![]() Today we are starting and though my plans are made and ready my stomach still flutters ~ On Beginnings (a haiku by me) I scribbled those words as we sat down to begin our structured homeschooling time this morning. I wanted to acknowledge those nervous flutters that usually accompany starting something new because those flutters are every bit a part of the homeschool (or any other) experience. And denying or ignoring them has only served to make them stronger in the past. I took a deep breath and wrote down how I was feeling. Once again (to my surprise) that little bit of acknowledgement helped me move through it with so much grace and ease I didn't even consider it until I sat down to share this with you. Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought that once you get skilled at something the fluttery fear goes away. But I'm discovering the fluttery fear stays and while it can be a good thing (because I know it means there's a desire to do my best) in the past I've used it to keep me from going forward. So I'm putting this here as a reminderIf acknowledging the fear of beginning a new homeschool year dissipates the fear,
why not acknowledge the fear of other things ...like coming back to this page after having a world rocking experience with blogging? And just like that the words I want to share today flow out of me...not as orderly as my critical mind would like them to be but I don't mind mining for gems. They are hidden beneath the fear.
