I want to start by thanking Lori for letting me interview her for this new blog. I know she stays busy with her kids and with making necklaces, so I really appreciate her taking the time to work with me.
I learned a lot more about home schooling after talking with her. Socialization is the big thing that caught my eye, as you probably noticed. I’ve always had tucked in the back of my head the idea that school is better for socializing our kids and much of what I read on the topic challenged that idea. I’ve always had great respect for parents who choose to home school, since I know it takes organization and dedication to their children. I watched my aunt home school her children for many years and saw how they thrived and how much energy she gave to them in the process. Now I have many friends who home school and I continue to be in awe of the commitment they make to helping their children reach their potential.
Another occupation that takes organization, dedication, and commitment is that of freelance writer. I’m just stepping out into the writing world in a serious way, and I have been fortunate to have a friend who is already working as a freelance writer. Her name is Lynn and she’s becoming very well known for her blog, Virtual Wordsmith, thanks to her author interviews and book reviews. My interview with Lynn will be coming soon!
