This is my first blog post. I'm not quite sure what I want this Blog to be about. I just know that I am feeling like I am entering a new "stage" in life and I am learning many new things. If other people are feeling the way I am, my posts might help them. By doing this, I too, will hopefully find other people who are feeling the way I am and I guess I'm looking at it as a sort of "therapy." I am navigating through unknown territory in my life. I have been a mom since I was 20. I feel that role slipping away and I'm not sure how to live my life now. I am also learning a lot about myself; I have been really thinking about what I believe about life. Is there a God? I'm thinking, no. I have been researching atheism, agnosticism as well as Christianity. The answer seems pretty obvious to me and I wonder why it's not to others. Especially other people whom I regard as intelligent. I feel like, if people want to have that spiritual connection or relationship, I get that. I don't understand though, why people can't understand and acknowledge that in 2009, we know how things work and how they don't. Why is this myth still being inserted into our government? But, I digress...
My two older boys attended public school and it was an uphill battle the entire way. I will be homeschooling my 9 year old, beginning September of 2010 (if not before- long story) and I am hoping that this will be a place for me to discuss that topic as well. I also teach online college courses, so higher education is important to me as well. Kids, empty nest "syndrome," religion, politics, higher education, homeschooling and the negative aspects of public schooling are the main topics on my mind at this point. :-)
