I just finished eating oatmeal from McDonald'st and decided to take a
moment to blog. Have you ever been in a
fierce cleaning mode and had a lightbulb moment? Well, that's what happened. I dunno when the thought hit my brain but
somehow in between hanging the pictures on the wall and getting rid of that unsightly ring around my toilet bowl there was an enlightened thought, There’s nothing greater than
getting up every single day of your life doing what you love to do.
I know it seems weird that I'd have that thought while cleaning the toilet. Nothing could have been further from that truth at that moment. Cleaning toilets is not my thing.
Until today, my house has looked like a cyclone hit it. Except for downstairs that I keep pretty okay with only a few dishes in the kitchen sink, the upstairs was a mess. There were papers still on the floor from Summer Camp for Women, clothes heaped on the dryer waiting to be folded and put away, a ring in my bathroom sink and dirty shower stall, clothes laying around in my closet and a bed I hadn't made for a week. I'm not usually this junky. Ever since I got the aha to launch my businesses, I've been all abuzz building websites, creating brochures, printing business cards, blind to the growing messiness. I could make that the blame for the condition of my house but it wouldn't be completely true. My house has been neglected for a while now. With fresh eyes, I am seeing just how badly I've allowed it to get.
I hear the voice of Purpose. “Let’s make room for your new life," it's saying. "Your home should be a reflection of who you are." Such a huge parallel to my life. I know from experience that if I don't manage my time and what I focus on, I will drift back into an undisciplined and overwhelmed state just like my house.
I can't afford to allow this to go on. Order is the word of the day. With now working two part-time jobs and growing my businesses, I've got to be on top of my game. So, let me get up from here. No more clutter!
