Flylady and Friends!

This is a special show. We will be playing the audio from the Saturday Conference in Oklahoma. If you were not able to be there don't worry; you can still be a part of that magical day.

After the speech a lovely woman came up to me and said: “I’ve been getting your 365 surprises for a couple of years and I’m sorry to say, I didn’t get “the brat thing” until today!” What had we done differently? What could I say to those who just don’t quite “get it”? It certainly
