Join Rosetta for this great conversation to learn how you can create your own peaceful haven in your own home. Your home can be a place of beauty and peace and solace for your family Even if you don't feel you are woman who is good at decorating or matching colors, Glenda Vance says you can learn how to make your home a peaceful place that invigorates and refreshes you and your family. In this conversation, Rosetta takes a deep dive into Glenda's personal experience and asks her for very relevant and practical ways that black women today can transform their homes into the place of peace that they want and need them to be. Decluttering is powerful. You can't get organized without removing the things you don't need One of the very first steps Glenda Vance recommends for creating a beautiful and peaceful home is to declutter. She says that you can't get organized and beautify your home until you remove the things that you don't need, the things that no longer serve you. It's a difficult process but one that is essential for the beautification of your living space. Find out how Glenda recommends you get started decluttering your own home, on this episode of Happy Black Woman. Order is heaven's first law. An orderly home allows us to live a more heavenly life Somewhere in her past, Glenda Vance was told that order is Heaven's first law. To her, that means living an orderly life is a reflection of how things are in heaven. The resulting beauty and harmony that comes from that kind of living it directly reflected in the decor and organization of the home. That idea was very curious for Rosetta so she asked many questions about how it is true and what it means for the way we decorate our homes. You'll enjoy hearing Glenda's answers on this episode.
