Wendy Lukonen is a mom of 3 adult children in Michigan.  They homeschooled while running a business and the kids schooled right along side of that.  She and I were quite parallel in our thought processes and journey.  You'll love listening to her view on the truth that you're going to be afraid anyway, so you might as well just do it!

It's easy to look back and see how faithful God has been and just say to you, the homeschool mom, "Don't worry, be happy!" But the truth is that when you're in the thick of it, you may truly need someone to come along side of you and remind you that God really does have you on this journey, and it can be one big adventure if you choose it to be.
