Share Your Year with...

Post by my3sons » Wed May 30, 2012 1:58 pm

...other moms just like us! One great way to celebrate finishing your HOD year is to share your positive experiences with other homeschool moms. :D Tons of moms each year are trying to make the decision about whether to homeschool or not - just like we all did at some point in our lives. Hearing about your good year with HOD is just the thing that may help them see that they can do it too! :D

There are two easy ways to share...
1) You can post your testimony right here! Just click on "board index" or "current discussions", and you'll see all of the folders with names of the guides. Ladies are reading these all of the time - it is a super way to inspire others to get to enjoying HOD!
2) Then, you can copy your testimony and paste it on the Homeschool Reviews website. Just type "Homeschool Reviews" in your search engine and then enter "Heart of Dakota" in the search bar on the website. It will take you to reviews of Heart of Dakota. Many, many moms read the reviews on that website, and it would sure be helpful if you shared your love for HOD through a review there!

If you only have 5 minutes, a 5 minute testimony is still better than none at all. :D If you have longer, great! :D That testimony would be super too! Just think, your encouragement for others to use HOD could be the very thing that inspires other moms just like us to choose to homeschool their dc, to keep homeschooling their dc, or to find more joy and keep Christ at the center of their homeschooling. Your words truly could impact so many others' lives for the good! Why not help someone else out today?!? :D If you shared, you can just type "I shared HOD with others today!" or something like that in this thread - that would be kind of fun to see how many testimonies there could be to help keep getting the word out about HOD!

In Christ,

Thank you, thank you, thank you! :D :D :D I'll let Mike and Carrie know there are some new testimonies to read and be encouraged by. Thank you for taking the time to do this - it is greatly appreciated! :D Hopefully others will begin to add theirs as well as time allows. :D

Julie,

I am sooooo blessed by HOD. I was glad to go over to homeschoolreview and let other moms know how easy it is to homeschool with your guides.

Thank you so much ladies - it really does mean so much to us that you have taken time to do this! :D Getting the word out about HOD is such an important way to share it with others. I know time is at a premium for you as homeschool moms, and the fact that you have taken time to do this really is a blessing to Mike and Carrie and me! :D

In Christ,

That is great, mom23! You are living proof that our testimonies about HOD help reach out to moms everywhere, and help families see how HOD can make homeschooling a joy for them as well! Thanks so very much! :D
