Marriage, Motherhood, and Writing are three callings that have had a significant impact on my adult life. Learning how to live these callings, true to self, has provided fertile ground for growth and loss; joy and pain; understanding and confusion. But ultimately the journey is one of incredible relationships and tremendous growth and discovery. And it's good.
The resource pages below are a collection of the blog posts that speak most to the personal growth and change that has come about from the three dominant callings in my life: wife, mother, and writer.
Me and my mom, Karen Toews, one of my mentors.
(These pages are works in progress, as you'll see if you click through.)
Until I have worked through self, I will not be enabled to get out of the way.
