Dirt


A book about cleaning?? Could it be true?? As I’ve posted, my twice yearly ritual of cleaning my apartment within an inch of its life is one of my most satisfying, mood-lifting rituals. I love make-over, clean-house shows because it gives me the same pleasure vicariously.  

I’m kicking myself for not thinking of doing this book first!

But Mindy Lewis, a great writer, has beat me to the punch and edited a collection of essays which “offers a multidimensional look at the universal challenge of keeping our stuff, our dwellings, and our personal space clean and uncluttered. How we feel about keeping house speaks volumes about our roots, relationships, and our outlook on life.”  Oh yeah.

An interview with Mindy is here.

Congratulations, Mindy!!
