Earlier this month, I attended Young Living’s International Grand Convention in Dallas.  Young Living is an essential oil company, so logically I expected to learn a lot about essential oils, maybe some information about the company and how to lead a successful team in Network Marketing.  I did not expect to be inspired and motivated to live a better life!  I did not expect to be driven to turn the spotlight inward, exposing some long-hidden truths. Superficially, I would claim my life is wonderful.  With a loving husband, happy children, a career and big dreams, I feel that I have achieved contentment and balance in my...

I recently returned from my company’s yearly convention.  I had an absolutely awesome time, met wonderful people, learned enough to make my head burst and was so fortunate to experience the gathering of thousands of people who live in positivity and care for others.  It was absolutely inspiring.  My biggest take-away from this convention, however, went far deeper than the great, yet largely superficial feelings. As I lay in bed one night, thinking about the words that I’d heard that day at the convention, I came to the shocking and humbling realization that I was living in fear. The idea of living in fear...

As homeschoolers, we have the unique opportunity to teach our children exactly what they need to be taught.  We are able to incorporate many subjects into their education that may have been abandoned or never addressed by the public school system.  I absolutely love that my children can experience the richness of the creative arts, music, cooking, the exploration of nature, physical education, even cursive writing while at the same time not missing out on any of the essentials! What I consider to be one of the essentials, has never been addressed in school.  To my knowledge, public schools have never taught...

Do you struggle with balance?  Balance in your life, balance in your relationships, balance in your health and fitness?  How about in your career?  Your finances?  Your faith?  Even your time off? I struggle with this.  Maybe it is because of my personality…  I tend to be all or nothing in many areas of my life.  Black or white.  Hot or cold.  Yes or no.  It is  very easy for me to get distracted from all areas of my life when one area catches my attention.  Kind of like the dog from the movie “Up.” SQUIRREL! When I get excited about something, it tends to become my entire...

For our next Five in a Row study, we decided to read Miss Rumphius, by Barbara Cooney just as the bluebonnets were blooming here in Texas.  Based on the cover of the book, it seemed the perfect time. This is the story of a young girl who follows in her grandfather’s footsteps, travelling the world and living a full life.  When the time comes, she decides to settle down by the sea.  From her little house on a bluff, she find a way to make the world a little more beautiful. How have I never heard of this book before Five in a...

Did anybody catch a glimpse of the Super-Star on June 30th? For us homeschoolers, this is a teaching moment; a simple lesson in astronomy. According to astronomers, the planets Venus and Jupiter passed so dramatically close to each other in the sky that they appeared to the naked eye to be one celestial body, or as a “Super-Star.”  Some have even theorized that this is the “Star of Bethlehem” that was seen over 2000 years ago on the night of Jesus’ birth.  Apparently these two planets, the two brightest objects in the sky (besides the Sun and Moon, of course), have not...
