MUSE AND HEARTH

The root of the word Amateur is from the Latin "amator," or "lover." Amateur means doing a thing out of love for it. Not because you're an expert or because it's your full-time job, though that love certainly tends toward mastery over time. We want to revitalize this word in its fullest and oldest sense-we want to be lovers of our vocations, not mere workers in those vocations. We want to love our work in our homes, in our families, in our life-long education, in our churches, in our communities.
