I've been so busy beyond the blogosphere that I didn't see this announcement until today....sigh.  Spunky of SpunkyHomeschool is ending her blog.  Many will grieve the loss of her daily encouragement and fight for the homeschooling community.  I've learned so much from Spunky and greatly respect her.  Homeschoolers everywhere have looked to her for advice and straight-talk.  She's been (and will likely continue to be) a strong, articulate voice for us.  While it's a hard pill to swallow, I do respect her decision to close the book on her blog.  I've been in this position myself a few times and it's always bitter/sweet.  Maybe we could see this as the proverbial “passing of the baton“ in the blogosphere.  Maybe the other home educators out there will step up to the challenge and take on the cause on their blog.

I wish her all the very best as she follows the Lord's calling on her life.
