In a cd by John Maxwell, he talked about the fact that when you die people will sum you up in one sentence, so select it now and live it purposefully. I heard a great quote by a Bollywood actor Kamalahasan, who said that death is to life as a period is to a sentence. Combining these two ideas, I’d like to set this idea up for you to think about. Death is inevitable, as is the punctuation at the end of a sentence. What kind of life sentence do you desire: is it long, but run-on; mediocre and useless; short and sweet; succinct and intelligent; wise and humorous; and or full of passion and vitality? It is up to you, as it is your life. Pick it now, then live it so that your thoughts, words and actions all reflect your truth (as Colette Carlson calls it), all reflect your life sentence.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. I did not mean to write resolutions and by accident typoed revolutions. I have been working on these revolutions for the last few years. Read Chris Brady’s article to gain a fuller understanding of why I am doing this. I want to grow and become different,I want to be a mover and a shaker in an important movement. These are some of my past choices.

So, why are we homeschooling?

Well, it started with the fact that we are very committed to doing Suzuki violin with our older three children, as well as competitive tennis. Between us working two full-time jobs, the older two attending regular school, homework, etc, it was and would continue to be a very busy life, the RAT race as it is called, and we wanted out. With a lot of inspiration from great leadership material we were plugged into (books and cds), we made three big decisions in a short time.
