We started homeschooling in 1997. I have served in a leadership roll in a homeschool support group along with coordinating co-op. Served as VBS director, AWANA leader and Scout master.
In 1999 I started a non profit, Education Jump-Off, and took in used curriculum on consignment. In 2006 with the prompting of my husband I went to college online to earn my associates in business. While Education Jump-Off has lost the non profit statues, the Lord, now in 2011, has instructed me to re-establish the organization.
As a child I was a compulsive liar and mom always said I would grow up to be a writer, hmmmm. During my teen years I wrote poetry to escape the many issues teens face. It has been a long time since I have written poetry, but I freelance on Examiner.com as the Baton Rouge Homeschool Examiner and of course blog.
As of July 2011 I have entered into a new part of my journey here on earth and the Lord has prompted to me to do less writing and blogging. My focus is on getting Education Jump-Off back where it once was along with where it is suppose to be. So, if you do not see any recent blogs it is because I am busy doing my Father's will. However, I do add new links frequently to the web site, Education Jump-Off so, please feel free to browse the many wonderful resources there.
What I love is God, my family, friends, fishing, hiking, camping, traveling when I can, tossing around the Frisbee or football, crafting, reading when I can, cooking and baking from scratch, music, writing, learning, exercising, helping others and I am sure there is more that I am leaving out. I just like to do a bunch of stuff and I have things I would like to do such as, learn to read music, stain glass, archery, kick box, fence, stick fight, boy I'm getting a little violent here, lol. Usually I like to write with the thought in mind that less is more, however there is more to me then less.
My personal motto is never stop learning.
