The other night, my husband asked if
I would like to bike down to our favorite date night spot by the river. It was
already 8:00pm, but I said yes...and what a ride. The way down, was,
predictably, not too bad. Heading home later in the dark, the Mississippi was
beautiful and mysterious. Then we had to climb the hills. I cursed his cute
little trim rear end half the way home...until we turned into the woods, and it
was magic. The drone of the locusts, the dark, the creek bubbling along the
path. There was no one but us and the wild of the forest dwellers.
My husband regularly takes me out of
my comfort zone. Without his encouragement, I would maybe not use my bike very
often. He opens up new vistas and experiences for me in the same town I have
lived in for fifteen years. All it takes from me is a "yes," and a
little uphill climbing, to soar.

homeschool? knit? cook? speak
another language? Make Waldorf more a part of our lives? find nature, even in
the city? YES YOU CAN! Taking a willing participant along on the journey makes
my day. I am so very fortunate to have people who take me along on new
ventures, literally.
You will have to find your own questions, and your own reason for asking them, but I am absolutely determined that if you ask me, my response will be a resounding...OF COURSE! If you are willing to put in the effort, the rest will follow, people will show up to help you, the universe will open up possibilities and you will paint, dance, cook, sing, knit, homeschool along the Waldorf/Steiner path. You will love life again. This blog is meant for one reason: to empower you, the Waldorf homeschooling mother or father, to confidently say, “yes, I can do this!”
