Please note: this website is under construction. More content and design changes are in the works!

UPDATE: In the process of detoxing and decluttering my own life, I realized that what I need most right now is simplicity! So, I decided to merge my www.rebeccacliogould.com site with the new www.detoxyourlife.info site. But after 13 years of being in business, and some recent (and upcoming!) changes, I’m being very mindful about what I bring in to this new space. Therefore this website might be “under construction” through the rest of 2020. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, just contact me or visit my old website by clicking here. Thanks for your patience during this time of transition and change! :-)

The strangest thing happened the other day…. Within less than five minutes of raking leaves, I found myself thinking something I never thought I’d think…

K.I.S.S. and Keep It Simple With This Blog

Keeping it simple is sometimes easier said than done. But the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Sweetie) idea is a helpful mantra for a recovering perfectionist like me.

As I prepare to publish Detox Your Life, the book, and to develop this site and start blogging here…

Working on my next book! I thought today would be a writing day, but I was feeling a bit stuck from feeling some overwhelm and lack of clarity. I thought I could skip over some of the organization steps in the Get Your Book Done process. But no! 😅 S
The blue hadn’t totally washed out yet, but I felt eager for red! Wasn’t expecting pink! But that’s fine. I like it! :) I love my natural hair colors too, but I’m having fun experimenting with these overtone samples I got. :)
Today I went for a walk without Buddy! 😱 Shocking and rare... But it was so good. It was my “artist’s date” for the week. And it was such a good reminder that solo walks used to be a big part of my creative process, especially whil
