Give & You Shall Receive

Early this morning, I was interviewed for an upcoming website which will offer resources for parents who homeschool their children and work from home. The request came at the perfect time. I’ve often found, that when I am in need of something, the best way to get it is to give it. So, this week, when I myself was in need of encouragement, I was more than happy to encourage others. The interview went well, and as expected, I found myself energized, inspired and looking forward to the rest of the day.

At noon, my children and I took a trip up to our soon-to-be new home, to check out the local homeschooling community. It was a wonderful day spent hiking and in the company of resourceful and generous homeschooling mothers. I learned a lot about the family-friendly and educational resources in the area and am feeling more confident about relocating. Most of all, my children are excited and looking forward to living in a more relaxed environment.

I’m truly enjoying the free time I have with my family at this time and am doing my best to cherish each moment. Today I took lots of pictures (and several short videos) of our fun with friends in the mountains and at the beach. I’ve a feeling that I am going to need these mementos in the coming months, especially when I am knee-deep in theory and statistics.
