Karey's Overflow: Life dreaming

About Me

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.

Life dreaming

This morning I thought I'd journal about paint-by-number vs life as a drama ...

But I went down to eat something and make a pot of English Breakfast Tea ...

And got distracted ...

Other than going to church and eating lunch out with friends, I'm dreaming and planning my garden for this year. I got caught up in my gardening seed catalogs ...

Travis and Sarah ... we helped you get your garden set up and planted last year. Are you dreaming about your garden for this year?

Sarah said...: Our garden dreaming for this year has been a near daily occurrence for a few months now :) We have lots of ideas and plans, but we need to sit down and maybe draw them out and make it real. I can't wait - I miss the dirt and the water and especially the nutrients!; February 11, 2008 1:30 PM
Karey said...: Me to. That's why I'm looking at things, especially now with all the excavating to fill in, I could be starting from seed that are perennials. Cuz, even tho snow's on the ground outside, I could get my hands in dirt inside. Monte says I'm trying to push Spring. YEP!; February 11, 2008 7:11 PM
