A Rule of Life for the Modern World
Monica Anyango's first book, currently being written. It asks a simple question: in a world that pulls life apart, how do we build one that holds together?
Blending personal narrative with philosophical reflection, it draws on Catholic thought and lived experience to explore how order, rhythm, and clarity can be restored to a fragmented life.
A Rule of Life for the Modern World
Readers of Bloom & Vine receive early excerpts as the book takes shape.
We speak of time as something we manage, spend, or waste — as though it were a resource to be optimized. But time is something deeper than that. It is the environment in which a life unfolds.
Every habit is formed through repetition across time. Every relationship develops within it. Every meaningful project grows slowly through sustained attention over months and years. The structure of our days determines the shape of our lives.
"What we do in ordinary days is who we are becoming. Not what we intend, or what we plan — but what we actually do, again and again, in the unremarkable hours."
In Ordinary Time is a podcast exploring formation, motherhood, creativity, work, beauty, faith, and the human experience through thoughtful conversations and reflective storytelling.
Conversations that help people live more attentively and meaningfully in the lives they already have.
