Celebrate the Little Things

Recently, while cleaning in a client’s home he asked me if I had a moment to listen to a story. I thought to myself for a moment, “don’t you know that I am busy?” What he began to say was priceless…
Last year his children had a bus driver who was verbally rude, would play explicit rap music during bus routes and threaten to stop the bus if the students acted up. This bus driver was later reprimanded for his actions. Now, fast forward to this school year.
This year the kids received a new bus driver. He is a retired gentleman who decided ahead of time to mail out letters to all the children introducing himself. In the letter, he included a Lance Armstrong LIVESTRONG bracelet and Culvers gift card for each of the kids on his route. In addition, he personally met the parents before the school year began. What an extreme contradiction in care! What is life about…it’s the little things. Celebrate them.

Mustard Stain Removal from Silk
To remove a mustard stain from a silk garment, if the garment is washable silk, first rinse in cold water. Then gently rub a protein hair shampoo or a liquid enzyme detergent, such as Era, into the stain and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Soak 12 hours in soapy water. Rinse well. Don’t twist or pull. Handle the silk gently and hang it to dry. If the silk is not washable, have the garment dry cleaned.
