Welcome. This blog fosters slowing down, being more reflective, and learning about family life, schooling, health, and community. I embrace ambiguity, I’m skeptical of a lot of conventional wisdom, and often get things wrong.
I tend to post twice weekly.
The readership is a hodgepodge of educators, fitness enthusiasts, and ordinary people slowing down, being more reflective, and thinking together about what makes life most meaningful.
The five most popular posts as of December 31, 2015 provide a little flavor flav of what’s to come.
1) The Problem with the Simple Living Movement
4) When Parents are Too Child-Centered
Pressing Pause 
Hello Ron, I am ill off work at the moment and it’s given me moment to look at other education blogs on WordPress. Having looked at about thirty I’ve found one that I can relate to: yours! I hope you will have a look at my blog to. All the best. PS Jenny Collins is a pseudonym. I am male not female!
Thanks “Jenny”, but I’m curious, why the pseudonym?
Yup, Ron, first time *here*. I was lead to your blog by a Tweet via @happier. I was invited to join and explore https://www.happier.com/home by a friend, whose invite I opened this morning. Because the Tweet had the link to your “Happy” post, I’d have to say I’m “genetically inclined/programmed/geared” to be happy. Thank goodness. I laugh as often as I can, love sharing the laughter and, even though living sometimes gives gut punches and Spirit slams, I staunchly refer myself as a realistic optimist, I will always see the glass half full.
I look forward to learning more about you, your writings and all, Ron. Enjoy this day you make/are given.
Cheers!

Nice to “meet” you Jessan. Likewise, I look forward to your writings.
