I Love Julie

I love Julie Bogart. If you are a homeschooling parent, and you have heard of Julie, then this would be the only sentence needed in this post. You would knowingly nod your head and a smile would form at the corner of your mouth. Your heart would feel all warm and mushy and flutter. And you would go on about your day.

If you have not heard of her, then let me introduce you to her.

 

Julie Bogart, creator and owner of Brave Writer, the online writing and language arts program.

She is lovely. She has "been there, done that, and survived" with all of her adult children.  And she continues to encourage others who are there in the battlefield.

I discovered her through Periscope after one of the gals I follow from Homeschool Scopes shared one of her videos. I fell head over heels in Girl Crush with her. Then I searched her out and found her on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and her site The Homeschool Alliance. I look forward to her daily readings from her book A Gracious Space: Fall: Daily Reflections to Sustain Your Homeschooling Commitment (Volume 1). (She has one for Summer and Spring and Winter volumes as well.)

She is accomplished, and amazing, and phenomenal. She speaks like she writes. Fluid, gentle, clarity, and imagination. You feel like you are right there with her while she is doing a Facebook Live video or Periscope, as if you are sitting across from her at her kitchen table, sipping tea and listening earnestly and feeling much better.


About your parenting.

About the way you educate your child. 

About yourself.

About the world you live in.

About your tuna casserole that you cooked for dinner and forgot about in the oven, for two hours.

She is that good.

It is her gift.

(By the way, she also teaches you how to bring out the creative writer in your child. And maybe even you!)

You must check her out if you haven't already.

Today's Facebook Live video was especially encouraging. Go ahead, click on it.

You know you want to.
