Hey everyone. This is Durenda Wilson. Welcome to this week's podcast. I have got an exciting guest, but before I introduce her, I want to remind you that you can connect with me on Facebook

at Dorenda Wilson and then at Instagram at Dorenda Lee Wilson and on my blog, Durinda Wilson.com.

Also, if you haven't checked out my book, The Unhurried Homestooler, I would encourage you to go look at that.

It has been an encouragement to a lot of moms, and it's just a simple, mercifully short book on homeschooling

and just kind of talking about the nuts and the bolts and the priorities as homeschooling families.

And recently, I published a devotional just for moms called Unhurried Grace for a Mom's Heart.

Both of those books are available on Amazon. If you'd like to go check them out.

Today, we are going to be talking about the urgency of motherhood. I have a special guest with me today.

Sherry Seligson, welcome. I'm so happy you're here.

Hi, and I'm glad to be here. We met several years ago. I think the first time was at a blogger conference for moms, and then we've seen each other a few times at some homeschool conventions.

And I've just always loved your heart.

I just knew there was a connection. And so I was so excited when I got invited to a conference in

Florida and Sherry and her husband, Dave, had hosted my husband and myself for the couple days

after the conference. And we just had a fantastic time. It was so much fun.

They took us to the beach. They took us to a coffee place, and we just had a great time.

Yeah, it was really fun. Great just catching up and talking about things with the perspective that we have where we are in our lives. Yes, exactly,

exactly. And we're going to share a little bit more of that in just a few minutes. But if you don't know,

Sherry, Sherry, tell us you, I know you write curriculum, right? Tell us a little bit about that.

I do. I was, my career before I was promoted to mom was a marine biologist. I worked at Walt Disney World. And I am continuing to write about science and teach science, seeing God's hand in science. I write for apology at educational ministries. I wrote the high school marine biology course.

I have done four instructional DVD courses for the high school level.

I have written internship for high school credit, and I'm working on another really exciting science course for middle schoolers,

and it will be hopefully coming out next year.
