Our Big WHY? of Homeschool

September 4, 2020September 4, 2020 Sue Broshear

Every time there's a major change in my life, I decide to cut my hair to mark the moment. Am I bald yet this year? Well not quite, but it's getting pretty darn close! I may be by Christmas...Stay tuned! Our family is about to embark on yet another new adventure in 2020. We've decided… Continue reading Our Big WHY? of Homeschool

Fill the Bus!

August 17, 2020August 17, 2020 Sue Broshear

The deadline to sign-up was drawing closer and the question loomed in our minds... Will every seat be filled?? It was 2006. My grad year of university. Six close friends and I were planning a trip to Missouri. This was no ordinary road trip though. We rented a 60-person coach bus for the 12 hour… Continue reading Fill the Bus!

Who pressed the Pause Button?

March 19, 2020August 17, 2020 Sue BroshearLeave a comment

We called 2019  "The Year of the Kite"... It taught us to live with greater trust & abandon. To be honest, it felt more like being one of those Suzy-Stretch dolls from the '90's! "Well, 2020 may be the Year of the Tornado", I joke.  Our routines and plans swept off the calendar in a… Continue reading Who pressed the Pause Button?

Let the kite flying begin

July 31, 2019 Sue BroshearLeave a comment

It feels like coming home as I write this to you. It’s been a season that has required more of me, with less opportunity to share words and thoughts in this space. It’s stormy out tonight, but with a warm summer rain and very gentle rolling thunder. The kids and I curled up on a… Continue reading Let the kite flying begin

New Year, New Truths, New You

January 1, 2019January 1, 2019 Sue Broshear1 Comment

Dear Friend, Wishing you a very Happy New Year! If there was one gift I could deliver to your door this day, it would be encased in words instead of wrapping. A declaration of who you are, what you mean to others, and who you can become in 2019. Unwrap the truths that you need… Continue reading New Year, New Truths, New You

Make Room to Breathe

November 29, 2018July 11, 2020 Sue Broshear1 Comment

Eager for some breathing room? Cringe at the pace? A little overwhelmed by it all? Here's the truth of where I'm at... maybe you can relate. My voice has been quiet here for a few months. Not out of disinterest, or a renewed passion elsewhere, but sheer depletion.  This fall was been a season where… Continue reading Make Room to Breathe

When Love Wins the Day

October 18, 2018October 18, 2018 Sue Broshear4 Comments

A battle is raging in our homes today.  Fatigue wears at our spirits and bodies. We can sometimes feel defeated and wonder if we're losing control. Can respect and joy, consistency and calmness, be our daily reality? I've been on the losing side of many a power struggle. "Clean up on aisle 9 please! A… Continue reading When Love Wins the Day

Bring on the Joy!

October 15, 2018October 20, 2018 Sue Broshear10 Comments

  "Oh Mommy,... I love that you're silly!" We laughed as I hugged him. Loving, patient, strong, hard-working, respected. We all aspire to these, but is silly in the Top 10? I'll be honest, I'm on the nurture side when it comes to silly.   My mom, however, pulsed crazy fun since birth! Dad used to… Continue reading Bring on the Joy!

When Broken turns into Beautiful

October 11, 2018October 20, 2018 Sue Broshear2 Comments

We were wrapping up a family vacation with popcorn and a movie.  Our three-year old was enthralled in every vivid-coloured car that sped across the screen. "Well, that was a good movie,"  Papa nodded with a smile. "Papa!! ....It's not good.....  It's GREAT!!!" Eli's dramatic reply and expressive hand actions had us laughing right out loud. He… Continue reading When Broken turns into Beautiful
