The fight of his life
This fall it will be 25 years since I met this guy. Our life has been full of twists and turns, laughter and more than a few tears. Last night we watched a video together as a family that portrayed the feeding of the 5000 and Jesus walking on water and urging Peter to keepContinue reading “The fight of his life”
Recycling Regrets
“… I noticed that recycling regrets didn’t change reality. Pawing through the past is not productive…Thus an insight dawned, although not all at once, showing me that too much attention to what might have been actually gets in the way of what still can be. Those valleys you and I are sometimes in are reallyContinue reading “Recycling Regrets”
Hidden in plain view
An idiom or oxymoron that indicates something is seemingly hidden, but is in fact very easy to see or find.

Back to School – Chart the course with a Compass

One ofContinue reading “Back to School – Chart the course with a Compass”
Keeping it SIMPLE
How is it that someone blogging about their family ‘Come, Follow Me’ and homeschool journey has any credibility saying ‘Keep it simple’? I know. Forgive me. Please read on. It’s just that we’ve tried learning at home, homeschooling, in SO MANY WAYS that proved over time to be unsustainable, or took much effort to plan,Continue reading “Keeping it SIMPLE”
Our Journey Continues
Thanks for joining us! I’m creating this blog to chronicle a journey that is personal, but at the same time universal. Spirit-led, and an academic journey as well. We have been a homeschool family for several years, but in the last two years have finally ‘hit our stride’ in many ways, on most days. WeContinue reading “Our Journey Continues”
