The Great Pause™
There comes a moment when effort no longer produces clarity.
You have not been careless or irresponsible. You have read, planned, prayed, adjusted, and persevered. And yet, instead of peace, you feel increasingly uncertain—about your children, about yourself, and about whether you are quietly failing a vocation you long to fulfill faithfully.
This confusion is not a moral failure.
Very often, it is simply the result of too much noise.
If you’d like a place to rest for a while, The Great Pause™ is available here.
A forty-day Christian sabbatical for the weary homeschool mother
You are not stepping away from your calling
Pausing does not mean abandoning your children or neglecting their education. It does not mean giving up or falling behind. Most mothers who arrive here are deeply committed—they are simply tired of carrying the weight of every decision alone.
Stillness, for a time, is not a failure of faithfulness. Very often, it is how clarity is restored.
Why this matters
When noise quiets, attention returns. When urgency loosens, wisdom has room to speak. Education—like formation itself—cannot be rushed without cost.
This is why we begin where we do.
The Great Pause™
A free, forty-day Christian sabbatical for the weary homeschool mother.
This is not a program to complete or a plan to follow. It is a bounded season of rest—designed to help you step away from urgency, quiet the noise around your decisions, and regain clarity without pressure.
Each day offers a small return to stillness through brief readings and gentle reflection. There is nothing to keep up with and nothing to prove. Ordinary life continues. Learning may continue quietly. Heavy decisions can wait.
You may move slowly, pause when needed, or step away at any time. This is not a commitment. It is a place to rest.
If you’d like, you may receive The Great Pause™ by email.
