As I swung by Facebook earlier today to see what had happened there over the weekend, I was greeted with all the posts about the latest Forum updates. The more I thought about it, the more I appreciated the tremendous privilege we have to offer you places to hang out; digital spaces to encourage, challenge, and support one another; answer questions and give ideas; take feedback, and share news and updates.
On top of that, you may have friends and family who encourage you in your homeschooling.
In this season of thanking God for His blessings, I'm taking this moment to think of all the people--both local and electronic--who support me in my journey. May I encourage you to do the same!
And I'd be remiss to not include:
Thank you for being a part of the Sonlight community!

Desilou, so glad to hear that the Sonlight community has been encouraging to you. I know I struggle to know how best to help someone through a difficult situation.

Lately catching up on my Facebook feed has gotten me down - where's the encouragement from friends when someone posts about a hard time they are having? Why are we spending post after post whining about trivial things when our friends are posting about the heartbreaking news they just got? The contrast between general social media and the encouraging Sonlight community has been night & day for me - especially lately. To all those people who answer with kindhearted responses to your friends no matter what media you are using, THANK YOU. You are encouraging more than just the person you are responding to, you are brightening up the whole community
