Just the name of my blog gives me away. Hi, There! I am Sarah Bliss, author of Holistic Homeschooler. I am happily married to the man of my dreams and together we raise two adorable children

We obviously homeschool and believe home education is more than academics.

I hold a personal philosophy that homeschooling is holistic and encompasses the whole child-body, mind, heart, spirit.

When I refer to the spirit, I mean the holy spirit. That ones own spirit needs daily nourishment from the word of God.

I homeschool mainly using a Charlotte Mason Philosophy of Education. I absolutely love nature which is why the nature study aspect of Charlotte’s philosophy really speaks to me. We spend hours outside, on nature walks or the occasional hike.

Additionally, I have a burning desire to take our homeschool Journey on the road and share our travel adventures with anyone who will read or listen. Yet, this is a plan in progress so for now we are casually road-schooling.

Finally-I am a Registered Nurse, with the heart to spread educational information on health, wellness, and physical fitness.

I hope to be a source of encouragement and inspiration as we travel along this homeschool journey together.

This past year my oldest took a class through our homeschool co-op that went through Newton’s Laws of Physics.

Today, both of my children got to experience a place in Michigan that claims to defy Newton’s first law of motion.

The Mystery Spot in St. Ignace Michigan.

The Story

“The early 1950’s, 3 surveyors named Clarence, Fred and McCray came from California to explore the Upper Peninsula. They stumbled across an area of land where their surveying equipment didn’t seem to work properly. For instance, no matter how many times they tried to level their tripod, through the use of a plum-bob or level, the plum-bob would always be drawn far to the east, even as the level was reading level. As they continued their research of this land, they noticed a constant feeling of being light-headed. Later, realizing their queasiness and problems with the surveying equipment only occurred in an area about 300 feet in diameter, they felt they had discovered a “Mystery Spot”!

It may be an area on earth that is just strange or perhaps it’s how the building is engineered.

Either way, it completely threw me off. In the first part of the clip, you can see water flowing uphill. In the next room, gravity pushes one down. The kids were able to experience the sensation by sitting in a chair and then trying to stand.

My son tries to stand straight, feels as though he is but when you watch-he surely isn’t.

I actually had to leave the attraction early. It was so disorientating that I walk/crawled out and nearly vomited.

I felt so cool. 😂

Anyway, a very interesting, off the beaten path attraction where you can observe and experience sensations that defy physics.
