Are You A Fly Lady?

For the last few weeks things have been hectic, slowing down, but still hectic. My calls weren’t getting returned (which never happens!) and emails were piling up because I wasn’t doing much responding juggling being an author, writing, teaching others, and stuff. I caught myself right in the middle, tho. This is 2009 My Harvest year. That is the theme, I reminded myself.

I realized that I needed to create a welcoming space for the harvest. I was losing my structure and support systems and it was only January. So, I got new ones. I joined Flylady which stands for Finally Loving Yourself. They have so much info on that site, but I began on the “Getting Started“ baby steps plan. It is a 31 day plan to creating an easier, better daily existence.

The secret according to Flylady is having a shiny sink! I tried it, and it does make a difference. It’s not just clean, but the site says it is a reflection of how you feel about yourself. Interesting philosophy. Hey, anything to get a clean kitchen and house. This weekend I organized my clothes by outfit and preplanned dinners for 2 weeks. Only 6 dinners, 2 ingredients only, and snacks. Grocery shopping is easier now and I’m more likely to cook and not be stressed out.

They have a Home Blessing Hour, cool gadgets and organizing tools, and so much more. Your outer world is only reflecting back to you how you feel everyday. As soon as I started on my new structure and support systems my world started to reflect back more support. It’s only Day 3 for me. You can join me now by doing the baby steps and keep me posted on how much of a difference it’s making in how you feel.
