Hey ,

A while ago, I signed up for a subscription to help me write better/more emails, because I really don't have all that much to say and I don't like writing. (My son is sitting at the kitchen table right now, huffing in frustration, and I know it's over writing. I feel ya, kid.) This week, the recommendation is to send you a song that makes me happy.

Uh oh. That's a really long list!! Like "favorite games," "favorite foods," or "favorite places," "favorite song" (or "happy song") gets unreasonable really fast. See, I spent 11 formative years taking private violin lessons, and 12 years post-graduation teaching violin lessons. That's a lot of favorite pieces to accumulate! And then there are all the pop, country, rock, and alternative songs I enjoy.

But okay, I think I can do this.

This song came on Pandora the other day and I was reminded just how much it spoke to me as a teen, and I got even more meaning from it as an adult.

And here are a few more things that might put a smile on your face this week:

1. This article only states what we all know, but I love how affirming it is and if you need some ammo for conversations with family, it might help.
2. This article is rather old (2018) but is by one of my favorite writers (again, I have a lot of favorites here!) about homeschooling and explores how I think education should be.
3. Another article to help affirm your choice to homeschool and provide some more evidence for conversations.

Happy clicking! Hit reply and share your favorite song with me, too. Until next time,

Happy Gaming!
