I am definitely the best at worrying! No contest! 🤣 But with these daily doses of Auntie Leila and the slow, lifelong acquisition of housekeeping skills I think I will eventually be able to lay the sillier worries to rest and offer up whatever remains.
Thank you so much for this! What a wonderful concept - that of “ordinary beauty” (which actually seems dangerously subversive in today’s culture!) It makes me hopeful! Happy Thanksgiving!
The post “ordinary beauty” was especially lovely, and would make a great mission statement for my newly discovered “higher” calling (as a woman) to home and family. Even, perhaps especially, now that I am quite old, and so often alone.
When I admitted that “disorder is my middle name,” my priest patiently instructed me in spiritual tactics to tie my home duties to my morning offering. That takes practice and I am grateful.
And now, since enrolling in The School for Housewives, I’m no longer baffled, uncertain what to prioritize. You give readers multiple tried and true plans of attack for everything I was reluctant to start. The posts are all short and sweet, they are unfailingly spiritually and technically actionable.
Though much at home remains to be done, I’m working smarter and am inwardly renewed. And yes, cooperating with God in the mundane has rewards even now.
I’m sure I’m not the only reader who sees your name in the inbox and thinks, “Thank God, the reinforcements have arrived!”
Beautiful, Leila. x
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Leila.
Happy Thanksgiving, Mrs. Lawler!
