WEMH #193 The Art of Living Happily

1/15/2021

While I was gathering stories for next month's My America Story Book, I stumbled onto a chapter about Dorothy Canfield Fisher, who wrote Understood Betsy, our first book in the Sunshine Series. When I read it, I knew I had to share it with you. She talks about the art of living happily and the 'adventure' of everyday living. Very WEH-y.

Link to the chapter.

WEMH #190 Sleeping Beauty and True Love's First Kiss

10/2/2020

4 Comments

I was invited to speak to a group in St. George months ago...Covid turned it into a virtual presentation, but I enjoyed visiting with these wonderful women via Zoom for about an hour after the presentation.

I talked about the importance of Beauty in our lives--this is a message that isn't just for homeschoolers. A love of Beauty is not only how we will survive challenges, it is what will heal our world.

WEMH #187 Harriet Beecher Stowe

8/4/2020

1 Comment

It's been awhile since I did a podcast! In preparing the written version of the podcasts, I came across the notes I put together about Harriet Beecher Stowe, but evidently I never finished the podcast.

As I read through them, I thought of how many Well-Educated Heart principles were incorporated in her life, so I thought, as you are gearing up for a new school year, it would be a perfect time to share her story.

So I finished writing it up...and here it is!

I haven't done a podcast for awhile! It's about time...

I frequently use the quote: "Oh, if the world could only stop long enough for one generation of mothers to be alright, what a Millennium could be begun in thirty years!"

Would you like to know more about the woman behind the quote?

WEMH #184 An Example of Heart-Based Learning

2/17/2020

It's been awhile since I've done a podcast. Someone sent a manuscript of a book she has written and I thought it was such a wonderful example of what heart-based learning looks like, that I wanted to share parts of it with you. With her permission, of course.
