Yjis book saved my life

Please forgive typos, I am visually impaired so with tiny print, I cannot see it. This writing could not be enlarged. And someone else had to correct words because it will not let me submit a post until I correct errors it says are there.


As my life filled with a Bipolar 1 Disorder that makes me irresponsible, no impulse control, frustrated, minus patience and I am a perfectionist, plus I was created by God without that organize it gene, my home caused more dissension and chaos, that no one wanted to be around.

This book is what God used for a miracle to change my entire life, my thinking, my attitude, my willingness to change and to stop the chaos of my life. All that has been replaced with an immaculate home like my mom and sister accomplished naturally. I became organized inside and out. I lost 251 pounds from February 2013 until September 2017.

I was able to start a process to control my impulsive behavior with a 3 x 5 card mentality. I no longer. I stopped over spending because up until then, my credit score was below a 4.0 and I needed to put in restraint my overspending. I stopped purchasing things I did not need because impulse control is held inside a responsible, organized and structured way of handling life.

I how could have an immaculate home with time to write, oil paint masterpieces, bake delectable delights, cook dinners that pleased everyone, and my hime was not embarrassing if someone unexpected stopped by. My daddy came over to see me one day, he walked in my home and he said, "I do jot know what you are doing, but you got it right. Your yr home is as immaculate as your mana and sister had theirs."

This book also helped me organize my college study. As I was at the beginning stages of creating a nonprofit to help abused children, I could and did use this system to help me. I planned a menu fir each month so that I had the food I needed then I used a notebook to create a cookbook to organize my eating. and it contained a monthly calendar with the categories from the hook. I also made a grocery list from this because I had the meal, its recipes, and a grocery list of what to purchase. Anyway, this hook helped God help me to change me, how I perceive life, attitude changes and a better perspective.
