  Thank God, Miss Niecy you are returning. I am going to miss Matt Iseman though. He is funny and smart. Please bring him back and keep the whole troop together.

  Love you, love the show,

  I love this quote! I would say it also applies to women as well.

• T.Jordan Said on April 22nd, 2009 at 9:24 am

  I wanted to say how much I admire you as a woman. You are a beautiful person and you are one of the women besides my Mom and Auntie that inspire me to be the best that I can be inside and out. I love your energy and personality, and please don’t ever leave CLEAN HOUSE!!=D

  Hi Nicey, I was told earlier today of your appearance on The Doctors last night. I would love to talk to about the lymphedema. I have it too and have had it since birth (both legs/feet). I know we are not our illnesses so I want to add that I have watched you on Clean House and laughed and laughed.

  I blog about my situation (and try to be funny about it, compression bandaging etc.) and also discuss in support groups etc. I want a celebrity who’s willing to admit they
  have the condition. Someone who’s recognizable and will stand up and be counted.
  Can you help us take lymphedema further out of the closet? I vow to even clean my closet if you will help.
  Pls email me above or visit my blog.

  I am a very curvy woman and I have been watching all the shows any noticed how you have slimmed down to a great FULL figure woman. I am 46 years old and a very FULL figure and can’t seem to lose anything. I work with women who have had breast cancer and fit them with prostetics and I am lucky that I don’t have cancer but can’t stand by chest. How did you do it and can you help me? Thank you and love your show.

  Dear Niecy, So happy you are returning to Clean House!!! It is one of my favorite shows but without you it has no fire. I love you, girl, and hope that all is good for you and yours forever.

• angie Said on May 2nd, 2009 at 9:02 am

  We can see which oak you come from, little acorn! A handsome, wise pair!

• Kitty Moore Said on May 6th, 2009 at 7:11 pm

  I want to say thank you to you and the rest of the team of Clean House. I have long been a fan of many of the home improvement shows, but Clean House gave me the courage to finally do something about my ‘space’. I listened each show as you encouraged people to give up things they had been holding on to for too long. I, too, had things that had been my mothers or aunts or . . . or some of those stuffed animals from my childhood and things I had purchased to do crafts with then ‘lost’ in the mess that was my entire house. I had made a few feeble attempts in the past to “Clean House”, but not successfully. NO ONE

• Kitty Moore Said on May 6th, 2009 at 7:17 pm

  NO ONE was allowed into my home. The front door would not even open all of the way because of the stuff piled in the foyer. Some rooms were completely inaccessable. Your show helped me realize that I am not alone in my dilemma. I finally hired and organization specialist, and she hauled off all of the stuff cluttering up my life. We went through every box, bag, closet, drawer, shelf, cabinet and sorted and gave away. I now live in a wonderfully clean and organized space. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU ! ! ! ! !

• Bill Said on May 9th, 2009 at 5:17 am

  Love you love the shows, the quote – I wish your father had been mine. I”m 49 and miserable living a life I hate.

  Peace girl, we all love you.

• Joanna Cervantes Said on May 13th, 2009 at 4:25 pm

  Yup! that does sound like something your daddy would say. Take care & nice job entertaining the crowd! PEACE & LOVE…

• Gloria Said on May 16th, 2009 at 1:22 pm

  I Love watching clean house but wonder why a beautiful well educated Lady wants to talk like a street walker. every once in a while the true articulate Nicey shows her true self but the street talk I find offensive and degrading to all educated women Black or White. You are much better than that. Be proud of your finess.

• Sowande Said on May 22nd, 2009 at 12:53 pm

  Your father’s quote is something that I have always tried to live by. I was at CSU Northridge for a short while, before trotting off to law school in Boston where I am now. At Northridge, I had the BEST experience in a Chinese Philosophy class, where I learned about Daoism.

  It couldn’t have been a lesson learned at a more appropriate time because life was so rough, as a young Black man from a small town, living in a big new city and paying and working his way through school.

  Your pop is VERY wise (as I am certain you already know) and I hope you will shake his hand for me.

  Oh, and I’m sorry lady above me, but educated people speak differently and have different ways of expressing themselves. Ignorant people judge one another based on those differences.

• JustJaymie Said on May 31st, 2009 at 12:02 am

  Hi Miss Niecy!

  I just wanted to say I love your show. I also really hate it when you have a guest host. You have a way of getting beyond the clutter and the mess and to the heart of the problem. It’s a wisdom that many people don’t get.

