I consider myself to be a wise woman, and unfortunately, that wisdom usually comes at a high price
**WARNING: Before you begin, this is a long post, filled with excitement, confusion, drama, frustration, tears, shock, determination, slander, racism, bullying, and ultimately — defeat
It all started with Xan…
One year ago, together, our family made the decision to remove Xan from traditional schooling. There are a myriad of reasons, but racism was at the heart
With the help of a local Headmaster, we enrolled Xan in a virtual academy [AMAZING experience, with learning geared towards his passions, vs a standard curriculum]
As you can imagine, leaving a fifteen year old boy at home [alone] to do school work, would not have been very productive. Sooooo…off to work with me we go!!
After a few months, it was clear that there were too many distractions for him in our “bullpen” office. Around the same time, BB & PaPa Mike moved to Arkansas, and that meant MawMaw would be in Natchez, without immediate family
Will and I began to brainstorm. How could we improve Xan’s school surroundings, and offer a Starkville home for MawMaw?
Enter, 400 Greensboro
There are a million reasons we loved the home…. Will’s Mom lived on Louisville…
