Karey's Overflow

'Overflow' refers to me having a wide variety of things I do, from writing books, to daily living of a wonderful life, and art work.

Name: Karey
Location: Colorado, United States

I garden at 8000 feet, cook from scratch, needle felt, read books continually, study history and epistemology, write daily, contemplate spiritual theology, and pursue heirloom arts. I love to paint pictures of living beyond maintenance -- living creatively, discovering beauty in everyday ordinary things. I've been happily married to Monte, who is a geologist, for a long time and still very much in love, even after raising a family and building two houses. Our children are our best friends. Heather is newly married to Bill. Travis, a minister of the fine arts, is married to Sarah. And Dawson is in college. I naturally live first-hand and have recently realized that this is how we educated our children and ourselves. I love to learn about everything, teach, and work with my hands. I love my home, but my life has overflowed -- as a teacher, radio/conference/retreat speaker, author, and most recently as a MOPS mentor. Kareyswan.com is an ideal way for me to share my overflowing life with kindred spirits and those hungering to move beyond maintenance -- to be known by who they are, not just by what they do.

Company Gone


It's been wonderful anticipating a newly married daughter and new son-in-law coming to visit and going through lots of stuff. It was a walk down memory lane, primarily for Heather, bringing Bill along, as they went through boxes. It was fun observing them together.

They've left. Lots of things moved to storage and their two vehicles packed with stuff to start their new life together - primarily for baking and cooking meals! Heather is really ready to get that part of life going. She's cooked for us and for her eldercare people and the family she nannied for. Now she can get on with doing it for themselves and entertaining.

It's fun having company, but it's also nice to get on with life (once over the initial tiredness that comes with entertaining).
