere for a basket of things. Excited for this week! My Pom Pom wish is to have the energy again that I need to do all the things I need to and want to do. “See” you tomorrow!

I just watched this a day late, not intending to join…but your enthusiasm got me off my behind and I put on a face mask and eyebrow dye while I picked up a few things and now finish my last few sips of coffee. Thanks for the reminder that it’s not “all or nothing”!

😆 haha - I was one of those sat watching without a notebook but your persistence paid off 😂. Notebook and pen retrieved. Love the pamper basket idea. See yo7 tomorrow 🥰

I would wish for a little house with a garden, so my son can play outside anytime he likes. And I can have a nice cuppa seeing him happy 💖💕

“I’ll be waiting…..with my pom poms”🤩🫣Thank you ❤️for your virtual retreat and all the great ideas and reminders. My magic pom pom wish would be (an always clean and organised home, with meals that cook and clean up themselves) an interlinked elevated tree walkway bridge to one of the 5 x 40 meter Angophera trees ….via the kitchen…to outside my home. The trees (magically) would be full of tree hollows for the parrots to nest in. It takes a hundred years for trees to form big enough hollows for large parrots and the local Power Owl to nest. In reality I am figuring out making wooden nesting boxes according to species needs and dimensions.

Pom pom wish for the energy of a child and a pain free body, with that I could make my other wishes come true myself! Thanks to you, Diane I've had a pamper basket on my coffee table lower shelf for couple years now and it DOES make self care a no-brainer. Looking forward to this week.

I adore her! I love that she has a book about punk music in her pamper basket and that she used to have her own fan zine. ❤

What would we do without you, Dear Diane?! Loving this (Re)Treat plan. My pom pon wish is to purchase the land once owned by my grandfather next to my tiny postage-stamp-sized property on my childhood lake in Maine, then transform it into our cozy getaway for downtime, recharging, and visiting my mom.

I would be in the cloister of an Italian convent, being drawn to the chapel by the sounds of the sisters singing Daily Office.🗣🎵😍

Diane, this is great timing for me. Turned 50 this year and my body is doing "all the things" to make me feel pretty rubbish just now! Tempting as it is to ask for energy or better health, my true magic pom pom wish would be a baby grand piano (in a sound proofed room!) so I can re-learn to play after far too many years. Thanks for coming alongside us to cheer us on and offer that bit of support that we sometimes need. Hope you feel supported, too. :)

....to have a flower filled, green haven for a back garden, to step out into each morning.🦋

Really enjoyed this video! Simple but so effective ☺️ And yes my wish for the magic pompoms is a house that self cleans itself 😛

We just had triple glazing installed throughout our very exposed hillside house - woo hoo! But now I have to clean everywhere! Bring on the magic pom-poms.

Diane this is brilliant, I'm needing this a boost after recently moving into my new home. 💖

Your pom poms would make me a stay at home mom so that I can spend more quality time with my family, doing more of the work I am most passionate about 😃😃. And you are definitely the most motivating person on the web. Such a beautiful light ✨.

House, 8 Self, 6 My pom pom wish would be to have my children living closer and for grandchildren to love & teach & share my ✝️ faith. Self-care for today is to stream the movie "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris".

My pom pom wish is that my 85 year old ma has a safe successful operation on Wednesday to remove lump and a few lymph nodes effectively, and recovers well and is still giving orders and pottering around the garden at 90. Get a mammogram, lovelies! She arranged mammogram herself at 85, and has been seen so quickly and is having operation so soon. Elderlies are important. Love to NHS! Xx

Aww, this is wonderful Diane, thank you! I've done my 10 minutes of housework and have just made some coffee to begin my 10 minutes for me. My pom-pom wish would be for my husband as he has covid and has a bad run of it. Healing ra-ra-ra would be perfect!

Diane, I have had very stressful times with my parents living far away, teens and my own midlife problems. Starting this on Thursday in april 2024 as it is great to have you motivate me. A virtual friend with such s motivating pep talk. Will buy some nail varnish remover to get my toes redone. And I wish I had a horse in my back garden. Nothing fancy, just a four legged friend to have adventures with ❤ may the Danish hygge be with us all always 🎉

You certainly are the best motivator Diane! Such a daily inspiration, thank you ❤

I would love a big garden and a lake, where my dog could run free and the kids could go on an adventure. ❤️

Thanks again for doing this retreat!!!🌼. My pom pom wish would be for peace in my heart and mind. I would love also to have a clean, cozy home that I could easily welcome folks into at any given moment. I'm too embarrassed by my messy house to let my son have his friend over! I can go to someone else's home and not care if it's messy, but I don't want them to see my mess!! I found you a few years back, and did have good results with fly lady system, but never implemented it completely. I can only imagine how awesome things would be for me if I would have stuck with the system and used more aspects of it!!!! You are such a breath of fresh air! Have a beautiful day!!!

