New at Enjoy Life Unschooling:

Our first Breaking Pavement column, by Idzie, a grown unschooler.
http://enjoylifeunschooling.com/2010/06/bare-feet-and-learning-connections/

An excerpt
...And I started thinking about *why* I like going barefoot. What about this
no shoes thing makes me so happy? I realized that what it really is, the
connection. With shoes, I�m putting yet one more barrier between me and the
world around me. Without them, I feel more connected to the
dirt-grass-gravel-pavement-mud.

Connection is so important.

Connection�to people and place (or, should I say, connection to all Peoples,
not just the human kind. Yes, I am a hippie.)�is what makes life good.
Connections are also what fuel learning. I might go so far as to say
*all*learning is the making of connections! ...

- How do you and your spouse get �quality time� together?
- How do you get your personal needs met when kids are �up all night�?

A wonderful new column by Heather Burditt of Swiss Army Wife blog.

<http://enjoylifeunschooling.com/2010/11/unschoolingad/>Heather is a gifted
writer. She writes eloquently about radical unschooling and loving life with
her children.

This month she touches on the issue of unexpected tragedy.

Unschooling after Death

I had a few articles started for this. With Halloween just leaving, I was
writing about unlimited candy! Then I had found some cool science
experiments you can do with candy, so I was going to mention those. Cool
stuff you can do with candy beside�s eat it? Awesome!

That will all have to wait though, because I�m feeling quite serious today.
I opened my facebook yesterday and learned that an Unschooling dad had
passed away. It would appear that he was posting about not feeling good and
having a fever for a few days, but I read this morning that he also may have
had a heart condition. He will truly be missed by many, reading the comments
on his wall I am blown away by the size of his family.
