You are right on both counts! Your advice is great for being self-confident
enough to be yourself. That's the kind of person that people really feel
comfortable visiting. We had a new CEO in my organization, and we were all
concerned from rumors, etc. But I heard that his wife's house was always
messy, and I immediately loved her. Ditto our pastor's wife.

I've a magnet on my fridge that says, "An immaculate house is the sign of
a mis-spent life."
