Open Minds School of Discovery is officially registered and legal for operation as of Tuesday! I still have to withdraw Doran from public school, but the biggest part of the process has been completed. Now to get started!
Even though we are legal, we won't officially begin taking attendance for at least a couple of weeks. While I've been steadily and eagerly assembling materials and reading, reading, reading, I still have some loose ends to tie up before jumping in to our next big adventure. I have been on a roller coaster ride of emotions the past couple of weeks, trying to listen to my heart (and my son) and tune out other people's expectations. I'm a people-pleasing approval seeker but my heart's desires are often unconventional, so one can only imagine the inner turmoil I experience on a regular basis. Ultimately I've had to accept that there is no "right" answer in this situation. I've had to make a choice between two appealing options and hope my intuition leads me well as it has many times before.
So I'm nervous and excited and eager to see what adventures await! I know we'll face challenges and I may even feel like giving up, but I know neither one of us will be the same for the experience, and that feels just wonderful.
Best of all, I have a new-found reason to blog more frequently (I know, I know, I've said that before). I think this will be a great way to document our experience. I'll even schedule time into our day for it. Goodness knows that's the only way it'll get done!
