Ok, I admit, I am a MESSIE... I throw stuff down wherever it lands, I "stuff and shove" in a hurry to make my home presentable, I loose things continuously, I have too much and I am overwhelmed by it all!I really hate the clutter around me, but haven't known how to change and make it stick.
I've read other books and still hold to much of what I have learned there, but I NEEDED to learn more, more about myself- what makes me tick- and how I can work with my own unique personality (Ok, so not so unique after all!) to not just "clean the house"-- but to kick the messie habits and reform.
I am in the process of "recovery."Cleaning out places that haven't seen the sunlight in 10 years.I am learning (with Sandra's help)- to SIMPLIFY, SORT and STORE- sounds easy doesn't it?NOPE!but easier with her help and tutoring.
This book is part of my journey- not just to a presentable house today, but to a truly peaceful home and lifestyle. I recommend this book to anyone who has tried and failed and is ready to try again.
