Lily Bloom is not just a book; it is a lifestyle.
My husband and I currently live in South Africa after residing in Europe for a few years. We have three adult children and a couple of dachshunds. Lily Bloom is not just a book; it is a lifestyle built around gratitude, resilience, and faith.
Meet the author
Leilani Luyt Potgieter is a writer, encourager, and the founder of Lily Bloom Lifestyle - a gentle, faith-filled lifestyle brand created to help women heal, grow, rest, begin again, and bloom through every season of life.
She is the author of Die Lelieblom en moed vir die stap op ons lewenspad, a deeply personal book about courage, faith, trauma, survival, and grace. Through her writing, Leilani shares honestly from her own life journey - through seasons of loss, uncertainty, migration, medical trauma, emotional healing, and the quiet strength that comes when a woman learns to trust God one step, one breath, and one day at a time.
Her message is simple, tender, and deeply hopeful:
Even after winter, drought, heartbreak, pruning, and pain, a woman can bloom again.
Through the Bloom, Darling, Bloom! series, Leilani carries this heart-message further in a way that is practical, poetic, and deeply rooted in Christian faith. Her books invite women to recognise the season they are in, tend their inner garden with grace, grow in faith, and rediscover hope, beauty, courage, and purpose under God's loving care.
Leilani writes for women who are healing.
For women who are beginning again.
For women who carry hidden stories.
For women who long for a softer, deeper, more meaningful way of living with God.
Her words weave together personal testimony, Christian encouragement, emotional wisdom, creativity, and the beauty of ordinary rituals. She writes with the heart of a woman who has known both the ache of winter and the wonder of new life and who believes that God wastes nothing in the garden of a surrendered life.
Leilani and her husband currently live in South Africa after spending several years in Europe. They have three adult children and a few beloved dachshunds who fill their home and hearts with joy. Together, they love travelling, discovering beautiful places, and noticing the stories behind people, homes, gardens, and seasons.
She has a heart for people and an eye for beauty. Leilani loves nature, poetry, writing, painting, music, baking and filling ordinary moments with meaning. She loves making things beautiful — a home, a table, a garden, a sentence, a page, an ordinary day. But even more than that, she loves noticing the inner beauty in people, honouring it, and reminding them of it when they have forgotten. Over time, she has become more at home with herself, with silence, with grace, and with the Gardener's pace.
Through her books and Lily Bloom Lifestyle, Leilani hopes to help women live more gently, deeply, and purposefully - with faith, emotional wisdom, simple rituals, and the quiet comfort of knowing that God lovingly tends us through every season. In her world, roses bloom, the kettle sings, dachshunds bring joy, and the ordinary becomes holy again.
At the heart of everything she creates is one simple invitation:
Bloom, darling, bloom - right here where you are, and right there where God is lovingly tending you.
God is still tending you.
Your season has meaning.
And darling, you can bloom again.