Thank you Diane 🌷 if I had a pom-Pom wish, I’d wish that I finally had some self discipline to accomplish things I want to do.

My Pom Pom wish is that I would find loving homes for my foster cats/kittens.

I wish I had a porch on my house to enjoy my yard more (bug free), but it is in the plans long term. 10 min for the house is done and 10 min for me is planned after work. Thanks for the retreat!

I know it’s summer but I would wish to sit and watch heavy peaceful snowfall please 🌨☃️🌨

Diane you never fail to lift my spirits and brighten my day. Was feeling down, now with my pom pom wish I am feeling better...a cottage by the sea and good health and spirits to enjoy it. See you tomorrow. Thanks ☺

I'm watching this on Tuesday with a cup of coffee. I've started my weekly home blessing hour (a day late because of appointments yesterday) and am taking a break before I put the clean sheets back on the bed. My magic pom pom wish would be to be able to double the size of my vegetable garden and have drip irrigation put in. I am excited to see what the week brings! Rah, rah, rah!

live on the ocean edge to see sunrise, sunset, and the beautiful stars and hear the waves and the birds and smell the sea.

You sure are the best, you really have changed my life, thank you 🥰👍🏻

Aww, thank you so much, Sally-Anne!

Diane, you are our cheerleader!! Thanks to you and Steph from The Secret Slob, I have my routines down for the most part. Your magic pom poms I would wish for now pain in my knees so I can be better at physical fitness. You are such an inspiration ✨️ looking forward to this virtual retreat 😊

Oh how I love your motivation Diane! You are the best! 💜

I’m definitely along on this retreat. Lots of fun 😁 My wish would be a gardener to help me look after our 5 acres. It’s a lot of work and my 68 year old body is aching tonight.

I would love for your pom poms to send me on a vacation to a small cottage by the sea where it’s beautiful, safe and relaxing…all by myself… for a month! I have not had a vacation for over 15 years. Diane…take me away! Please!

So many options for the Pom Pom wish!! Of course, I want my kids and husband to be happy and healthy, etc. But assuming all of those big things are taken care of, I would wish for a second home: a cabin in the woods with a lake nearby or a beach house; a lovely getaway for rest and relaxation. 😍

Your magic pom-poms would bring me and my family a beautiful little farm not far from where my family lives. A few acres to grow vegetables in and have some animals: chickens, ducks, horses and a goat or two. Somewhere where I can just open the doors in the morning and let my kids out to play. Where we can spend most of our time outside, together, working on projects and just living a fulfilling life.

Your pom-poms would reveal a post card that says ‘Congratulations on your retirement’ would be amazing.

Even something as awesome as your desire to help us all and the "magic" of the pompoms, can't have the onething . . .a loving relationship! BUT your cheerfulness, enthusiasm and encouragement help so, so much! Love ya!

I'm really excited for this week! I was looking for a nice week long series to watch every day, and found this one on the playlists!! Woo hoo!! 🌷 My wish would be for me to be able to do (something specific) that I want to do, and everyone in my life to accept and understand. ❤

You are indeed an excellent motivator. I watch one of your videos and, without any effort at all, I am on the go doing all the things you suggest!

Thank you for this ReTreat! Looking forward for all the week along with your energy and motivation! My pom-pom wish would be to have a happy and healthy family. Thank you for bringing so much energy-you help and bring joy in many, many lives-and Yes, you can say you are the best coach!:) A big hug to You and All in this lovely community!:)

I would like a landscaper to come and pull all my weeds, plant flowers, mulch and mow the grass! Thanks for this Virtual Retreat! I really need it, even though I am starting a few days late.

I’ve been fantasizing about having an open shower/bath outside! Thanks for the reset week!!

I’d have my friends over for a lovely afternoon tea ☕️ 🧁

Greetings from northern Germany 👋 My pom pom wish would be that I could acknowledge the progress I made over the last couple of years when it comes to housekeeping (instead of focusing on all that could still be better 🙈!). On a lighter and more practical approach I would like the needed renovations to be done 🏠🧑‍🎨✨️ (really don't enjoy taking wallpaper down but also can't afford to pay a carpenter).

Thank you so much! This is perfect timing 😄 My pom pom wish would be to live by the sea (I live in Switzerland, which is lovely but unfortunatly landlocked)

Thank you Diane for your support. You make things look lighter in your own way. As for what I'm wishing for, so far I've been wishing for health for my family. Today I wish my house next to a beautiful lake and drink my coffee looking at it.

I would be at my favorite home town North Sea beach, peaceful, waves, wind and birds, just for the afternoon (it’s 1000km away) Thank you for this special retreat 🙏❤️

One wish for me would be to have a beautiful garden retreat in my backyard. Thank you Diane for all your hard work. You are improving the lives of so many.

