Fear is not Mandated

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/09/15

I have ultimately kept my mouth shut because I was afraid of saying the wrong thing. I was afraid of not speaking in love and letting my emotions get the best of me. I didn’t want to be the talking point of someone else’s passive aggressive post. So instead of saying the WRONG thing, I chose to not say anything at all! FEAR IS NOT A COMMAND. Nor is it mandated! In fact, I am 100% positive that the phrase is: FEAR NOT. Yep, that’s the one. Now, does that mean I just let my mouth run willy-nilly and

5 Healthy Habits You Can't Mess Up

2021/09/01

I don’t know about you, but there have been times in my life when I’ve been doing SO great with my health that I almost feel like a peacock walking around, showing off those beautiful feathers. Okay, I’ve never had some Victoria Secret body – nor do I want one, by the way – but I’ve had seasons of life when I felt SO great, so pumped, so full of feeling GOOD that when I have had the stumbling blocks…you know, “life happened,”…I struggled to keep my hands out in front of me and not fall. Does that

What Have We Become?

2021/08/25

I know we’ve talked several times about current events. We’ve talked about the confusion. We’ve talked about finding little bursts of joy. Today, I’m going to be super open and real with how I’m feeling. I want to preface this by saying these are MY thoughts based on what I’ve been through. Each of us have experienced life a bit differently and that has formed our views on countless topics. But frankly, I’m tired of being silent about today’s topic. I was teetering on whether to make a social media

Lisa is all about encouraging people to find joy despite our own - and life's - imperfections. While not everyone shares her exact struggles with OCD and anxiety, we all have something that we don't like about ourselves. Lisa has created a model to help people determine which of our shortcomings need to be changed in order to be as happy as we know we can be

It's the start to SEASON THREE!! Woohoo! Fun things are ahead this season so get comfy and let's grow together, okay?I wanted to talk about something today that I think everyone can relate to. Where is God in the confusion?I don’t know about you, but with current events happening, I have found myself more anxious than not. Frankly, I know WHY and that’s because I’ve gotten in the awful habit of getting sucked into the posts on social media. You know the kind…Covid posts.Delta Variant.New Variants.To

Misconceptions of Homeschooling - Part 1

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/07/28

Find Imperfectly Pollyanna on:FacebookInstagramOr send me an email at courtney@imperfectlypollyanna.comToday I want to talk about some common myths and misconceptions around homeschooling. However, I wanted to address something first. I just saw an article last week about how the American Academy of Pediatrics is recommending that schools require all students and staff members to wear masks when they return to in-person learning this fall. The reasoning was because many students are not eligible to

What Are You Being a Witness Of?

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/07/21

Friends, I have something that may shock you……the world will and does hate us because of Him. That is something that will not change. If anything, it will get worse. We are not called to Him in order to have an easier life. We are not called to follow Him in order to be blessed beyond measure. A life following Jesus does not guarantee anything other than eternity with Him in Heaven. Until then, we have the opportunity, and responsibility, to walk a path that is full of blessings AND heartache.What

Homeschooling and the Beverly Hillbillies

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/07/14

This past week, I was having a chat with my son about where he was academically. He quietly asked if there were things he hadn’t learned yet that he should. My heart sank as I wondered if HE felt he was behind. Have you ever had that moment when your head said a quick, but needed, prayer for the right words? That moment held me in a place where that doubt creeped in. The inner voice of “see, you’ve failed him.” It lasted a split second until I told it to shut up and began having a conversation with

The Birds of 1995

2021/07/07

Back in September, I was removed from Facebook without warning. Mind you, I am NOT a controversial person on social media. I enjoy posting about my kids, homeschooling, faith, and just encouraging people. Obviously, someone reported me somewhere or I talked about something that offended the powers that be. There’s this line from season 1 of The Chosen that says “I was one way, and now I am completely different, and the thing that happened in between was Him.” I can’t really explain it, nor do I feel

Are You Brave Enough to Fight?

2021/06/30

When reading over social media posts, I’ve noted a common thing…parents being unhappy with the things their children are having to travel through…whether it be in the current school system or exposures to current events or hot topics. The fact is, our children are confused because the world is confused! They respond based on natural instinct as well as how we have taught them by example and what they are exposed to.We cannot send our children to Caesar and be surprised when they return as romans!

Joy in Learning?

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/06/02

I've been thinking about learning as a child vs learning as an adult. Are the things I'm hearing and learning about now things I actually learned as a kid and forgotten OR did I never learn them? I was guilty of memorizing things to pass a test or a class. Now I'm walking with my children and questioning things I was taught, never heard of, and relearning all at the same time! The question is...are you living in a state of "this is how I'm destined to live" or "this is my life now because I've

Have you ever experienced anxiety or other mental health concerns and felt ashamed, guilty, or as if it was destined to control your life? Perhaps you've struggled with the idea of talking about those "weaknessess" in the fear others would judge you? Have you wondered if God could ever use someone like you?

Not a Pinterest Mom

2021/05/19

I will NEVER be the Pinterest mom. I just won’t. I can save all the things to all the boards. I can listen to podcasts. I can make lists. I can talk with friends about all the ideas we have. But when it comes down to it, that just isn’t me!Does this mean it’s ok to not try and be better every day? NO. We should not compare ourselves but we should also always strive to live the life we have been called to live. It doesn’t mean our life will look like the girl next door. Or the family on Instagram

By Who's Standards

Today I am interviewing my good friend, Lyndz Marie, as she shares her journey to the decision of homeschooling. It didn't come without second-guessing, bumps, fighting against her own expections as well as undoing damage to her son that was caused by the school system. This episode will challenge how you approach raising your family, following convictions, and rising above the standard that is set by either you or the world. Warning, you will likely have your toes stepped on a bit but we address
