Soaking in Femininity

Moving across the world is stressful. Missing my daughter, if only until August, is stressful. So is not having a car and so many other things right now. The stress has gotten to me. My husband does his best to keep stress off me, but it's impossible to move across the world and not feel … Continue reading Soaking in Femininity

Museum, Glasses, Help

We've been busy today. We met L, our exchange student's, cousins in the city for lunch. Then we went to a science museum. Now we're back at home resting. L is still in the city with her cousins. I've posted 3 Youtube videos. I'm still finding my voice, and I haven't shown my face. But … Continue reading Museum, Glasses, Help

I Have Started a Youtube Channel!

My first video 2nd video I don't have any videos about submission or marriage yet, but I have two videos of reviews of artistic books. I haven't gotten brave enough to show my face yet (feeling shy. I think I sound nervous in the videos), but I will soon. I might make some simple bread … Continue reading I Have Started a Youtube Channel!

Careers Are Unnecessary

I have never had a career. I was working when I met my husband, but it was just a retail job. It was very easy to walk away from, and as soon as my husband and I were engaged, with his permission I quit. Careers are overrated. Unlike a husband or children, they don't love … Continue reading Careers Are Unnecessary

Silence as Feminine Silk

Silence is silky, feminine. A soft voice is an earthly slice of paradise. My husband talks for me a lot. I lean on him heavily in stores and at restaurants, and in a variety of social situations. Exclusivity makes femininity a treat. Not everyone gets access to me. I speak to people who interest me … Continue reading Silence as Feminine Silk

Blogging Without a Niche

Sometimes, I wonder if I talk about too much on this blog. I have poetry and art and submission and marriage and literature and photography and family stuff and mental health posts. You could definitely say I don't narrow in on a niche! But my life, like everyone else's, is complex and real. As a … Continue reading Blogging Without a Niche

Husbands Have Authority Over Their Wives

A man has the right to set rules for his family, including his wife. Feminism often pushes egalitarian relationships, but this is not biblical. Scripture calls on women to submit to their husbands, not the other way around. This doesn't mean major decisions shouldn't be discussed. A wise man will hear his wife out and … Continue reading Husbands Have Authority Over Their Wives

Hospital, Book, Feminine Literature

Evidently I am probably on too many medicines. I ended up in the ER last night because of double vision and tremors. They referred me to neurology, but they think it is my medicines. So now my doctor is pulling me off one of them. I have been reading A Jury of Her Peers. Fascinating … Continue reading Hospital, Book, Feminine Literature

Ambition

I used to be a very ambitious person, but now I don't really have any ambition. This has allowed me to embrace my life as is and enjoy the moment. I'm not always looking over the horizon to the next thing. Peace has become my default mode. I used to want to be published and … Continue reading Ambition
