Fi...</title><content type='html'>Here are my reasons for reading and returning…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First off I like you! You are a person I believe I would enjoy in real life. We share common values, faith, interests. Beyond that….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like looking into the life of a now grown homeschooler. Since I wasn’t homeschooled myself I don’t know what it’s like to be an adult after homeschooling. Since I am homeschooling my 3 kids I like seeing what a grown up homeschooler looks like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enjoy seeing a young adult discover and deal with what life throws at you. I am turning 45 this month (YIKES!) so it’s been awhile since I started my first job, married my husband, waited for my first child, etc. It’s fun to watch you go through all the things we all do in our 20’s and 30’s. It brings back memories of the days when I was doing the same things. Learning the same things. AND it reminds me that my kids will someday (SOON!) be learning and doing these things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find it interesting to see “behind the scenes” at Sonlight. Sonlight has been a part of our everyday life since 2000. So, I feel like I have some vested interest in company! I seem to spend many, many hours talking to homeschoolers about Sonlight. Inviting people over to look through our boxes of Sonlight, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, I LOVE the way you talk about your parents! Always so respectful and loving! I love hearing what you think they did right. I love hearing how they still influence you. I am watching and hopefully learning how to have a good relationship with my children when they are adults.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sure there are more reason. But, those are the ones that come to mind. Thanks for sharing your life. I do look forward to seeing your posts in my inbox!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jamin&lt;br /&gt;http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/jaminacema</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1863020991085450913/4441713659466737248/comments/default/8131952964506266822'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1863020991085450913/4441713659466737248/comments/default/8131952964506266822'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.sonlightblog.com/2010/02/that-was-brilliant-before.html?showComment=1265641704425#c8131952964506266822' title=''/><author><name>Jamin</name><uri>http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/jaminacema</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.sonlightblog.com/2010/02/that-was-brilliant-before.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863020991085450913.post-4441713659466737248' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1863020991085450913/posts/default/4441713659466737248' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863020991085450913.post-3772069535191985181</id><published>2010-02-05T15:32:09.892-07:00</published><updated>2010-02-05T15:32:09.892-07:00</updated><title type='text'>looking back at past work is almost always a good ...</title><content type='html'>looking back at past work is almost always a good idea! great way to see how far you&amp;#39;ve come, or how much further you can go. your topics and humor are some of the reasons i&amp;#39;ll keep coming back to this blog - being able to link golden lines for my Facebook status is another .... &lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;a slightly irrational belief in one&amp;#39;s own brilliance is a boon to learning how to produce brilliant things&amp;quot;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1863020991085450913/4441713659466737248/comments/default/3772069535191985181'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1863020991085450913/4441713659466737248/comments/default/3772069535191985181'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.sonlightblog.com/2010/02/that-was-brilliant-before.html?showComment=1265409129892#c3772069535191985181' title=''/><author><name>desilou freebush</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00917838290625525289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03007386859794054460'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.sonlightblog.com/2010/02/that-was-brilliant-before.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863020991085450913.post-4441713659466737248' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1863020991085450913/posts/default/4441713659466737248' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
