School for my daughter - recreating it the way I want it. Let's see where I can get on this topic...

I love Democratic Education and I am so thrilled that she has this opportunity and fully appreciates it. I have found myself beating the drum of what I don't like there, though. I KNOW WHAT I DON'T WANT - so what do I want?

Safe facilities that are easy to get to; teachers who live "inspired learning"; opportunities to follow up on inspiration, learning and discovery; complete ease for me; more parents - and even teachers - who have an understanding of LOA; teachers who are interested in promoting discovery rather than promoting their own agenda...

I have really found myself in a quandry at times because I so fully support that type of free education, but in disagreement with the way it is implemented, and feeling loss of my own freedom while offering more to my daughter... Hmmm...

I love the location - in the city, by the U, with lots of big trees and park-like settings mixed in... I love that she is free to be out and about on her own there - it is really expanding her life... I love that they are so completely free, without someone telling her what she "has to do"... I love the family like atmosphere and mixing of the ages... I love her newfound confidence and creativity...

I love so much there, but then I jump into the quagmire of what I don't like...I am getting a little hung up on my desires, my daughter's desires - and how to make it work out for both of us. The how is not my problem is it? But, I am sure holding on to it tightly!

Pulling her out would not feel good because she loves it so much... but keeping her there makes it so easy for me to focus on the unwanted and :drum: :drum:

Any tips or inspired words to bring me some ease around this topic?

OH - WAIT!!! I wonder if this is a manifestation of some remaining unease around my radically different way of BEING in this world? I feel different and out of place around the more "normal" people in my life - so I manifest this group of people who are even freakier than me, while still having some basic similarities... OMG - I have allowed myself to feel superior to them - that's not a good feeling...

ACK... my brain keeps going with this one... any input would be appreciated!

Love and joy, y'all - Steph :love:

But, I love the idea of BOPAing ME~!! That really might help me drop the oars!!! :meditate: I might be able to find a couple of BOPA points :love:

Pardon my ass while I pivot... (I LOVE that, DownstreamDiva - It cracks me up!!!)

Thanks, again, Nancy!!!! :hug:

Love and joy, Steph

:dance: I'm so excited!! I woke up this morning and began thinking about this again - rampaging for me and the school and then I realized I need to be rampaging my daughter's teacher. SHE is the one I have all the contrary thoughts and emotions around - she is the reason I think about finding another school for my daughter.

I thought she would be very cool, I was impressed with her uniqueness... but then she became the focus of my dissatisfaction - OK, this is where my "work" lies - to BOPA Starri.

Oh boy, this could be challenging - but, I know that if I can align my thoughts and energy concerning her I can actually enjoy this coming school year.

I will try to be back later with a rampage or BOPA for Starri....
