Journeys...

What journey are you on? What journey are you leading your homeschoolers on? We all have different abilities so maybe our journeys (or goals) shouldn't always be the same. We all need space and support to learn and to grow into the best version of ourselves we can be.

  I love this quote...

I don't want my special needs homeschoolers feeling "less than" because academics are hard for them. I don't want any of my children ever feeling "less than" because something is difficult. I need to make sure the feedback I am giving is positive. I need to make sure I am helping them with their journey.

Because...

 I will be carrying that quote in my mind with me through these little years, through these homeschool years. Everyone is on their own journey. For their journey I am merely the current guide. For my own journey, I am the captain.

And so,  I have a little journey news of my own....my journey is leading me to apply for graduate school again. While I love being a speech language pathologist, I have been doing speech therapy for 17 years and feel the need to make a change. So, my journey has led me to apply for graduate school again, with the goal this time being to earn my MA in History.  I should find out in the next few weeks if my application was accepted, so wish me luck! If accepted, I will start this fall.

People need the freedom to grow...to change...to try new things and to become the best version of themselves.   I feel so fortunate to have a husband and a family who are supportive of this new endeavor and know me well enough to know that I am at my happiest when I am learning.  I don't want fear or fatigue to keep me from this journey, so I am rolling up my sleeves and making it happen.

Where is your journey taking you this year? Where are you taking your little homeschoolers?

Blessings to you!
