Kelli is a 40 year old woman from Dallas, Texas, USA
I live south of Dallas in a small town with my husband and my fabulous 13 year old daughter. I am unschooling her so she learns that LEARNING can take place at any time, and in any place...not just in the confines of a classroom. I have many passions - from art to all genres of music, humor and photography. I love poetry -the world needs more romance - you won't find a cynic here. Also, I love to laugh. Laughing is essential. I have great distaste for labels. I'm not a liberal, nor a conservative. I never vote a straight party ticket and tend to question those who do. I'm not a vigilante nor an in your face type, but that doesn't mean I don't hold my views just as close to my heart as others do. Respect.
I am against hate & prejudice in all its forms & have a very WORLD view...I am a straight woman who is pro-gay rights, including marriage. I don't believe in empires, think the death penalty should go NOW & believe in the inherent GOOD of the individual. Some call me an idealist. I believe people will rise to the level of expectations that you set for them - let them be great expectations!

Best summary of what the real issues are. Pay attention and don't let the far-right continue to hijack the country. It's too critical. Stand with Wisconsin and fight! -
Im Sick of Being Taken for Granted | Parents Connect
Rated • 2 reviews • parenting • parentsconnect.com
What a bunch of WHINY self-centered mothers. I had a child because I felt I had love to give as a mother. Not because I wanted to give her a ton of rules and wanted to give her chores and restrictions and was going to bitch about *gasp* not having enough freaking ME TIME. I want to be with my child. And she's a teenager. I genuinely enjoy being with her and, yes, she enjoys being with me too. We have a good relationship. Sure, she wants time with friends and by herself too - it's normal. But I don't give her tons of rules and restrictions and some long list of arbitrary chores so our house can appear perfect. That way, when I ask her to do something, she happily does it because I haven't forced all this crap on her. Authoritarian parenting is so damaging to the relationship and I put THAT, the relationship between my daughter and me, FIRST above my alone time any day. And CERTAINLY above any stupid household chores. If you're so stressed over the garbage or the dishes, maybe relaxing on those expectations and just enjoying being with your kids is the answer, MOM... -
Multiple Intelligences
Rated • 1 review • unschooling, natural learning • sandradodd.com
Wonderful examination of the different styles of intelligences from the view of an unschooling parent and how these are affected by both unschooling and by the school system. So happy to have chosen to free my daughter from the school system so that she can embrace learning rather than one-way education. While I applaud the work of teachers, I feel that the educational system as designed is so flawed and does not encourage free thought and critical thinking. And it does indeed ignore many of these intelligences spoken of in the article. -
Why I Left Atheism
Rated • 67 reviews • doesgodexist.org
I expected more. He spoke of no understanding of any of the world's other religions, and it was very black and white approach as well. Either it's atheism or Christianity. And all but Christianity came off as wrong in this piece. So he exuded judgment of all others which is a huge stumbling block for me and for many others. This is why so many people turn away from the churches to begin with. Acceptance of all religions and paths is critical for me. -
