Have you ever wondered whether you need a coach or a therapist? The concept of professional neurodiversity coaching is relatively new, especially when compared with traditional therapy. Do let’s talk about it. The distinction between the two matters enormously to me, both as someone building a coaching practice and as

Most of the time, they’re harmless. But according to cybersecurity company Malwarebytes, criminals are now sending fake “PDF” files that aren’t actually documents at all. If opened, they can give hackers remote control
New year, same brain. That’s not a problem—it’s the opportunity. Every January, small business owners are told they need more: more content, more hustle, more offers, more platforms. But for many people, the issue has never been “not enough effort.” The issue is that the systems they’re using were
You chose homeschooling for a reason. Maybe it’s faith-based education, learning freedom, protecting your child’s curiosity, or creating a schedule that actually fits your family’s life.

Hi everyone. I wanted to take a moment to remember Jane Goodall. Although I knew about her when I was a child, it wasn’t until a fellow member of the Y-HOP homeschool group told us about her Roots & Shoots program to introduce children to environmental stewardship that I really
It’s important that our children develop their body image and control early in life since it does impact their ability to learn and participate in sports, dance and more. I didn’t have time in my video to discuss the various ways that parents can help strengthen this skill, so here’s
I’m being innovative! Actually, I’m working on getting over my fear of the camera by discussing things with you, like the visual skills that affect learning. So, here’s my debut video with resources. P.S. Here’s how you spell that word that I mangled during this recording – proprioceptive.
Change is often met with resistance, both from within and from the world around us. It’s easy to stay within the boundaries of what’s comfortable, but growth rarely happens in comfort zones. Reinventing yourself isn’t about discarding who you are; it’s about embracing the possibility of who you can become.
As summer winds down and the kids head back to school, many moms find themselves with a little extra time to focus on personal projects. For some, this means finally taking the plunge into starting a new side hustle or business venture. If that sounds like you, then you’re in
Starting your business sounds great, but sometimes it takes a while for people like me to understand all that it entails. Initially, I focused on the money I needed to make to continue homeschooling and helping my husband meet my family’s needs. Eventually, my small enterprise grew, but I needed
I’ve heard of it and even taken a look when it first came out, but not being a graphically-inclined person, I was like “meh”, I’ll stick to what I know. That was my stance until I recently needed to create a meal planner to help with the agony of wondering
You’re always hearing about “start a home-based business” or “be your own boss”. But what no one ever mentions is that when you start a business, you’re moving into a whole new world full of choices. If you’re like me, when you started your business, you used your own (or
I’m totally plagarizing this from my daughter. Poetry has never been my “thing” — well, unless I was turning it into a song — but I do enjoy reading this one. I hope you do too. Fall, a season whole trees bleed change Colors spark and glow in the misty
I don’t think that I’ve mentioned it, but I have chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). I suspect it was a present from a deer tick that gave me Lyme disease, but that’s a whole other story. Anyway, my friend introduced me to her doctor and
The great RV-experiment wouldn’t have been possible without the great gear that we found for the pesky felines and friends. Having your travel gear for you pet, especially in an RV should be a top priority. The RV dealer related a story of how one couple’s cat got stuck in
Originally the plan was to leave bright and early the next day right after the cats medical needs were met. but of course plans never seem to work out that easily. The night before our departure, Rags, our 14-year old puppy took a tumble down the stairs. He wasn’t walking
I thought the most difficult part of my RV adventure would be to find a rental that would allow pets. In some ways, that was a challenge, bringing the RV was a trip! Here’s what happened … The Pick Up We went to the RV Rental and got a walkthrough
We’re going to visit some relatives so a road trip is in order. It costs less to bring the zoo with us than to board them, so we are venturing into RV world. It took a bit of research (and a smart daughter) to connect us to the CruiseAmerica RVs
My family and I watched Amend: The Fight for America recently. It is a powerful docuseries that explores the history and power of the 14th Amendment. Lately, people spend a lot of time “talking” about the Second Amendment or the First Amendment. You rarely hear about the 14th Amendment in
Sundays are interesting days of the week. If you’re of a religious frame of mind it’s a time for resting. If you’re in an anxious frame of mind, once it hits the late afternoon it’s a time to begin dreading the start of a new work week. When I was
Before you get all, “Oh no, another airy fairy pep talk” there is no need to fear. I think that most people are capable of creating the life of their dreams if they would stop listening to those who say, “this is the only way to do X.” I grew
