Today’s episode is part one, of a two-part episode with Marla Cilley, founder of FlyLady.net, who resides in North Carolina with her husband, Robert and their dogs. Years ago, Marla began using the name flylady in a forum, all because she loved to flyfish and teach others too. Over the years, FLY has come to stand for Finally Loving Yourself–a gift Marla wants you to receive.
Marla has three rules she lives by:
- Don’t sweat the small stuff; what doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter.
- Laugh everyday. Even if it is at yourself.
- Love like there is no tomorrow.
Marla is an author of two books, and leads her online community, which is dedicated to helping others clean and organize their homes and their hearts–to kill their perfectionism and be gentle and loving with themselves.
In this episode Marla shares:
- Her personal mud story of divorce and remarriage
- Her experience through homelessness
- Her struggle with CHAOS and messes (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome)
- Her life-changing moment on New Year’s Day one year
Marla shares how to begin to establish monthly habits:
- January — Shine your kitchen sink every night
- February — Declutter 15 minutes every day
- March — Get dressed to lace up shoes
- April — Make your bed everyday
- May — Move for 15 minutes every day
And together we talk about:
- Killing our perfectionist tendencies
- Investing in incremental change over time
- And allowing God to help us and strengthen us through each day
