The Joy of a Healthy Home: Your Sanctuary
Order for Clarity
For me, keeping an organized, clean, decluttered home keeps my mind sharp and calm. Staying on top of my space saves time, energy, and sanity. Letting messes pile up and to-do lists overflow is overwhelming, stressful, depressing. Just imagine walking into a house that’s orderly and clean—it brings peace, comfort, a sense of well-being. As an A+ personality, having my home in order gives me control in a chaotic world.
Maybe you’re swamped by clutter. The good news is you can create a sanctuary that soothes your women’s soul.
Your Home, Your Haven
Your home is your sanctuary, not a place to frantically search, muttering, “Where in the blank did I put that blankity-blankity-blankity-blank-blank?” That chaos doesn’t let you exhale and say, “Ah, I’m home.” A healthy home should feel like a warm embrace. Size doesn’t matter—I made a one-bedroom apartment a cozy haven for four. Simple or fancy, it’s about creating a space where you and your family escape the world.
A Childhood Comfort
I’ve been an avid organizer and cleaner since I was young. Walking into a room with a made bed, clothes put away, and everything in place gave me comfort, no matter how chaotic my day was. It was my refuge, a small act of defiance against life’s mess. That love for order has stayed with me, shaping how I see a healthy home.
Housekeeper Extraordinaire
I worked plenty of cleaning jobs while raising my son and attending college. I earned “Housekeeper of the Month” several times at a hotel and got high marks as an early-morning restaurant janitor. That is, until I walked in one day and saw what I thought was rice, moving across the floor. That was it—I quit, the only job I ever walked out on, and with no regrets.
Helping Others Shine
I’ve always enjoyed helping friends and family organize and keep clean, healthy homes. It comes easily to me and I love sharing ideas to turn any space into a sanctuary. A healthy home isn’t just tidy; it’s where love can thrive. Picture the calm of a space that feels like you.
Tackle the Small Stuff
Keeping a healthy home doesn’t have to be stressful. You can tackle small piles before they grow. Big messes? Don’t get discouraged—take it room by room, bit by bit. Like a holistic living lifestyle, small changes bring big rewards. Start where you are, and the peace will follow.
Live, Love, Make Memories
A home is for living, not sterilizing. Though we may love things tidy, enjoy toys scattered by kids or grandkids (the time is so short, enjoy them while you can) and just encourage them to tidy up when done. Savor the kitchen mess after a home-cooked meal, then get everyone to pitch in with cleaning. A healthy home is where love abounds, filled with laughter and memories. You’re made for a space that’s alive with heart— a home that feels like joy.
