Wanted: Passionate Unschoolers
Wanted:
Parents who are passionate about sharing unschooling with the world.
Do you like writing and speaking?
Are you willing to tell some family stories?
Do you enjoy pondering new ideas?
Are you continually learning and growing?
Is unconditional love important to you?
Do you enjoy my blog and podcast?
Are we kindred spirits?
Would you like to work together?
For the past year or more, I’ve been wondering if I need to move in a new direction. Now that all my kids are grown up and I have no more stories to tell, perhaps I should leave unschooling behind, let go of my blog and podcast, and go do something else.
But recently, I had another idea. Perhaps it’s not me who needs to move on. Could it be my blog that needs to change direction? Could I stay here and continue blogging and podcasting with the help of other unschoolers? Perhaps what my blog and I need is new input: fresh ideas and stories from other people.
So this is what I’m thinking:
What if I included contributions from you on my blog? Maybe we could collaborate on my podcast? What if I helped you promote your own work?
What if we worked together, sharing our ideas and enthusiasm, offering each other friendship and support?
Would my blog and podcast grow in value? Would I help you in return? Would we learn together?
Would I feel less alone? Would I still have a place in this online unschooling world?
So what do you think? Are my ideas, experiences and aims in line with yours? Are we kindred spirits wanting to share love with the world? Do you think we could work with each other? If we did, would we end up somewhere unexpected and amazing?
Shall we set out on a new adventure together?

I’d love to sit at a cafe table with you, drinking coffee and discussing ideas. My daughter Imogen frequently does that with her writing friends. They gather together in Sydney to organise their NaNoWriMo events, plan book fairs and encourage each other with their writing projects. Collaboration is good, isn’t it? Together, we have better ideas. We achieve more. We feel supported. Together, we could open up a world of possibilities!
Please stop by…
… and share your thoughts. (Silence is discouraging!) Even if you don’t feel able to work with me, perhaps you have some additional ideas you’d like to offer. Maybe you’d just like to say hello!
