[SAHM I Am] TOTW October 11: Nourishing the Mind and Soul
----
Wifely Wonders,
It’s a crisp autumn morning here in Hibiscus, and the sun is just beginning to make an appearance. I’ve been thinking recently about the importance of taking my job as a SAHM seriously. Sure, the kids’ activities are fun, the cooking and cleaning rewarding. But how can I foster a more professional attitude toward this best of all careers? If I were a teacher, I would constantly be taking classes to improve my skills. If I were a computer person, I’d be reading industry journals. So what can a SAHM do?
This week I’d like to hear from you—what things do you do as a SAHM to refresh and expand your mind? Share about books you’ve read, retreats you’ve been to, or groups that help you grow and learn. Let’s encourage one another to nourish our own minds and souls, even as we nurture our little ones.
With great respect,
Rosalyn Ebberly

Darling,
I got some very interesting packages in the mail today. Three of them. One was a box. The second was also a box—a bigger one. The third was a large mailer. What do you suppose ALL of them contained?
ROMANCE NOVELS! Addressed to you, from the following women: Kelly Thames (box #1), Justine Williamson (box #2) and Michelle Ostler (mailer). Justine’s box also contained a rather interesting letter, which I have re-typed below for your convenience:
Dear Tom,
Thanks so much for having lunch with me on Thursday. It’s great to have someone I can talk to and who has such a unique perspective on all the things we discussed. Kelly and Michelle were hoping you would be willing to have lunch with them, too, since you have such a way of helping us understand men better. Please consider these novels our way of saying thanks for connecting with our intellect as well as with our emotions.
Yours truly,
Justine
All right, Thomas—WHAT IS GOING ON???
Yours “truly” AND IRATELY,
Dulcie

Wonderful topic, Rosalyn! The book I am currently soaking in is Domestic at Heart: Taming the Shrew in a Woman’s Soul, by Jane LaDrudge. It challenges us women to return to “authentic femininity”—docilely giving of ourselves with no thought of anything in return. I’ve been so convicted and yet encouraged by Jane’s uplifting exhortations to “quell the longings in our hearts for approval, relaxation, excitement and individual achievements—all things that lead us astray from our true calling as women…to serve and nurture everyone else.” It’s a magnificent book, and you all should get a copy and study it.
In His service,
Connie

So, please, sweetheart…ANSWER ME!
