Some thoughts aren’t meant to be polished before they’re shared. Some moments don’t need a lesson tied to them. Some feelings just need a place to breathe. This is that place for me.
This corner of the blog — From the Heart — is where I’ll be writing freely, sharing whatever’s stirring deepest in my spirit: the joys that bubble up unexpectedly, the ache that lingers quietly, the little revelations I only realize after the kids are asleep and the house is still.
I don’t know what will always come out here. Sometimes it might be a few words. Other times, a flood. But I promise it will be real.
Maybe you’ve had a moment lately where your heart felt like it might just burst — with love, with worry, with gratitude, with exhaustion. You’re not alone. I hope you’ll come here and find yourself in the words, or at least feel a bit less alone in whatever you’re carrying.
Here’s to opening our hearts together.
With love and light,
Lindsey

Hi, I’m Lindsey—wife, homeschooling mom, animal lover, and cappuccino enthusiast with a heart full of stories and a deep love for teaching and learning.

I started Raising Light to share our journey of parenting with purpose.
As a former teacher, wildlife rehabilitator, Realtor, and dog trainer turned full-time mom, I’ve walked an unexpected and beautiful path that led me to home education and a deeper faith.

My daughter, Lucy, is the light of my life—and the inspiration behind this blog.
Her name literally means “light,” and I believe that every child carries their own unique glow. I don’t believe she’s “gifted”—I believe she’s growing and glowing because she’s loved, encouraged, and supported.
And I believe your child can thrive in the same way.

I know what it’s like to struggle with learning.
I grew up with dyslexia, diagnosed in second grade, and for years I felt like I just couldn’t measure up.
But through grit, grace, and one remarkable professor who finally saw me—I not only overcame it, but became a passionate educator.
Now I use that experience to help guide my daughter, and hopefully, other parents too.
⸻
This space is where I share our learning journey, parenting reflections, spiritual walk, and the tools and truths that have made all the difference.
My prayer is that Raising Light will encourage you, equip you, and remind you that you’re not alone.

We’re not here to be perfect.
We’re here to grow—and let our light shine.

Welcome to our story. I’m so glad you’re here.
With love,
Lindsey
