About 6 weeks ago I had to face the reality that owning a business comes with a lot of unexpected challenges and expenses. One of those was “how do I work 40 (really 70-80) hours a week and still have time for my kids, husband, friends and family, cleaning, cooking….”
The list went on. I kept falling further behind….
But let’s backup one moment: As I was recovering from surgery I had reached out on a whim to someone on FB for cleaning prices. They sent their pricing and asked a few questions but didn’t push me to make a decision.
….back to the story where I was falling behind….
Despite new systems, asking my own kids to shoulder additional responsibility, I was still trying to figure out how to do it all. The reality is that I can’t. I don’t have enough time.
You may have heard me talk about “building a longer tablet rather than a higher fence” and I truly believe that. When we come together as community to lift one another up, or take a moment to remind someone to stand tall and straighten their crown because they don’t realize it’s fallen crooked, we add value to our lives and our community. So, I remembered that one-off text I sent to “a random cleaning lady”.
Enter Leann of Five Blessings Cleaning Co. (I’ll tag her below!).
The way she came in, cleaned my home from top to bottom, even going the extra mile to snap a picture of the placement of the “fridge stuff” so it could go back exactly where it had been, sans dirt & stickiness.
She cleans at the shop for us, too. If you’ve been in and noticed things are a little shinier than before that’s not your eyes playing tricks. Leann has been helping me chip away at the cleaning to bring my vision for this business to life.
She’s not just the person who removes the dirt & cat fur from my house, she’s become part of our Pine Run Family as well. If you are looking for someone to clean your home (or business!) I cannot recommend Leann highly enough.
Wednesday is her day at my house and it’s the most perfect mid-week pick me up.
