She is such an inspiring woman who God has apparently chosen for himself. He uses her mightily and she gives all the credit to He who earth as a His footstool and heaven as His throne.

I’ve always admired Mary at a distance until one day a good friend of mine, T. Suzanne Eller, introduced us at the SheSpeaks conference in North Carolina in August. Up until that point I could never muster up the courage to contact her to invite her to be a guest on Books A Latte. However, I chickened out…again.

My daughter, T accompanied me on this trip to the conference. Sometime during the teen portion of the conference, T met Mary. She won an autographed copy of Mary’s book Daisy Chain (the sequel is entitled Slow Burn). Well, on the entire trip home the name Mary DeMuth seeped from her lips more times than I can remember. I made the mistake of thinking that the excitement would slip away as time distanced her from the memorable occasion…NOT! This child gave new meaning to the word “relentless.” She would not allow me to wallow in my fear that Mary was too important to take the time to talk with me.

We met Mary in August and I didn’t interview her until November. Is T persistent or what?

Check out our interview – you may want to take notes, Mary shares quiet a bite of valuable information (she also talks about her next book):

On my quest to be on top of my “organization” game, I remembered meeting Karen Ehman, the lady who has conquered disorganization.

I meet Karen at the 2009 SheSpeaks conference in North Carolina. She drew me in with her warm heart and we connected instantly.

During our interview Karen shared great tips on how to get and stay organized. Her book, The Complete Guide to Getting & Staying Organized, she touches on a myriad of areas from clutter to cooking and everything in between.

She gives me an awesome suggest to solve my issues with “the never ending pile of dirty clothes.”

We also talked about one of her other books entitled, A Life That Says Welcome. Karen explains to us that great hospitality isn’t about gourmet food and gorgeous decor, but it’s about your heart.

As the wife of a minister, sometimes we have unexpected company, this book gave me practical advice on how to be prepared. In one of the chapters in this book, Karen talks about how to decorate on a budget, she elaborates on the concept that less actually is more, and also how simplicity plays an important role in the warmth of welcoming.
