I don’t have a lot to say to introduce this one, apart from that tales like this one make all of this loopy made-up job worthwhile. I’m so grateful for the hope I discovered and the hope others can discover.

Hello Dana,

I’ve been mentally scripting this e mail for the final 12 months. 🙂

I’ve recognized about your weblog for a few years and infrequently stopped by infrequently, however I all the time advised myself that once I was “prepared” I’d sit down and browse it systematically so I may be taught all the things the “proper manner” and alter for good. (Ha!)
A 12 months in the past I met a brand new good friend who unexpectedly came visiting to my home (in all its Slob Glory) someday. I used to be mortified and questioning what she should consider me. Earlier than she left, she invited us over for lunch at their home after church that Sunday. As we sat at her kitchen desk a number of days later, she confessed, “I by no means have folks over, however once I noticed what your home seemed like the different day, I knew I may have you ever over at ours.” I discussed your e book to her and that I nonetheless hadn’t learn the copy I’d owned for a 12 months (or two?). She was intrigued and we determined proper then that she would get a replica and we might learn via it collectively. Neither of us thought it will actually make a distinction.

We began texting one another day-after-day with “Slob Studies” together with photos of each space in our homes. We despatched one another quotes out of your e book and your weblog. Time and again, we reminded one another, “The distinction this time is that we aren’t giving up!” That was final November, I feel. I’ll spare you most of the play-by-play (you’re welcome), however there are some issues I feel it is best to know:

Till I met my good friend (and you thru your e book) I had by no means recognized one other Slob. Everybody else I do know is Regular. As I learn via every chapter, I laughed (so much) and cried (sometimes) and nodded enthusiastically as a result of somebody lastly “will get” me and, not solely that, however she’s truly profitable at this entire Deslobification factor!

Dana, you gave me hope. I’m not simply speaking about “hope that there will likely be clear underwear in my drawer” (which there’s, due to you), however actual, fearlessly-moving-forward-with-my-life hope.

(Nutshell Again Story: My husband left us 6 years in the past, once I was pregnant with our 4th little one. It’s been a tough experience, however I’m so grateful for the way our household has seen Jesus’ sufficiency in such tangible methods.)

For the first time in my life, I really feel like a succesful grownup and I’m having fun with the freedom to pursue tasks (like freezer batch cooking, and instructing theater, and homeschooling my children, and being in a play with all of them and . . . life) that may by no means have been potential, a lot much less comparatively stress-free earlier than my Deslobification journey.

My home nonetheless has days (and occasional weeks) of being in Catastrophe Standing, however now I do know the place to start out when it’s time to get issues again below management. Talking of…I have to go do the dishes now. 🙂

THANK YOU.
