Conferences

I had a great time in June attending the HEMS conference for homeschooling families. Todd Wilson was a dynamic speaker who encouraged us all to persevere in this home-centered journey and to treasure the moments we have with our children.

It was also a fantastic opportunity to talk with other families about this new endeavor on which I am embarking: a concert band for homeschooling families!  I have missed the dynamics of a community band and was encouraged that there are others who are equally excited about being a part of one.

This month, I attended a Kindermusik Conference in Halifax. I enjoyed talking--and singing-- with dedicated and qualified educators from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Ontario.  I was energised and inspired to find new ways of connecting with families as I share in their greatest adventure: parenting!

Beginnings

Beginnings are so full of excitement, anticipation, and possibility.  As I begin organising a concert band for homeschoolers in HRM, I am so excited about the journey ahead.  I am most excited thinking of the families I will meet and of how they will bless and enrich my life. I am also excited to think of the relationships that will develop or deepen between band members, of the fun times we will share, of the rewards we will experience for our diligence, commitment, and--yes--hard work work.  Who is willing to join me on this new adventure?
