Sometimes, it's a good thing to take a step back from current events and focus on what is in front of us.

There is a war against motherhood.

In my city, many schools are now choosing to morph "Mother's day" into a day for all that we love. It's no doubt an effort to be inclusive for children who do not have a mother.

My nother treasured the little things we made for Mother's day as children. But as we grew older, she told us she prefered we did nice things for us on other days because she didn't like the whole concept of a fixed day.

Even children who are raised by two men or have lost their mother were born to a woman. We cannot erase that.

Motherhood is sacred.

“I quite often feel that my greatest task as a father is to raise children who love what is good, true, and beautiful, and who are therefore aliens in this popular culture.”

— Rod Dreher (1967-) American writer.

There is something inherently spiritual in domesticity.

I think this is why I was always attracted by the idea of hearthkeeping which offers a deeper depth to homemaking.

As I was kneading dough to make bread, it made my soul soar. It might be a mundane task but it's an ancestral action.

Something that connects me to my bloodline, to all the countless women who have done the same. And in the awe and thankfulness I feel when I turn flour into an actual bread; I connect with my Creator.

In homemaking there are many hidden gem that feed the soul.

I thought that once I got married, I'd have more things to share on this blog... but... the truth is, I'm so determined to keep our lives private that I don't want to share too much. And one can't always make general statement about marriage as each couple has a different dynamic.

I wish I could share those lovely thing that makes my husband so precious... But it's too precious to share like this

How should we nurture and protect the gentleness of our soul?

By leaving the world, society and people for a little while and getting lost in silence, contemplation and nature…. and of course, by returning to God. Returning when we feel kind and gentle again.

« True gardeners cannot bear a glove Between the sure touch and the tender root, Must let their hands grow knotted as they move With a rough sensitivity about Under the earth, between the rock and shoot, Never to bruise or wound the hidden fruit. And so I watched my mother's hands grow scarred, She who could heal the wounded plant or friend With the same vulnerable yet rigorous love; I minded once to see her beauty gnarled, But now her truth is given me to live, As I learn for myself we must be hard To move among the tender with an open hand, And to stay sensitive up to the end Pay with some toughness for a gentle world. »