Shake those magic pom poms for me, Diane! I'd like to open my eyes to find myself living in a beautiful, cozy home on a quiet lake where we can swim and paddleboard/kayak and my kids can go fishing and explore nature right from our back door!! (And somehow this home is still magically within walking distance of the kids' school! 😉) 🪄✨

My pom-pom wish is for better sleep and to wake up refreshed in the morning!!

Love this extra bit of focus and motivation! I would love to open my eyes to a beautiful cooking garden with every kind of herb and lots of flowers for making arrangements in the house.💐🌺🌸

My Pom Pom wish would be transported to each of my grammas home and spend the day with them. I miss them so!

My pompom wish is a plane ticket to see my mom and dad! I haven’t seen them in a loooonnnggggg time... Anyway, thanks for the motivation, Diane! You’re the best!🤗

Oooh, bring me a beautiful sunroom off the kitchen of my house where I can read and relax in.

Excited for this week!

I love this. Just what I need right now!

Outfit for tomorrow done 😀, so off to a good start. Thanks just the boost l needed x

Diane! I LIVE THIS! To be clear, I love all of your videos. We are likely close to the same age. But when I want you I feel like I'm listening to a very wise aunt. I love you. Have a wonderful day! Rah rah rah!

That’s quite a hard question but I would probably wish for a home with a view of the ocean to wake up to every day. That would be amazing. Gonna try and get some self care in this week 😊

A fellow ocean-lover, good one, Becky!

This came at the perfect time. I have followed you for a long time and you just seem to know what to say. I have always been a bubbly person but lately I have struggled. We moved in January from our home of 27 years and even though this is a nice house I just haven’t adjusted. I am 72 years old and I was a #2 when it came to my home and less for myself. My wish would be that my hair would quit falling out and come back in so it would look good like it did.

So amazing thanks. Hugs.

My wish would be that my kids help out with the basics around the house... lovingly and with a smile and helpful attitude 😊

Your pom poms would take away my anxiety forever!

Starting a week late. 🙂 Magic Pom Poms Fun: My own mountain cabin (with electricity and indoor plumbing, of course. Ha! Ha!) that I could go to every weekend.

Such a motivating video!!☺

Just what I needed to start off the new year in my brightest possible spirits!

You are so fun and upbeat!

What a wonderful idea Diane 🥰 Your magic pompoms would change the world instantly. Everyone is happy, healthy, dancing and having fun. There is peace, togetherness, harmony and a lot of sharing. Enough for everyone. People are in touch with their hearts and with nature again. I couldn't be happier. 😇 You have to dream big right ❤️☺️

This was really helpful. I didn't feel like doing anything. I wrote everything down. I did 10 minutes after watching your video. My desk and floor were a mess. I am always so surprised how much can get done. Then I read for 10 minutes. It was great. It actually motivated me to get my kitchen area done. I still want to work on the bonus. I missed whatever the pamper basket video was. I can't wait to get to the next video.

I forgot to write the wish. I said a portal to England where I could walk around and see the old buildings, maybe in Oxford?

It would be great to have all the maintenance done on our home. Thank you for all the motivation! This is just what I needed this month. 🙂

Love a good retreat! Just moved so I would wish that every room was just freshly painted with the perfect colors for me.

Your Pom Poms would mow the lawn and weed the garden so that family and friends could relax and enjoy being outside. The planting of flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetables would be more fun.

We just got home from our summer vacation and since we rented out our home during that time it's not only a lot of washing but also putting back all the things we put away for our guests 😅unbelievable amount of things to do for getting our home back to the stage it was before 🙈but your retreat is the perfect Addition to make sure that everything is getting done in Babystepps without burning out 😍 I saw that you started the series last week and was looking forward to start it today. Thank you so much!

Oh thank you!! Perfect timing. My daughter is going off to school soon and it’s the perfect time to get life in order before winter. I’ve been enjoying our summer outside and I feel behind. I appreciate the Pom Pom shake. My dream is to have a more relaxed pace to life. I live in the Pacific Northwest and love nature. My front door would open to a mountain bike trail with a tree lined view.

My wish is to have a pool in my backyard 💦I have discovered that I love pool exercise! Thanks to you, who helped me to be brave and just try it. 🏊🏻‍♀️

Thanks for leading us on this virtual re-treat. My magical pompom wish is for a backyard playground with zones for a swing set, meditation, exercise and hammock for napping! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!!

This is such a fun idea! My pom poms would bring me a yard with a peaceful garden and a cozy swinging chair!

I would have a custom built multi-purpose creative arts studio next to my house! Thanks Diane, your cheer squad makes us feel so good!

My pom pom wish would be a shaded niche, in a corner of my back garden, that smells of fresh air and honeysuckle, a comfortable Adirondack chair in which to read, embroider, or just daydream that is preferably free of biting flying insects. My kitties snoozing nearby and just everything around me is peaceful.
