I'm Not Alone

A friend of mine years ago introduced me to the FlyLady by letting me borrow her book, "Sink Reflections."  This book helped me multiple ways.

Here is the first way...

1. I'm not the only one who struggles with clutter and messiness

        I don't know about you, but for the longest time I thought that I was alone in this struggle and that everyone else lived a virtual clutter free life.

      OK, so I didn't think noone had clutter, but I didn't think that they had my level of messiness!  Or if they were messy as children, that they got their act together by the time they were an adult, unlike me.

     Knowing that I wasn't alone was a tremendous help.  The book helped show me that there ARE others like me out this world.

Do you or have you ever felt this way?  Please share in the comments.

Me and Cleaning - Not two words my parents would put together in a sentance

Here I am launching my blog with a confession.  I hate cleaning.  I mean avoid it all costs, run away from, procrastinate from ... OK, you get the picture.

When I was a child, my poor parents and I fought endlessly over my messy room, and I mean MESSY!  I would hide out in the closet or bathroom with a book to avoid cleaning it.

Now as a 41 year old woman, I have learned a lot about myself.  I have learned that one of the main reasons that I avoided cleaning was because I was overwhelmed by the task.  Either I didn't have a place to put everything or the cleaning process was too complicated (granted, this is an ADHD's girl's definition of complicated :)  ).

My cleaning journey is just that a journey.  Come join me on this journey as I share how the Lord is helping me overcome a lifelong battle with a messy and dirty home.
