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.

My Photo
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.

Chesterton Quote

From the very quotable GK Chesterton -

"Paradox is truth standing on her head to attract attention."

The greatest paradox was Chesterton himself: a massive man whose nimble thought danced through his day, entertaining and enlightening millions, and on into the present. CS Lewis said that Chesterton was his mentor, as was George MacDonald.

I was doing a Google search and found out you have a BLOG!

So good to know and I'm looking forward to keeping up with one of my favorite homeschool people.

Even though we graduated our youngest this year. :)

My youngest has been in college - this is his second year. He's still living at home since it's more economical and he can drive to school.
