    Your home is so clean and organized. There are people living in mini mansions who don't keep their homes as nicely as you do. Your attitude is everything. I really enjoyed your tour. It opened my mind to seeing how attitude makes a world of difference. I know a family living in a very similar style and size townhouse, and all they do is complain about wanting more and trashing the place. It truly is all about HOW you live. ❤

      I agree with this statement. Her home is nice, clean and organized. But there are areas of “the projects” in some cities where there may be a lot of gun violence and gang activity. Where your children can’t even go outside for fear that they might get shot by a stray bullet. It then becomes a matter of “where you live”.

    This reminds me of my home as a kid. We lived in a rough neighborhood in section 8 housing and my mom always had the yard manicured and the house decorated. She always told me to take care of whatever I had, even if it was a shack, and God will bless you with more!

    This just looks like a normal apartment to me, like every place I've ever lived. In fact, it looks huge with a lot of amenties! It is honestly kind of comforting seeing an apartment tour that has the exact same type of kitchen cabinets, fridge, and crappy dishwasher that are in your own and has made it into a beautiful and personal space. I did crack up when you point at the bag of bags! "If ya know ya know!"

    I lived in the projects...back in the 70's, and I remember how clean all the homes were. It was a mark of pride that you kept everything neat and tidy. We had a neighbour, Miss Robins, who gave all the children home baked goodies if we were respectful and in return we ran to the shop for her when she needed something. There was a real sense of community in our neighbourhood.

But the house is excellent, beautiful, well organized and with enough space. You in America usually compete with the houses of movie actors who have 10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms each, which I think is funny because it doesn't serve them anything.

    I can't understand how anyone could think this is anything but a nice, basic, perfectly functional apartment. At 26, when I first lived in a place like this, it was a *huge* step *up* from the kind of places I'd been living in since I'd left my abusive home at 17. The longest I've ever lived in one place was in a one bedroom apartment very much like this one. I lived in it for 12 years very happily. Everyone else I knew had places like this too. Most still do. I only left because I fell in love with a single father who was raising two children, so we needed more space. I was 43 at the time.

    Dignity is not a bank balance. ;) Your space is so calm, and peaceful. I always love spaces like this, because I think of it like when I was a child. When you feel cozy, protected, and that all is well. I lived with no laundry and no dishwasher for almost 20 years. It was such an upgrade to have laundry and a dishwasher. It was a trade off to what I did have at that time. I think as Americans we need to realize how much we really have, in that 2 billion people don't have drinking water. And 750 million people don't have electricity. I've always thought that - not where you live, but how.

She wanted something better too and, with hard work, she and dad built their own warm and comfortable home.

    I grew up in a public housing project. I was born in '72. We lived there from 1979 to 1989. Age 6 to 16. My mother was a single mom with 3 kids. We had the best childhood, and we didn't realize we were poor until some mean kids at school told us so.
    Ours was townhouse style, too. They were built in the mid 1940s, brick design, and by the 70s, they definitely needed an upgrade, which they did in 1999, but 10 years after we moved out. There was always a cockroach problem. My mother kept the cleanest home, but they would find their way through from the neighbors' apartments. They were not fun.
    There weren't any dishwashers or laundry area. My mom would have the washer hooked up right beside the sink. And our dryer was next to our fridge and held our microwave, which was huge at the time. Lol.
    I'm 51 now and a suburban SAHM. I would give anything to go back in time and live one whole day in my childhood home. There is just no one around here to play double dutch with. 😢

