I homeschooled my three daughters, Lauren, Aidan, and April for fourteen years. The girls began school in public education. It took time for me to observe their behavior, recognize their needs, and choose a new educational path. Becoming my children’s teacher taught me to listen to each one and meet their needs with an open heart. Homeschooling, as with parenting, opened the door to my growth and transformation.

As April graduated from high school my teaching career ended. Recognizing that what I had created in homeschooling was exceptional, I embarked on a final ‘capstone project’ of reflection. Understanding what I had intuitively created and bringing these lessons to my consciousness were vital. Every Heart Homeschooling is the product of my process.

I have taken the road less traveled and I am blessed. Home education has revealed that loving and knowing myself are the keys to a peaceful home and vibrant education, that my active listening sets my children free to be themselves, and that learning is natural.
