I love thrifting! Giving the gifts of books, once loved {or pining with unrequited love}, are given a second chance!
•
Some of these are destined for gifts {myself included!}, some are to restock the @littlefreelibrary locations I love or discover! I love to bring books with me when I travel ✈️📚🖤
•
The games? Those are for my husbands stocking! Shhhhhh! Don’t tell 🖤
•
Buying second hand, using what you have, is not only easy on the wallet, but it’s also easy on the earth 🖤
•
This Holiday Season, in the midst of all the unnecessary overconsumption, think about giving second hand, hand made, or experiences instead of things🖤
•
How are you spending your time this Holiday Season?

Hi!
•
This hair is on its way to help others.
•
I met fellow home educator, @backyardowls , this summer at the Bravelearner Conference. •
We hit it off right away - like so many of the other mamas there - because we have shared values. When I saw her son cut his locks to donate to Children with Hair Loss, I knew that’s where my hair would go too.
•
I’ve been growing my hair out and chopping it for charity every 3-4 years, the last 20 years or so. My hair grows so fast, it’s a small thing I can do to bring comfort to a child experiencing hair loss.
•
I’d let my hair grow out longer than usual this time - this is my ‘cancer’ hair. Waist length, I had a hard time letting go of it this time. Survivors guilt, changes to my body, lack of control.... numerous emotional changes kept me clinging to it. But I’m stronger now, I’m finally feeling good and gaining clarity on myself, my health, and my future.
•
It was time to let the past go.
•
It’s not about the grand gestures, it’s about making intentional decisions - how will I choose to spend my time, my energy, my focus.
•
This is a very easy, small gesture I can make to put a little more light out there in the world.
•
Gandhi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” - this is how I choose to do it. I home educate.
I donate my hair
I read. A lot.
•
When life can be so unpredictable, overwhelming, or sad, when we focus on those small things we can do to advocate change - we make a difference. •
I may want to “...rage’ against the dying of the light, “ but choosing kindness, gratitude, and grace is always the way to change the world....
•
....one heart at a time.
•
Be the Change 🖤

If you’re doing long range plans you’re more organized than me.

I am 😊 Homeschooling through High School needs to have a structure and focus. Like any other education center, we have our core classes. However, because we’re educating for college bound students, we’re layering core courses to compliment one another allowing for many opportunities to follow interest-led learning, occupational education, and volunteering into the schedule. It’s all aiming towards a finite target, but the path can wind 😉

My children are a few years away – but likely taking college classes sooner rather than later 😉
