| Introduction | I am a wife and a mother who thinks that that is an important occupation in itself. At the same time, I am a woman who enjoys wrestling with questions about our brief existence here on this little planet, because I think it is the most important wrestling we can do, and is inextricably tied to my other responsibilities and relationships. As a mother to two lovely and rambunctious boys and two little girls, I am trying to find the balance of all my responsibilities and desires, and so here, in these blogs, is an attempt to capture where I am and what I am learning, while also giving an outlet to my passionate, wrestling self. |
