We got to talk about a lot of fun and easy ideas to keep your home and life organized. Plus, Marla shares about the inspiration for her next book near the end of the episode, and I got goosebumps when she told me about her visit to the National Shrine of Saint Therese. It's an inspiring and amazing story, and one that you will NOT want to miss :) If you have not yet listened to the first episode, you can find it here. I'm so excited to share this second hour with Marla for today's episode as part of the "Loving your 2016" series. I'm really honored that she shared about her upcoming book, and just blown away by her lovely story around her time in the chapel. In this episode, we talk about: - how she breaks out the zones to cleaning your home - the theme for each day of the week, when using the Flylady method - how to approach having your mother in law come over (enlist her help in cleaning!) - how admitting you need help, and welcoming it, and how that changes your view point - what she keeps in her closet to give as gifts should an event come up - planning out big family vacations, (calendar party) - how to create a relaxed environment around timing when family is leaving - her plans for live events in the spring - revisiting her trip to San Mateo, CA a few years ago - her writing process for her new spiritual book, including her visit to the chapel of St Therese - how Sink Reflections got it's name - a few thoughts on saints Flylady.net - Marla's website The National Shrine Museum of St Therese Marla is the author of "Body Clutter," and "Sink Reflections," both are best sellers, and  I can not recommend them highly enough.

Marla Cilley, founder of Flylady.net, is a true inspiration. I found her site over ten years ago, as I was going through a divorce and knew I needed to find a way to take care of myself and my home.  I had started the search, thinking that I simply needed to find ways to clean and declutter, and to get my life back on track. What I found was Marla's loving wisdom, her "Flying lessons," her support, a lot of humor, a fun community, and a renewed sense of who I was. For this, I'm grateful. I'm so honored to have Marla as a guest for today's episode as part of the "Loving your 2016" series. It was a true joy to speak with her, and to spend time soaking up her love and joy-filled philosophy. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the state of your home, or you've made organizing your life a priority for this year, I encourage you to listen, and to visit Flylady.net for more resources. She offers all of this for free - and you are in for such a treat. In this episode, we talk about: - how Marla arrived at her current zone cleaning process, including the overwhelming amount of cards and lists that she started with, trying to "perfect" an organization process - shining your sink, what it is, and how that changed Marla's life - that two resolutions that started everything - Marla's take on the word perfect (and how she corrects me when I use it!) - the food addiction, and why foods evoke memories and provide an endorphin rush. (along with why Mac n Cheese was Marla's go to food when she got stressed, and why I run for peanut butter and chocolate). - an easier way to clean your bathtub - a great way to keep bathtub toys stored, and Flylady's first viral post on facebook - making cleaning fun - why having a wall calendar is important for organization and teaching our children - why Marla calls "jobs" or chores "blessings" - why it's important to release things that don't bring you joy - the power and importance of complimenting other people Flylady.net - Marla's website Marla is the author of "Body Clutter," and "Sink Reflections," both are best sellers, and  I can not recommend them highly enough.
