Yvette Hampton talks with Cindy Rollins, homeschool mom, speaker, and author, about finding meaning, purpose, and beauty in the litany of home-life. They discuss how moms can develop lifelong habits for themselves and how they can encourage their children to develop good habits. How can you focus on a daily rhythm rather than strict scheduling? And how can you zero in on the power of attention (in the student, in the mom, and in society) and its role in a future life of prayer?
Cindy Rollins homeschooled her nine children for over 30 years. She is the co-host with Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks of the popular Literary Life Podcast and curates the Over the Back Fence Newsletter at Cindyrollins.net.  She is the author of Mere Motherhood: Morning Time, Nursery Rhymes, and My Journey Toward Sanctification; A Handbook for Morning Time, and the Mere Motherhood Newsletters.
She runs an active Patreon group where they read Charlotte Mason's Volumes and discuss questions pertaining to motherhood and life. Her heart’s desire is to encourage moms using Charlotte Mason’s timeless principles. She lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee with her husband Tim and dog Max. You can also find her traveling around the country visiting her 13+ grandchildren, watching her youngest son play baseball, and occasionally speaking at events.

Book Lovers, FORMA, from the CiRCE Institute contemplates ancient ideas for contemporary people, both online and in print. Whether we’re reviewing a new mystery novel, sharing new original poetry, or publishing critical essays, we’re trying to determine what classical thought can offer modern mankind. We’re looking back, even if the past seems backward. We publish original essays, reviews, interviews, and poetry. And we’re hunting miscellany, seeking out the sorts of things that book-lovers love.

How do we remain steadfast at home while the world is seemingly on fire? We turn to God’s Word and heed His instructions to us. We MUST gird up and teach our kids to do the same. He is a merciful God with a great plan and, like Queen Esther, He has each one of us here for such a time as this!
Join Yvette Hampton and Aby Rinella for this encouraging conversation on the important role of mothers and how to live with courage.

Scripture Referenced:
Esther is the only book in the Bible not to mention the name of God. But God certainly wasn’t absent. His presence permeates much of the story.
 
God’s sovereignty and faithfulness permeates each scene
 
Esther 4 “When Mordecai learned all that had been done, Mordecai tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and he cried out with a loud and bitter cry. 2 He went up to the entrance of the king's gate, for no one was allowed to enter the king's gate clothed in sackcloth. 3 And in every province, wherever the king's command and his decree reached, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting and weeping and lamenting, and many of them lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4 When Esther's young women and her eunuchs came and told her, the queen was deeply distressed. She sent garments to clothe Mordecai, so that he might take off his sackcloth, but he would not accept them. 5 Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs, who had been appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what this was and why it was. 6 Hathach went out to Mordecai in the open square of the city in front of the king's gate, 7 and Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king's treasuries for the destruction of the Jews. 8 Mordecai also gave him a copy of the written decree issued in Susa for their destruction,[a] that he might show it to Esther and explain it to her and command her to go to the king to beg his favor and plead with him[b] on behalf of her people. 9 And Hathach went and told Esther what Mordecai had said. 10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach and commanded him to go to Mordecai and say, 11 “All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that if any man or woman goes to the king inside the inner court without being called, there is but one law—to be put to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter so that he may live. But as for me, I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.”
12 And they told Mordecai what Esther had said. 13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not think to yourself that in the king's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” 15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, 16 “Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.” 17 Mordecai then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.”
