Taken from a series of lectures, the tone is colloquial, but the content is deep in meaning. It’s another book for those of us homemakers who may sometimes allow the world to infringe, and sometimes worry that we aren’t doing something meaningful. This work assures us that we are, and also offers some good, practical advice. I dog-eared so many pages in my personal copy, I can hardly quote all of the things I’d like to, otherwise I’d be duplicating the book, and I’m pretty sure that’s against copyright laws. One I would like to leave you with though: “’Learn to distinguish between the essential and the inessential.’ This thought meets exactly the problem of the homemaker—all day long essential and inessential things are mixed into her day. If the homemaker reminds herself daily of what is essential, then a force will grow within her, a force organ. This force will enable her to take up the essential elements in the course of the day while leaving inessentials behind.” Powerful stuff, right?
