Housewife MacGyver: I want YOU!

First of all, let's give a big round of applause for our guests this month:

• Mr. Hawkins and his toolbox
• Steve and Meredin and their handyman help
• Gwen and her electric self :)

We've had a great month learning to be MacGyver around the house, and we have some great months coming up! Thanks for coming along on this MacGyver ride with me. :)

We'll cover academic self-reliance in August and self-reliance in the car in September, but October and November's topics are a bit non-traditional for MacGyver: spiritual (October) and emotional (November) self-reliance.

I'm pretty sure that, even through all seven seasons, we never learned much about MacGyver's supreme being or his emotions (other than an inability to commit, maybe :), but each of us has to make decisions about our beliefs and feelings every day (every minute!), using the "resources" available to us.

Obviously these decisions and resources will be different for each of us based on our perspective, priorities, etc. So, rather than just finding guests that go along with what *I* think or am interested in, I'd like to invite each of you to participate and be a Housewife MacGyver guest!

Being a guest doesn't mean that you're an expert. It just means that you have something to say about what spiritual or emotional self-reliance means to you or how you use spiritual or emotional "resources" in a better/new/different way. Or what spiritual or emotional resources you draw upon to improve yourself/your family/your marriage/your life. Or whatever else comes to mind!

You don't have to have an answer, or say that everyone should do what you do, or even say what you do. Just take a minute to introspect and think about why you believe and feel what you do...

{...insert introspective minute...}

... and then consider sharing with us. Contact me at iamjustlu@gmail.com with questions or to sign on to be a guest. If you're on the fence, just let me know and we can chat. I won't need firm and finalized guest posts for a few weeks yet, so you can tentatively commit and then continue introspecting. :)

I can't wait to see what you'd love to share! Thanks for reading!
