\"\"<\/a>Whenever I get very busy with my business, the first thing to fall into disarray is housekeeping. I’m not a very astute housekeeper in any case. It is usually the last thing on my mind.
\n
\nBut…. when the laundry is piled high and the clutter is piled high, my stress level becomes piled high. It’s like walking through a pre-hoarder house and realizing that you can be close to just giving up and going on A&E in a few months.
\n
\nMy dream is that when Oprah comes to spontaneously knock on my door, I can invite her in to a lived-in, but neat and organized home, where sane people live.
\n
\nHousekeeping is one of my life struggles. It has been since I was a child. I see it in my boys too. And I’d like to be a better example to them on how to keep things tidy. My moment about this is to be hopeful that I will achieve my dream someday (maybe not the Oprah part, but a drop-in by someone) and to work on having a place for everything when I have a moment.
