I have a new hero.

And her name is Hellen Buttigieg.

Last night, in the oblivion that was Monday night television, I ran across my new favorite show on the Discovery Home channel. It is called neat. And it is just that.

This woman Hellen comes into disheveled homes and de-clutters them. She makes people throw their stuff away and make room for themselves (and, ultimately, happiness). Keeping knick-knacks and mementos and crap not only clutters your house, it clutters your psyche and your well-being. Give away that old sweater--putting it in the charity pile will free you!

Ok, so some of it was a little cheesey (like her lectures about holding on to the past/being afraid of the future) but overall it was a marvelous waste of 30 minutes. So much so, in fact, that it is now on permanent DVR record status.

Be still my OCD heart, Hellen has a Certificate of Study in Chronic Disorganization from the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization (NSGCD). And she is a life coach. I need to be her.
