a quote that sheds a light on my home education goals for Chris

AhaParenting.com (on Facebook)

"Deep down, we know that math scores aren’t what will carry our daughter through the trial of a breakup, that physical agility or prowess on the violin won’t help our son as he negotiates a conflict at work. For such challenges they will need not test scores and physical strength, but emotional integrity and skills."

Wonderful article by Natalie of Feeleez, writing at Nathan McTague's (@nmmctague.cpcc) terrific blog "A Beautiful Place of the World"

   Wayne, when you mentioned “seeding community” near the end, a beautiful image came to mind that I think about often and personally hope my life daily mirrors in the communities I live. It’s the words by John O’Donohue that close out a film he did.

   “My hope is that these words and images have been a kind of casting of seed into the soil of the heart, and that someday when the bleakness or the storm comes that we might be gently surprised that a tree has grown inside where we can shelter and find relief and renewal to continue our journey.”

Game On!
