Tribal Blessings

Thursdays are easily my most favorite day of the week
because I get my weekly connection with a bunch of my
most favorite people in the world. Let me introduce them.

These are the moms in my homeschool tribe.

I am so blessed to share this part of
my life with them, support them and
their kids and receive their support in
return.

They make the journey so much more joyous
and I am super grateful to be with them and
participate in the growth of their kids.

We meet in the mornings sometimes for schooling
and always for connection.

If anyone says there aren't opportunities for socialization in homeschool I can honestly say that is just not true.

This is my knit tribe. There are others
who slip in and out from time to time but
these folks are the core of my group.

What can I say about how amazing these people are?
Wonderfully geeky, funny and just an all around blast
to hang out with. We had a 'Lord of the Rings' movie
trilogy knit along complete with Hobbit meals which was
possibly one of the brightest highlights of our friendship.

Another thing that's the best is that my daughter and her friend (my other daughter) are part of this group
so I get to share knitting and geekiness with them too! How cool is it that I am/was a cool enough mom that
my daughter still likes hanging out with me as a 20 something? This is another blessing that I am in deep awe
and gratitude for having in my life.

As I connected with these two groups today I thought of you and how much I'm enjoying being part of this
internet tribe who have gathered around Effy's blog-along. And thinking about you coming and reading my
leaves of wisdom and me reading yours made my heart swell with even more awe and gratitude.
And even though I knew I wouldn't get here until late today I wanted to show up to this page again so
I could connect with you because I am starting to believe that showing up no matter how late at night
with little or much to say is the greatest expression of gratitude I can show right now.

So thank you again for sharing this journey with me.

What amazing tribes you are connected to!! When I homeschooled my daughters, I also found there was no lack of socialization. There was a lack of violence and chaos but no lack of outside connection with other homeschooled children. My son is now in his third year of law school and my daughter has a Masters degree in education so I think that teaching them at home when they were young gave them a deep respect for the entire learning process, not the learning to get grades concept. As a member of your Internet tribe I admire the joy and enthusiasm you bring to all you encounter! Absolutely priceless! Thank you. It is a joy to connect with you

Our tribes are, I believe, extensions of ourselves. They are reflections of our brilliance, our creativity, our love of life.

I loved meeting your tribes, goddess, and thrilled to be part of your online one.

Bliss-ings,
the goddess Jacqui
