Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Would you please pray for me and my family. I've been struggling with the challenges of our family and home educating. Feels like I'm swinging from the end of the proverbal rope!

With thanks,
Tricia.

Praying for you and your family! I know so many homeschooling mothers who feel this way including myself at times!

Dear Tricia, I think every mother can relate to your emotions at present. After twenty years of homeschooling myself there have been plenty of times when I felt overloaded and overwhelmed. If its any consolation at all, please be assured you are "normal", and this too shall pass. Take a minute to take care of "the mommy".... slow your rope swinging down just a bit if you are able to, ''take a deep breath whenever it feels all like too much, and try to hold this thought; these are tomorrow's memories. It's okay to allow yourself to get through these days however possible. I wrote a recent post for the Loveliness of Autumn fair on this very thing, so you are not, not, not alone. Thinking of you, praying for you and hoping you have a great day today. God Bless!
