When it comes to her ownership of Blue Stone Manor, Dorinda told Us that she’s “open to change” but doesn’t know what the future will hold.
Dorinda emphasized the importance of being flexible and accepting that everything has a beginning, middle, and end. She shared that if she ever decides to make changes or sell her property, she will not have any regrets as every day spent there has been a blessing.
Currently, Dorinda is concentrating on her partnership with Clorox, which is assisting her in handling the spring cleaning in her mansion.
"I have had many spillers at my house at Blue Stone Manor. I’m constantly hosting, entertaining, cleaning," she shared with Us. Last month, Dorinda hosted Clorox's Murder Mystery event called "Spiller on the Loose" in New York City.
"It was like a mini-Blue Stone Manor where I wore a cape and played detective to uncover the Major Spiller while still hosting my guests in this stunning home," she reminisced. "It was such a perfect fit, don't you think?"
