I confess, I have not always been the most confident when discussing my interests and goals in life. Last year, I worked part-time in a bookstore while I studied full-time at university. To some, it was just retail; a stepping stone to greater things. To me, it was the best thing I’d done in my … Continue reading Femininity: on staying at home
Dear friend,Welcome back.I didn't want to be *that* person. The one who writes about the new year at the beginning of January. Not because there's something wrong with writing about 2022 (in fact, I already have on my blog!), but because there's an overwhelming amount of content dedicated to beginnings and fresh starts and getting … Continue reading Newsletter: new year, old me
At the beginning of last year, I wrote that I wanted 2021 to be good. After what it turned out to be, I don’t know that I have the energy to ask for that again. Not that I want to dismiss the entire year as bad, because it wasn’t (there were some wonderful aspects), but … Continue reading Hope in the New Year
A couple of weeks ago I posted a list of movies that feature women who showcase their femininity in different, inspiring ways, and I wanted to do the same with books! Of course, there are so many books I could talk about, but I’ll try to keep this relatively short. If you have any others, … Continue reading Femininity: A List of Books
Happy (almost) Christmas! Here I am again, writing to you at the beginning of this holiday season. Christmas is my favourite time of year, and it has been for a long time. I used to love decorating the tree with my family, listening to Christmas music (admittedly, I did start that a week early this … Continue reading Newsletter: peace is here
After last week’s heavier topic, I thought I’d discuss something a bit more fun for this post! I’ve compiled a list of fictional movies I enjoy that feature women I look up to for how they showcase their femininity, each in different ways. I’ll compile a list of books in the following weeks as well, … Continue reading Femininity: A List of Movies
Wholesome living, for me, is guarding our hearts and minds from vulgarity and impurity, that which does not glorify and honour God. Cultivating a feminine and wholesome life will involve turning away from some things that might be considered normal or successful to the world. This past week, I have felt called from God to … Continue reading Femininity: Wholesome Living
Welcome back! If you follow along with my blog, you'll know I've recently started a new series about femininity. I've been interested in the topic for a long time but avoided discussing it for the simple reason that I felt almost disqualified from having something to say. The topic seemed reserved for women with long … Continue reading Newsletter: branching out
I am someone who constantly battles with contentment. I place a lot of value in finding beauty and joy in the simple things in life, and mention this frequently. But practically it is something I pray about regularly because contentment is not always my natural response. There are so many content creators these days, and … Continue reading Femininity: Seeking Contentment
After deciding to follow my slightly nerve-wracking but incredibly exciting new series on femininity, I’ve been writing down so many ideas about what I can explore here on the blog. But firstly, there is something important pressing on my heart. As I discuss femininity and look back at what I have implemented, and look forward … Continue reading Femininity: not about perfection or oppression
