Thank you for your message and your kind words. Just as I mentioned in the post, I don’t have any children, but I greatly admire someone like yourself who does and recognizes the importance of trying to be consciously present in their lives, rather than simply going through the same old motions.

I feel a strong pull toward working in the arena of alternative forms of schooling and education. The educational system is a huge part of that village, yet we often fail to recognize the cookie cutter approach of teaching, educating and mentoring children does not work.

Sure some kids do well in the more “standardized” environment, but it’s time we start providing better options and choices for our kids that aren’t a match to the traditional route. It’s time to start creating more environments in which they can thrive through receiving an education which takes into consideration their unique talents, and creative capabilities, along with nourishing and nurturing the activities which they are drawn towards.

Thanks for visiting and participating.