  No matter who you are there is going to be tough times, challenging times and we all have at least one thing out of control in our lives – it might be obesity, an addiction, a secluded to your closets or it might be the whole house. People are human and they can’t handled everything … something always has to give.

  Keep up the good work and keep inspiring these women who need you for their inspiration. You are having such a positive influence on so many people who needed it!

• Kimberly Said on June 30th, 2009 at 1:28 pm

  No, but I am working so hard on doing that right now.

  I love you and am obsessed with Clean House and Reno 911! You manage to be funny, fabulous and inspiring all at the same time. I’m so happy I found your website and blog. Thanks for everything!

• Sharon Gardner Said on July 5th, 2009 at 1:18 pm

  I just wanted to say I love your show I watch it all the time keep up the good work you are so funny thanks for everything!!!!

• maria san pedro Said on July 6th, 2009 at 11:52 pm

  I enjoy clean house so much that I would watch it all the time including re-runs that I have seen 3 or 4 times alrady. Isn’t that weird. Maybe because my attic has a lot of foolishness and mayhem itself. Congratulation on this beautiful show…

• Debra Said on July 7th, 2009 at 1:30 pm

  Am I living the life I want to live – the answer varies from day-to-day with most days being a resounding YES! Parents can be such a source of wisdom – not becuse of what they say, but because they know us so well and can relate with us in a way that impacts us unlike any other. ciao – D

• maryblack Said on July 9th, 2009 at 7:14 pm

• Teresa A. Said on July 10th, 2009 at 8:20 pm

  Am I living the like I want to live? Great question…not exactly but I am getting there. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April of 2007, had a lumpectomy, radiation treatments and my mammograms have been great since. The good thing is our local hospital started a cancer survivor choir with grant money from The American Cancer Society last fall. I have always loved to sing, write and play the guitar a bit but for some reason I did not feel compelled to sing…now I have a reason to sing and we have had concerts, sung at local ball games and festivals. I am writing again too and very excited about life and the future. This is something that gets my creative juices flowing and is something that has become a passion. I am working my way round to that life so thank you Niecy and send a huge thank you to your dad for me…he must be a really smart, sensitive, and caring man…cause he raised such an amazing daughter! You rock and rule! T

• jo clemons Said on July 18th, 2009 at 6:06 pm

  I want to say and I know you must hear it all the time but, your so funny and very inspiring because you seem to be very very comfortable with who you are, you are very beautiful. I’m 40+ year old woman from new jersey and I’m not living the life I would like, I’m joyful spiritually that God has given me life but, I know I could be doing more with my life, and living the life that I dream to live.I definetly need help in that area to get it going….
  I love your shows and pray they keep them on. We don’t have many entertainers like you,especially african american that is very well rounded and can keep humor in all that you do. Keep up the great work and keep inspiring us women with your beauty and well put together make up and wardrobe to empower us to look and feel our best.
  ps tell Dad that was real good “food for thought” it got us all thinking and thinking on how to change and improve!!

• Michelle Said on July 20th, 2009 at 8:05 pm

  Your father’s statement, really is “food for thought!” I really hope “our” child grows up with that form of mentality. He’ll be here in November!

• Paula Said on August 20th, 2009 at 10:22 pm

  Niecy … Niecy … Niecy! I’ve caught your show upon occasion and I have to say that you are just a doll. You are sweet, compassionate, honest, funny, beautiful, sexy, funny, delightful, understanding and funny. You are one of a kind and, as a woman, I am proud of the way you handle yourself and the situations you find yourself in. It doesn’t matter if we’re white, black, red, yellow, purple … whatever. A sister is a sister and I wish you continued joy in your work .. in your life .. in your world. Keep shining, Niecy Nash. And keep the joy spreading. Thanks for making me smile so often.

  I really like the show cleanhouse because the show motivates me to get rid of the clutter i have for several years hidden on the closet! that i need to get rid of those stuffs that i’m not using, i really appreciate you ms niecy, ms linda and mark for giving the best advised for designs and how to organize little stuffs

• tshego Said on October 8th, 2009 at 10:06 am

  are you, coz that food for the thought really makes me think

• Charlie Creech, Jr. Said on October 14th, 2009 at 12:47 pm

  Niecy,
  WOW! You’re a wonderful, beautiful, sexy lady who has “Brains n Booty”. As a relatively successful white middle age white businessman, I have to say to pay no attention to those who put you down for using less than university level English. You communicate very effectively and it is often more effective to drop the “king’s English” to get across your message. I have done the same for years, even hiding a university degree to prevent it getting in the way of people receiving the intended message. Keep us the good work, gal and I hope you will bring great delight to my TV for years to come.

  Charlie
