A Weekend at Kathy's - Part 2 - Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network

As I approached 50 (my birthday is September 10^th), I started thinking about the legacy I was leaving behind. As a young college student, I was discipled by several amazing women… Susan Felker, Betsy Stark, Donna George, and Debbie Mabry. These women poured into me in a variety of ways. Some met with me over yogurt, others invited me into their homes. I watched these women be wives and mothers from the front row. They impacted me. I felt led to do invite young moms into my home for the weekend. I wanted to give them a front row view into my imperfect life. I wanted to be raw and vulnerable with them; to show them that God uses hot messes like me to parent, to partner, and to love. We had a lovely weekend together. On this episode, the questions continue, and I rant a bit about subjects close to my heart. I am still learning on this journey. I don’t have much figured out. I do know that love is powerful and that we need other people in our lives. I pray you have people in your life that encourage you on the low days and celebrate with you on the high ones. We need each other.

Thank you so much to all the husbands and other family members who supported their women, so this weekend could happen. Beautiful friendships were formed, laughter, rest, massages, foot baths, and lots of food filled their bellies. Thank you to my precious friend, Christy Montes who gave up her weekend to be here. Thank you to her husband Bob and her girls for helping serve and clean and to Maddie for making some yummy desserts. Thank you to Stacey for providing amazing massages for the women. A special thank you to the Lee kids who gave up their space for the weekend and to my amazing partner in all things, Geoff. YOU were the real Rockstar of the weekend. YOU were an amazing chef, cleaning crew, and storyteller. Pretty sure all the women want our next trip to be in New Zealand.

Wow, it was a great weekend.
