Hello,
I'm wondering if the theme of "names" wouldn't fit the "Mudroom" . . . As a woman who took a husband's last name before dealing with abuse and infidelity (first marriage), my understanding of a "name" as it relates to my identity has been messy (to say the least). I've sorted this out over the past ten years--in seminary as female surrounded by men,remarriage to a widower & adoptive mom to two daughters. Over the years, I've understood that our names often determine our value, or lack of. God named men and women "human" (equally), and it set up a very different pattern for relationships that we often see in the world. I don't claim to have everything figured out, but I know life in "the mess, and that's where I've found God's presence and unending care. I'd love to hear from you if this seems like a fit.
