They were so kind and generous to invite us into their home. We stayed with our good friends, Lisa and Nathan in Mexico. Freedom fighters are so open and excited about Unschooling and so hungry to learn how to live in peace with their children. The people at Anarchapulco were some of the most intelligent and passionate people that I've ever met. The kids had an amazing time Unschooling in Mexico! They learned so much and connected with many amazing people.

I spoke about Compassion for children and animals and also did a one day workshop on Peaceful Parenting. Our family has recently returned from an amazing trip to Mexico, where I spoke at Anarchapulco. Then used colorful buttons as the flowers and hot glued them on. I painted the baseboard in the kitchen green to look like grass then painted stems and leaves of flowers. I made this crazy dream-catcher with leftover ribbon I couldn't have done it without Devin's help! I love it so much! It is a special little nook where I can read my cookbooks and have my own quiet space, but still be connected with everyone if they are in the living room.

It took me all day to complete this project. I also took off the door from the kitchen to the living room and replaced it with this door that has a window so when you are at the desk you can see into the other room. This used to be where we'd hang our coats. I built this Murphy Desk in our kitchen out of a pallet today. I am so grateful to my family and friends who always continue to support me in my evolution. You may begin to heal from aspects of your past that you didn't know needed healing and releasing. It has been incredibly powerful! I invite you to explore this side of yourself if it appeals to you. I discovered a new love for 'Repurposing' and have been enjoying the evolution of my consciousness and creativity over this last year. To be honest, I never knew I had one! I began becoming brave and trying new things, like painting and crafting more difficult projects than what I have done with the kids over the years. Over the last year, I've really delved into my creative, artsy side.
