Friend,

Lately, I've become much more sociable. I've been going out more, meeting new people, and spending time in their homes.

One thing has surprised me.

Since COVID, people seem much less interested in cleaning—and much less embarrassed by messes.

I think this is healthier than the old "cleanliness is godliness" nonsense. But let's be honest—there's a line.

If you don't care for your home, dirt accumulates. Bacteria and mold have a chance to grow. Small tasks become big ones. And every bit of neglect makes the next task a little harder.

Here's the thing: your home should be part of your support system, not a drain on your time and energy.

But it becomes a drain in two very distinct ways.

1. You let things go so tasks pile up until you feel paralyzed.

   
   

2. You clean all the time and have no time to actually enjoy your life.

Those are the two housekeeping traps.

I believe there's a third way: put your home on autopilot.

To help you do this, I have two resources to share with you. 

One is my newest article on Substack, where I share stories about my mother, my mother-in-law, and myself. We all cared about having a clean home, but each of us approached housekeeping very differently. 

If you've ever wondered why some people seem to maintain an effortlessly tidy home while others are always cleaning—or never seem to catch up—I think you'll enjoy this story. I hope it leaves you feeling both encouraged and inspired to take charge of your home.

The Real Reason My Home Will Never Be as Clean as My Mom’s

Resource number 2 is a free class. If you'd like to learn the practical side, join me this Tuesday for a free live lesson. I'll share 7 Feng Shui principles for decluttering, organizing, and simplifying that can help Put Your Home on Autopilot. 

Join me on Tuesday June 23rd at 5PM US Eastern Time in my FREE COMMUNITY to get access to the zoom meeting. (It takes two minutes to create an account, if you haven't already.)

The goal isn't a perfect house. It's creating a home that enthusiastically supports your life instead of constantly demanding your attention.

I'd love to see you there!
