Opening Bible verse: Luke 10: 38-42

We all have stuff we need to get done. That's our Martha side. Mary is just sitting at the feet of Jesus appearing to be doing nothing. Yet, Jesus said that Mary has chosen the better option. What's a girl to do!?!? 

Yes, we have to run our homes and get stuff done but none of that can be taken with us when we depart this earth. What we can take with us is our spiritual life. So we must make time for this. Everyday, we must pause our work and sit at the feet of Jesus to learn from Him, to hear what He has to say to us, to give our response. 

In 2026 we are working through my group coaching program via the podcast. This is your first assignment. To create a morning prayer routine. Get up before your family and pray a rosary or some other exercise that will increase your relationship with God.

Mary is playing the long game, the eternal game. In 2026, choose the long game as often as possible in your housework and in your spiritual life.

On this final episode in our series of practicing hospitality using the 5 senses we have reached sound! It was the sound of Mary's voice that caused John the Baptist to leap in his mother's womb and it was the sound of angels that alerted to Shepards to our Savior's birth. How important is the sound of our home? Music is a powerful, easy and inexpensive way to set the tone of your party or day to day life

Amy Brooks, creator and owner of Catholics Online and the Prayer, Wine, Chocolate Retreat program joins us again today as we declutter the bedroom shared by her twins. 

When we began our Zoom session together, Amy said she was tired and not really feeling excited about our session. That's very real and that's where I am there to help. I got her started and by the time we finished our one hour session, she was so excited to drop off her donation bag before the kids got home from school. Motivation is not going to strike, just get started and it will show up in its' own time.

As of the recording of this episode, Amy had one or two spots still available for the Philadelphia Prayer, Wine, Chocolate Retreat. Here is a link to her website to sign up.

Opening Bible verse: 1 Corinthians 3:10-11

Your basement is some valuable real estate in your home. Is it a dumping ground or is it usable, active space adding value to your home and life?

On today's podcast episode I walk you through 6 easy steps to organize your unfinished basement. 

1. Mark off and clear pathways to mechanical areas and egress window(s). You can use painters tape to clearly define the walkways. 

2. Ask yourself: What do I want to keep down in the basement? Make a list of broad categories. 

3. Assign areas to each category.

4. Do a quick sort of items. Is there obvious trash or donate items? If you are keeping an item, quickly place it in the area in which it will live.

5. Once everything has been placed in its' permanent area, keep only the items you use at least once per year.

6. How will you store the items in this area? Begin organizing on shelves, in bins, etc. You can keep anything you want, it just has to fit comfortably on the shelf or home that you've assigned it.
