Meet the C J Ladies

I�m Marilyn, an un-married mid-50s woman who lives in a modest yet cozy mobile home with my fifteen year old cat, Gizzy. I have no children, work full time and like to travel and hang out with friends. This is the first time I�ve owned a stand-alone home and I sometimes find it almost overwhelming. I didn�t learn housekeeping skills during my early years and have been struggling with keeping a home neat to my perfectionist standards for decades! Can you say �all-or-nothing?� Flylady and my Fly Sisters are teaching me how keep a home (vs house) that is MY haven. I�m learning (slowly) that it doesn�t have to be perfect, and it doesn�t have to please anyone else � only me!! I�m also learning how to let go of clutter. That can be such an emotional trigger sometimes (fear there won�t be enough, guilt over not keeping a gift or discarding something costly, self-doubt over whether I might need that obscure item later). The Flying community encourages me to keep what I love and bless others with the things that may have value to another. They�ve given me permission to outgrow passions (let go of collections) and change over time. They are my Fly SISTERS in so many ways � they listen, laugh, comfort, help, tease, encourage, teach, and share who they are. My name is Gretchen and I live in Weare, NH with my DH and two DS, 4 and 2, and our 14 year old dog, Petie. I have been flying for 4 years now, and a member of Weight Watchers for 4 years as well. I am a firm believer in the 15 minute rule, and that we are never behind, just jump in. PAGE THREE |
