Well it seems another calendar year has flown by with many varying paths for each of our journeys. I find as the years are accumulating I’m being drawn to more focus on how those days and hours were spent, but more importantly looking ahead to another year of opportunity. In many ways that forward look may call us to do some “resetting” – of purpose, priorities, values, and other points of introspection and outrospection.
To that regard, Mandy Davis (introduced here last month for her audiobook A Matter of Principal, has been preparing for her new podcast The Monday Reset. Mandy’s focus and calling in life concerns the education of our children, and in particular equipping those who have chosen homeschooling as their model. Mandy and her family experienced the more traditional path of education, and with Mandy’s additional roles as an educator and school principal she developed increasing concern for her own kids’ learning, the processes, and the culture involved. This lead her family to make the transition of bringing that teaching into their home, but as she was soon to learn that can be a daunting task.
Mandy’s podcast is being developed to address those concerns. Several episodes and supporting content have already been recorded at Tesco Productions. With an understanding of the choices involved and the ramifications of those choices, the need for resources, practical helps and emotional support, Mandy will be sharing concise insights to help the homeschool parent and leader get a “reset” every week. With a planned launch of January 12 and each Monday thereafter, she will provide careful perspectives and helps without hype, politics and overbearing rhetoric. Her focus will be on creating a place of shelter and encouragement for those who often feel ostracized, overwhelmed, fearful and isolated in their educational efforts. Perspectives will also be shared for those still in the traditional school settings who are sensing some tugs of concern. Join Mandy Davis in this invitation to peace and purpose as you “reset together”.
