Just tweeted a link to this a little while ago. But I thought this was one of the most salient parts:
A friend of mine, a homeschool mom, just passed away of cancer. In the week before she died, I asked her if she had any regrets in her life. She told me she wished she had baked less bread – she said if she had it to do over again she would buy bread and spend more time with her children. She had invested time and energy in pursuing the “path” because she thought it was part of the spiritual homeschool package.

wow. that is potent stuff.
Having just baked my first bread this week, I don’t think I’m going to give up yet. But this definitely gives me something to think about. The principle is much broader than bread.
