are excelling at the domestic sciences.
Homemakers are half artists and half scientists. I genuinely believe that the success of modern culture hinges on our willingness to value and respect the domestic arts and sciences. And yet, somewhere along the way, homemaking got a bad rap. There are several reasons why this occurred, but the end result is that, in our culture, being a homemaker lost much of its status and appeal.
When a culture doesn’t value its homemakers (regardless of gender), then fewer people opt to become one (even when they hear the call to this vocation), and this poses a problem.
Our lives our not made from big, dramatic “oscar moments,” despite what you see in movies. Rather, our lives are formed from small, everyday moments.
Homemakers: Masters of the Quotidian
a talented homemaker can improve a family's quality of life
Our little daily habits and rituals might seem inconsequential when looked at separately, but when looked at in their consecutive entirety, it’s easy to recognize them for what they are: the very fabric of our lives. True homemakers see homemaking as an art and a science. Homemakers are in charge of society’s daily habits and rituals. They facilitate life and living.
The home is where we nourish, heal, and recharge
our spirits, our minds, and our bodies,
and whoever facilitates that is a sort of modern-day shaman”
Our daily life forms our “quotidian.” Our quotidian is sacred. It forms young psyches and makes — or breaks — cultures. I believe passionately that we need to return status to today’s homemaker.
Yes, I actually believe the well-being of modern society hinges on our ability to revere homemaking, and hold it as among the noblest of modern professions. When we can accomplish this, our culture will be healthier and less narcissistic. In my opinion, it’s very important that we achieve this.
Creating an Inspired Home from the Inside-Out
Recently, I was interviewed by the Forbes sisters of Inspired Everyday Living. Laura and Alison and I are aligned in our belief that a home is more than four walls — it is the foundation from which a stellar life is built. I invite you to have a look at the interview, and let me know if you have any thoughts or questions!
