Hey hey!! Welcome!! I’m Marlene Griffith, the girl behind A Diligent Heart. I’m a coffee-loving, music-obsessed, homeschooling mama. I’m excited you’re here! My days are spent taking care of my family, home, teaching my children at home, and working from home.
When I’m not doing that I’m either reading, writing, sewing, crafting, painting (canvas, not wall), or catching up on my latest full-season find on Netflix or Amazon.
A Diligent Heart?
I believe diligence is a fundamental part of life, and we must be diligent in everything we do, so that we do it with purpose and not just with a fleeting robotic attitude.
See, I have a tendency to be a “lazy lifer”. Meaning, it is easy for me to just “go-with-it” and take each day as it comes. No purpose, no direction, no reason.
But I’m working towards being intentional and purposeful in everything I do.
I have always had a passion for writing, but never thought to do something with it. In 2012 all of that changed, and I purchased this little space on the World Wide Web.