      Get a pin & paper. You will be shocked how easy making hummingbird food is. How much less the cost is from buying it. By the way that red stuff is very bad for their bills and causes them to not be able to eat...'Also never use anything other than as hot water will come out of tap for cleaning the feeder. It will harm them. I have feed them for years. The first year you might not have a lot of birds. Do not be disappointed. Each year the number increases. Also never place feeders close to each other, they are a bit territorial. I have a feeder in back & front yard so they cannot see each other LOL. Their battles will amuse you for hours. if are like me. Also, they might not seem to be coming for a while because the scouts for finding food come first. Also, when flowers are in full bloom, they eat the nectar a lot. The proper time is about right after Easter. Or when the nights do not go lower than about 50. They leave in late fall depending on night temp. Or after the first hard frost.
      TO CLEAN THE FEEDER & CARE FOR FEEDER.
      You only need hot water, small dishpan, disposable gloves & a baby bottle type scrub brush.
      Take feeder apart completely. perch's, the food - guards, bottoms or lids. When new just use the hot water method alone. Once have used the feeder. Do it how describe below way.
      emptied-out
      MAKING HOMEMADE HUMMINGBIRD FOOD
      Any sized feeder used you will just need to remember it is always. Two parts water too.1 part sugar. Using your feeder like a measuring cup.
      You will need a well-scrubbed & rinsed saucepan large enough to fit water for the size feeder are using. Just measure the amount of water feeder holds by testing it out before ever using it. Bottled water is best for health of birds as tap water has chemicals. Pour the amount of water need into pan. Turn on heat. Heat the water to almost boiling point. Then just add in granulated table sugar. Do this slowly and be sure to stir it well. You will know is done when it returns to a clear color. Allow this mix to become room temp before putting in put back together feeder now you are ready to hang the feeder. It is just that easy. Always fill & soak sink used in bleach water as are cleaning a bird feeder. Clean counter area in bleach water as well. @@user-dm1pt4ru6e

Showing reality because I’m sure not all people have as nice a place, and if they do, I’m sure many struggle with cleaning, working, taking care of kids and raising them right. You have much to share and you’ll be amazed how your audience grows. You could help others adjust the way they do things to live a best life just by example. No judgement. No preaching Everyone could use help and I can see this taking off. I’m a plus 1 today because I want to watch you take off.

Thank you for refreshing my faith and hope in Father to remember that no matter what, He’s got me. From what you’ve shown here I’d say He’s got you too! Praise be the Most High, His Mercy endures forever! Stay Blessed, dear heart. You’re inspiring to see. Thank you for sharing this.

    Your "project apartment" is a lot nicer than my small house in the suburbs. I inherited it from my father, who passed a few months ago. He was a hoarder so I've got some work to do on it and not a lot of $$ but you've really inspired me. I remember taking a financial class at my church years ago and the elder who was teaching said the goal should be to live at a world class level with whatever resources and income you currently have & it looks like you're doing that. Blessings to you!

    Your home is immaculately clean, uncluttered, organized and decorated beautifully. At this point in the world today, we should all be so fortunate to have a cozy, warm and inviting place to call home. A lot of people aren’t so fortunate.

    Loved this.
    I just want to say I truly see you. A human. A black woman. A mother. A provider. Bless you for everything you are and more.
    Thank you for showing us a bit of your life. Much love.

    You’re so right… I love it. I grew up but never had the interior as beautiful as your home!

    I can tell you're proud of it, and I don't blame you. It's very nice and cozy. And I love the large living room, and the open space between the kitchen and living room. It's a very nice apartment. And I love your attitude. You're so kind and uplifting. Thank you for your great video.

    Hello there
    I am a retired law enforcement officer and often my travels would take me into the "projects."
    I must say most of them were filthy and not kept up as the people living in them just didn't give a damn.
    I must say you are a bright light on the horizon.
    You not only keep your place spotless, you seem to be quite happy with what you have.
    You have turned your place into a palace and are very humble.
    This is the first video of yours which I have seen and ,I plan to watch many more.
    You also bring a quiet peace to where you live.
    I am sure your son is very proud to have you as his mom.🎉

    Your home is clean, organized, cozy, full of love and kindness. So many "affluent" ppl dont have none of that. Your apartment is your castle, and youve made it so. The plastic bags..my mom has hers under the sink and every time we open the doors we have to hurry and catch em all! Youre doing an EXCELLENT JOB!!! Loved the video!❤️❤️

    Hello from a single mother of now-adult sons over in the UK. I love your home! There is NOTHING like having a door of your own to close whenever you want, and to open for friends and family. Enjoy!
