H: Health- Stopped allowing my weight to determine the value of what I looked like. Instead I do things that FEEL good to my body. Move, Workout, Eat (take time after meals to see how my body reacts- tired, sluggish, heart burn), Simple skincare (wash my face in the shower, use moisturizer, lip care). DOESN'T have to be daily. Instead Set up a Routine.
O: Outside- Outdoors grounds me, fresh air, being in my garden. What can you do to give yourself a BREAK?
W: Worship- Open my bible app, turn on worship music: Set the TONE for your day & Use it to Rest, Come back from a Distruption

Our Homeschool this year started with our Hearts. Since the devastating wildfire in Lahaina left many without anything, we wanted to give back in whatever little ways we could.
In this episode you'll Learn how many Lessons a Homeschool Yard Sale can give your Keiki! Then turn it into a Fundraiser to give it more Purpose and Heart.
Hopefully it'll inspire more generosity not only in your homeschool, but in your home too.
