Is there one room in your home that is always a mess? You’re not alone. A new survey found that 80% of respondents said they have at least one “cleaning black hole” in their home — an area or room that’s always unorganized and in need of cleaning.
And, do you ever feel like you have trouble getting anything done in a day? Take a listen to the amazingly productive story of Meredith Bates, of Colorado Springs, Colorado. She recently had a baby, saved a life and passed her nursing exam all on the same day. Meredith went to the hospital because she was experiencing contractions. Doctors told her she wasn’t ready to give birth and to go and take her nursing exam. Meredith went to a local Starbucks to study. She encountered a woman there having a heart attack. Meredith stabilized the woman until help could arrive. She then went and took her exam. Meredith later went back to the hospital and gave birth to a baby boy named Jack.
