    About this Episode

    The Edge of Everywhen is a fictional book by Author, Allison Mackey, that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is written for upper elementary/middle school ages; however, I found that I couldn't put the book down, and I am...well, let's just say that you should never ask a lady her age.

    I first interviewed Allison Mackey back in episode #30, How to Pursue Your Writing Passions. In that previous episode, we talked about how she became a writer and why. Also during that interview, she was in the process of writing The Edge of Everywhen and had actually just presented her book to her publisher that very morning.

    My favorite quote from that episode was, "We don't seek perfection in order to obtain the Father's blessing. We seek perfection because we already have the Father's blessing."

    During our current chat and also in her book, Allison refers to quite-a-few other books that are great reads for everyone. Here are just a few of the books she referred to that can help you start your very own amazing journey of fictional reading this summer.

    The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

    The Giver

    Narnia

    Old Possum's Books of Practical Cats

    Great Expectations

    Oliver Twist

    Learning to Set Boundaries

    Learning to Set Boundaries

    Today, I talk about boundaries and share more of my story.

    During the events that ultimately led to this podcast (which I’ve talked about in previous episodes), I learned a lot about boundaries. Before that time, I didn’t really know what boundaries were. I was never taught about boundaries in any aspect of my life, and it wasn’t until I was in my 40s and experiencing one of the darkest places in my life that I learned about boundaries.

    The Bad Stuff is Easier to Believe

    State Your Why

    State Your Why

    Today, I’m jumping right into our topic and talking about stating our why. Think about why it is that we want to do whatever it is that we want to do. Our why is not our reason, and we need to understand that stating our why is important to help keep us motivated. It leads us to our specific goals. It’s what gets us there. It's what gets us up in the morning and what keeps us awake at night. It doesn’t lay the process of getting there out for us, but it actually helps us vision the end result in the here and now.

    Ask A lot of Questions

    Ask A lot of Questions

    When we are contemplating something new, it is wise to find someone who is already doing it and ask them a lot of questions. Asking others who are already successful in doing what we want to do helps us gain knowledge. They can pass on wisdom and experiences that we may not have ever considered.

    Homeschooling: Relax. Take a Break. Breath!

    Homeschooling: Relax. Take a Break. Breath!

    There are times when we need to relax, take a breath, and breathe, and the start of a homeschooling journey is definitely one of those times. One of the many things that I have learned during my time homeschooling is that staying calm usually helps in every situation. The more calm we approach our homeschooling journey, the easier, more enjoyable, and more rewarding it is going to be for everyone.

    You Are Enough

    You Are Enough

    Today, I want to encourage you that you are enough. There's this idea going around that says that we are not enough, and I feel like I am here to tell you today that you are enough and that having self-worth is not wrong. In fact, it is how Jesus sees us.

    From the Vault - School is Not That Important

    From the Vault - School is Not That Important

    Today, I pull pull an ever-relevant episode from the vault. In this episode, my former co-host and I talk about why school is not THAT important. The pressures for good grades and high end of year test scores contribute to rising depression, cutting, and suicide rates among middle and high schoolers. This could be related to the feeling of not measuring up among peers or the pressures that parents, teachers, and professors put on their students. What matters is recognizing these stressors in your child’s life and helping them navigate through them or not allowing them in your child’s life at all. Your relationship with your child is more important than school or any test scores, and we share why we believe that.

    Legacy

    If I had to name someone who undeniably left a positive legacy on my life, my aunt and uncle would definitely be at the top of my list. The influence they left on my life was definitely unlike any other, and today, I want you to consider the legacy that you are going to be leaving for your children, your children’s children, and their children's children.
