Is the clutter in your home so overwhelming you don't know where to begin? Or you do begin and quickly make a bigger mess, get frustrated and give up? Are you waiting for motivation to strike and THEN you'll get it together?  

 Motivation is not going to strike, so STOP waiting for it!  Just get started and guess, what? Momentum will kick in and help you finish the job.  When we look at the big picture, it's easy to get overwhelmed and stay stuck.  In these Saturday morning episodes, I lead you through one very small area of your home to declutter for just 5 minutes.  You won't pull everything out and make a bigger mess, you'll just handle a very small section at a time.  Week after week and little by little, your home will begin to feel lighter. You'll be able to freely open kitchen drawers and quickly find items.  Cleaning will become easier too because you won't be cleaning before you can actually clean.  5 minutes will make a difference! Set your prayer intention to unite your work with Him, pop in this podcast, and set your reward.  Let's get started

****What’s your first thought when the doorbell rings?  Do you excitedly swing open the door to greet the person on the other side or do you turn off the lights, remain silent, and pray they just go away? Is clutter stopping you from opening the door? Even more, is clutter and the fear of having anyone visit, making you feel lonely and isolated?

On May 14th from 7-9pm EST, I’ll be hosting a 2 hour retreat called, “The Visitation Declutter Retreat”.  We’ll begin our time together in prayer as we meditate on the visitation of our Blessed Mother when she visits her cousin, Elizabeth.  We’ll get to know one another, discuss how this Bible passage resonates with us in regard to our clutter.  We’ll join together as like-minded women to break through the challenges of clutter in our lives.  Finally, we’ll get to work on decluttering the area of our home that a guest would see immediately.  You’ll be able to ask me questions and get encouragement from me and the group as we all work to clear space to make room for welcoming guests as Elizabeth did.  The knowledge you’ll gain in this 2 hour retreat will give you the tools to tackle every other area of your home.

The cost is $40 and you can use the link below to sign up.  An email with the zoom link will be sent prior to the retreat.  Please be sure to check your spam folder if you don’t see an email from me by the 13th.  Hope to see you there!

Opening Bible verse: Luke 1:39-45

Inspired by the Lenten Rosary Group and of course...The Visitation.  What is your first thought when the doorbell rings?  Do you hide? Do you quiet the children and pretend you're not home?  Does your clutter make you feel less than, embarrassed, ashamed and isolated?  The happiest people on earth are those that have strong relationships in their lives.  Is clutter preventing you from having those deep friendships?  

In today's episode I introduce my next live via zoom program.  It will be a 2 hour retreat I'm calling, The Visitation Declutter Retreat.  We will gather together on May 14th from 7-9pm EST for faith, fellowship and decluttering. We will focus on the entrance to your home.  The area people see when you swing open the front door.  You'll feel supported, prayed for and encouraged to get some decluttering done in this area.  I'll be there to guide you and answer any questions you may have in the process.  You'll leave with a new appreciation of The Visitation along with the practical tools you can use to declutter all the areas of your home. The cost is $40.  Click here to sign up:

Opening Bible Verse: Matthew 18:20

Lent is meant to be a time of sacrifice and growth in our faith.  Similar to January 1st, we begin with high hopes and good intentions but often fall short of our goals.  However, when we gather together with like-minded women, join forces with God, the fruits of our efforts are beyond our expectations.

In today's episode you'll hear from 6 of the women who signed up for the Lenten Accountability Group.  We met each weekday at 5am EST during the 40 days of Lent.  We tracked our spending, decluttered, sacrificed something we love and added in fun, fitness or friendship.  However, what you'll hear over and over again from these women is that we all found community.  God brings a group together and I couldn't be more thrilled with the gift of these women.  Enjoy! XOXO, Gina

Opening Bible verse: John 19:25

Here is the painting I'm describing in this episode.  Please check it out and let me know your thoughts

Pieta by Daniel Crespi

In both the opening Bible passage and in this painting, our Blessed Mother is standing.  

After all the sorrows you have endured or are currently walking through, fix your eyes on Jesus. Happy Easter

Opening Bible verse: Matthew 26: 40-41

So much goodness in this passage!  You could read this everyday and gain new perspective.  

As Palm Sunday approaches, we will hear the longest Gospel reading of the year.  You've probably heard it every year of your life.  But have you ever really heard it?  We all have a bit of Peter in us.  Peter, James and John famously fall asleep after Jesus asked them to keep watch with him for one hour.  Yikes! 

In today's episode, I ask you to ponder, where are you falling asleep?  If you gave this area of your life just one hour per week, where would you be a year from now?
