Hi Ren and...Okay, another sister must jump in here! Hi Ren and hi to your sis Heidi too.I've enjoyed and related to your blog as well, Ren. Dora called me with excitement after reading about the hot cocoa at convention...Amazing to know you used to be "professing"! Reading about "Tell me the story of Jesus", hymn #1...So familiar. Would be fascinating to exchange stories. I just read another (more recent) blog of yours about choosing to live your life without a predeterminded map...so very different from being in the cult. <br />We are both on RU network too, and also have 4 children each. Our other sis has 3. My email is wendall2@telus.net if either of you are interested in writing more about this!Falinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34836258.post-88647534150906447502009-09-20T13:12:08.022-04:002009-09-20T13:12:08.022-04:00Fascinating, Ren.

I have two sisters who have also quit. What a relief to have us all out although the relatives sure don't think so. Both sisters are avid unschoolers. We live in Ashcroft BC Canada. The town we grew up in. When did you quit? What was your motivation? Did your husband profess? I have a million questions. But that is all for here and now! And of course only if you want to answer them!Dora Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778898371669000967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34836258.post-26228584449398091562009-09-09T14:20:21.877-04:002009-09-09T14:20:21.877-04:00Oh, and Heidi (posted here in comments as "sn...Oh, and Heidi (posted here in comments as "snavleys") is my sister so she can totally relate too!Ren Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12017460071971677808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34836258.post-4761579358381908322009-09-09T14:19:58.793-04:002009-09-09T14:19:58.793-04:00Wow Dora Lynn....this is truly amazing.

Don't even ask me how it jives with unschooling because it just can't in my world.;) <br /><br />Cool that you figured out the commonality. I bet we know some of the same people. Small world eh?

Imagine my surprise when you mentioned the hot cocoa from Wasilla Convention. I quit the same "cult" about six years ago. It is so neat to know of another unschooler who has had some of the same background. It would be neat to talk to you more about this.Dora Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778898371669000967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34836258.post-21732420032692084812009-07-20T00:35:58.856-04:002009-07-20T00:35:58.856-04:00Wow, that was incredibly beautiful!!

Can I just steal it because "Where I'm From" is the same right? It might take me a couple of weeks, compared to your probably 5 min. but I will come up with one of my own:)Heidi Snavleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954842963823414136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34836258.post-50050178568072947692009-07-20T00:25:30.814-04:002009-07-20T00:25:30.814-04:00I've love where you're from. :o)I've love where you're from. :o)Zenmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06733997460907718304noreply@blogger.com
