“And nothing galvanizes me like encountering a bully.” I couldn’t help but smile. I felt like I read a description of myself in that line. Thank you for sharing pieces of your journey with us! I’m always edified by your perspective.

"But what I did get to do during those years, in terms of the blend of professional and personal life that I eventually came to, was think. I thought all the time, and talked with my children, my husband, and my friends. And that helped the ideas to be ready for later."

This statement I think describes where most of my writerly/professional work happens these days. I am only 8 years into parenting my three sons. I don't have the capacity yet to do meaningful work/have output on the side. But I AM doing a lot of thinking and engaging with my husband and kids every day. I trust God will use that storehouse to do something meaningful outside the home someday too.
