schooling from the stillness

So, I've thought about blogging for some time now. Well, not too much time but since my 14 yr.old was given the assignment to start a blog, it just made sense for me to do it too. Thank you Karen:)

I am Michelle Davies-Smith. Mick was my nickname growing up and those close to me still use it with affection (and plenty of other emotions hehe)
I have a 14 year old boy, Tyler. An 8 1/2 year old daughter, Morgan and a 4 1/2 year old son, Hunter. We have two cats, Prince and Angie as well as the dog they rule over, Foxxy. And my dear Husband and hardworking partner, Andy.
My blog will mostly entail our triumphs of the homeschooling days.This basically encompasses everything, for much of my waking hours are devoted to teaching my children in one way or another.
Maybe I will blog once a week. Maybe more,maybe less... I will have to see how my next step comes about. And, perhaps I will include my frustrations. But most of all, I hope to convey what comes about and unfolds from living life from stillness. There will also be days where it will be very clear that I have forgotten the stillness and well, some days could come from fear,pain and self-violence. But my intention is to blog and come from LOVE, stillness which keeps me in the present moment, therefor assisting me in carrying out the will of the Universe, Mother/Father/God, The Goddess....the stillness.
So, here is my first tidbit. Something the Dalai Lama posted on Facebook (that seems odd that the Dalai Lama posts on Facebook but then, how else would he teach me my lessons of living on this planet earth ?:)

"Modern education pays attention to the development of the brain and the intellect, but this is not enough. We need also to be able to develop warm-heartedness in our educational systems. This we need from kindergarten all the way through university."
This is very Steiner like. Something I will blog more about in the future, along with Waldorf Education and our first completions of the homeschool week. I hope to find my way through this blog experience and to share the musings of my highest self with all who find interest in it.
