Something's changed
Hey Reader! Next week, I'll be kickstarting a free series on the state of homeschooling. That's because I've noticed that something's changed. A lot has changed, actually, but one subject in particular isn't being explored enough — homeschooling. The pendulum has swung from in-home education to classroom education, and back to center again. Now, more families are ditching the time apart in exchange for time together. And a lot of that has to do with the fact that the Internet has made it even...
When you feel that big shift...
It's been a minute since I sent you a letter, and here's why: I saw this quote on Rare Mentalities' Instagram, and it hit me hard. This is what I've been feeling. If you're burnt out and exhausted, perhaps it's what you've been feeling too. A few weeks ago, my mentor asked me about my next steps. I laid them out on paper just as I'd strategized. I had the launch dates. I had the new course mapped out. I had the open cart date and the close cart date. I had the dates I'd rally the affiliate...
tired of being lost in a sea of noise, distraction, and chaos?
While at the park the other day, I showed a fellow mom my phone. "I'm just putting your recommendation into my Notes app." It was the same way I awkwardly clarify on almost EVERY Zoom call, "I'm just looking down because I'm taking notes." Or smile weirdly every time I look up from taking notes in my Bible at church so the Pastor knows I'm not sleeping but am actively engaged. Do you ever do the same? Go out of your way to make sure others know you're listening, paying attention, and part of...
The Art of Freedom
Freedom is an art form. When you have time freedom, how do you choose what time you wake up and go to bed? When you have financial freedom, how do you choose whether to build a chicken coop or garden next? (Trick question — you choose both). When you have location freedom, how do you choose your next destination, or bigger yet, what rig you’ll live in while you RV full time? When you have school freedom, how do you choose which curriculum to use? When you have wardrobe freedom, how do you...
get excited about the life you're building (here's how)🕺
Last Saturday, our kids kicked off their Spring soccer season — and let me tell you...their coaches could not be more different. My youngest son's game was first, and his coach, well, stayed silent. He stood off the field the whole game (the opponent's coach was on the field helping the kids) and watched as a passive observer. I'm *confident* he had his opinions about how the kids were doing, but he kept them to himself, cringing at kids running to score in the other team's goal and shrugging...
