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. 15/8/2013 13:35:17

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 16/8/2013 06:47:51
Our tribes are, I believe, extensions of ourselves. They are reflections of our brilliance, our creativity, our love of life. Comments are closed.
