I’m scraping away at a stubborn feeling of unworthiness. My therapist has been super helpful in providing little practices to incorporate, while guiding me to discover necessary connections.
I’m allowing myself to recognize the gifts I’ve been given by God. He has seen fit to make me a weirdo. I’m attracted to fringe ideas and people. This has given me the opportunity to create space for others to explore their weirdness.
I’ve known this for some time, but I’m now recognizing that this is what makes me effective at spreading the message of unschooling.
I have another chance to speak at a homeschool convention and I see it as a chance to lean into my weirdness. I’m looking forward to crafting a hopeful narrative to help other homeschoolers reject their assumptions and consider a more voluntary learning lifestyle.
