Sandi, I would love to hear more about both how you knew to trust, and just
how incredible things turned out. Can you name those illusive qualities for
us? I know people are asking me about my teen and I honestly can't give
them a coherent answer at times. I have a very self-possesed, very
intelligent young adult. She puts me to shame on many days. I know that my
ability to trust her set the stage for developing herself, but it would be
great if we could define trust just a bit more.

And I would like to hear more about what you see presently within the
homeschooling community. Are we going forward? Where are our current
threats?

(As you might have guessed, I've saved some email to respond to. It's
spring cleaning time around here, and this mailbox was next on the list.
