- Turn off alarm systems. If you choose to leave the alarm armed, we will not be held responsible for false alarms or misuse of the alarm system. No exceptions.
- Have your home picked up and ready to be cleaned. Hourly charged may be incurred if cleaning technicians require more time if your home is not ready to be cleaned.
- If we are requested to dust/clean inside of china cabinets or hutches, start laundry, wash dishes, clean small computer equipment, antiques or collections, or to use customer’s equipment (e.g. vacuum), customer agrees not to hold Clean and Simple Cleaning, Inc. or any of its employees responsible for any damage or breakage to any article or component.
- We will make every effort not to break items, but accidents do happen. We have Limited Liability protection for replacement or repair. Identical replacement will be attempted but not guaranteed.

Letter of Recommendation, Lynda Gragg

January 6, 2018
To Whom It May Concern:

Please accept this as a letter of personal recommendation for Holly Faulk.  I have known Holly for over twenty-five years, both as her friend and former teacher.  Holly is hard-working, honest, and has a keen eye for detail.  She has worked in many fields, but she has exceptional talent for all things horticultural. Holly truly shines when working with plants, flowers, and earth.  Additionally, she is an exceptional server/waitress who goes the extra mile to make customers happy and to keep them returning to the place she works. 
Holly is bright and learns quickly, and she is highly motivated to do well.  She is very capable and quick to figure out what is required of her, and then excel at her given tasks.  While she gets along well with others and can be an asset to any work team, she is very easily able to work well independently too.   
Holly would be a wonderful addition to any place of employment, and I would highly recommend her for any position she might choose.  If you would like to speak to me about Holly, or about this recommendation, please email me at:  lyndagragg@gmail.com.
Thank you,

Lynda D. Gragg

Individuality

"He remembered that she was pretty, and, more, that she had a special grace in the intimacy of life. She had the secret of individuality which excites--and escapes."

Believe only if....

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
― Gautama Buddha

Little Fly

Little Fly by William Blake

Oh Little Fly thy summers play,
My thoughtless hand has brushed away,
Am I not a Fly like thee,
Or are not thou a man like ME?
For I dance and drink and sing,
Till some blind hand shall brush My wing,

If thought is life and strength, and breath,
And the want of thought is death,
Then am i not a happy Fly
If I live or if I die?

When My Mind Is Still

“When My Mind is Still” by Paul Beattie

“When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I remember things too easily forgotten:
The purity of early love,
The maturity of unselfish love that asks -
desires - nothing but another's good,
The idealism that has persisted through all the tempest of life.

When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I can find a quiet assurance, an inner peace, in the core of my being.
It can face the doubt, the loneliness, the anxiety,
Can accept these harsh realities and can even grow
Because of these challenges to my essential being.

When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I can sense my basic humanity,
And then I know that all men and women are my brothers and sisters.
Nothing but my own fear and distrust can separate me from the love of friends.
If I can trust others, accept them, enjoy them,
Then my life shall surely be richer and more full.
If I can accept others, this will help them to be more truly themselves,
And they will be more able to accept me.

When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I know how much life has given me:
The history of the race, friends and family,
The opportunity to work, the chance to build myself.
Then wells within me the urge to live more abundantly,
With greater trust and joy,
With more profound seriousness and earnest service,
And yet more calmly at the heart of life.”
