Winter greetings, Safe Haven Family!
In today’s email, I’m sharing some great resources for your homeschool for January and the New Year. I’ll also share some coaching opportunities that will help you to actually keep your New Year’s resolutions. If you have some homeschool or health goals, I’ve got you covered! It’s so much easier to stay focused and consistent when you have some accountability.
For your Homeschool:
❄️Meet my friend, Dachelle, at a live virtual poetry teatime. She is so much fun! Your kids will love her. If you love all things Winnie the Pooh, this is the poetry teatime for you! You will be meeting online on Jan. 14 at 10 AM Central.
Here’s the link to sign up:
❄️Her website Literary Adventures for Kids has MANY online Book Clubs that will add sparkle and enchantment to your Language Arts program. She says they add some fairy dust to lessons and go down rabbit trails to make Language Arts much more interesting and exciting!
❄️Get this FREE Winter Bucket List from Your Homeschool Companion. It has lots of great free or cheap ideas for activities you can do at home to ring in the New Year.
❄️If you’re not sure how to teach writing to your kids, this is a great resource that will help. In this bundle you get: “How to Write a Sentence”, “How to Write a Paragraph”, and “How to Write Poetry”. This is from Crafty Classroom which has excellent products that are always colorful and engaging.
I have a question for you…
❄️Is your homeschooling going as well as you would like?
If not, you may want to get a homeschool life coach. That’s me!
I can help you clarify what’s working and what’s not and how you can make some small changes that will transform frustration to success. Small tweaks lead to giant peaks!
You don’t need to do this all alone!
I can help you:
Create no-cry, no-meltdown homeschool days!
Yell less, smile more, in your homeschool.
Transform your homeschool mindset.
📚Is your curriculum not working for you? I can help with curriculum choices.
🫂Are you having relationship issues? I can give you some helpful tips about that.
📔I can also help you develop a plan that is realistic for your family.
Just sign up for Coaching here on Teachable and we can get started. I’ll take you through “The Basics of Learning and Homeschooling” course (you can check that out here), and we will have 30 minute one-on-one calls up to twice a month.

For Your Health:
I have been trying to get healthier. I’m doing several different things to work on my physical fitness and my mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being. These are things that I’ve been able to stick with because of great coaches!
For the physical fitness, I’m doing Praise Moves with Janita Walker. It’s like Yoga, but it’s not. The moves we make are based on Hebrew letters, and we recite Scripture the whole time we’re doing the moves. We usually work our way through a passage of Scripture during our sessions. It is an intense workout. I do a lot of sweating each time! But it’s not aerobics or anything high-impact. It’s just stretching in ways that you may not have ever stretched before. That’s how it was for me. I feel a lot stronger since I’ve been doing it for about a year. I have better balance, too. If you want to join us, reply to this email, and I’ll send you her contact information.
I have a coach for my mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. Her name is Carrie Rebecca Jones. She has training in IBRT (Integrated Bioenergetic Restoration Therapy), and she studies many techniques to help people get free of past traumas and trapped emotions.
She describes what she does here:
“I am a trauma informed transformational coach.
Quantum Bioenergetic release of trapped emotions,
restructuring of emotional energy with core truths,
creating new structures of belief with higher vibrational emotions
enabling your entire being to resonate as a life you love, and loving the life you live, and living the life you love while experiencing joy, peace, love, abundance, and health.
I incorporate other tools such as heart brain coherence, Sozo, Courts of Heaven, Magnetic Mind Superconscious Healing and Transformation, EFT (Emotional freedom technique – tapping to move emotional energy), and Emotion Codes.”
Here is her website. Check it out and book a session with her to help you get beyond fear and trauma from the past and experience God’s love for you in a way that you never have before. Carrie’s heart and demeanor is so loving and gentle that you feel the Father’s love through her.
Have you tried deep breathing and meditation? This is not a Yoga or New Age thing. This is a practice that has lots of scientific evidence that shows that it has amazing health benefits.
Here are some YouTube videos by Carrie Rebecca that you can use to help you meditate and do some deep breathing to get more oxygen to your brain and help to calm and center yourself. This is all Christ-centered and based on Scripture. Her YouTube channel is called Organic Life by Divine Design.
Here’s a free tip: For a detox bath for parasites, Carrie recommends using Hydrogen Peroxide, Borax, Baking Soda, Epsom Salt, and Vinegar. If you want to know the amounts, let me know, and I’ll find out from her and send it to you.
Here’s to making changes that will bring transformation to every part of our lives – starting now!

"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
