Since 1996, when my oldest son initially lost his ability to speak, I became a case manager of sorts: monitoring, linking, and ensuring that Aaron has what he needs to be happy and productive. When I became pregnant for the second time, I prayed for a “normal” child, one that would not experience so many…

KP’s Wellness Journey Continues
Last week, I was wearing a hoodie, gloves and sweatpants. This week, I have to pull my summer walking gear back out! This weather is inconsistent, but I have to stay consistent with this regimen. I am so proud to say I didn’t gain any weight this weekend! Weekends are my Kryptonite. I am the…
Monday Affirmation With KP
Our society celebrates “hustle”, “ambition”, “drive”, etc. Shoot, I was raised on hustle and appreciate it myself! However,we have fallen out of balance. Now, we feel “less than” if we’re not constantly doing something. This week’s affirmation invites us to just “BE.” It’s ok to, as our grandmas used to say, “sat down” and rest.…
Ham Steaks and Independence- Life Inside A Spectrum Family
I walked by my kitchen sink Thursday morning and spotted the usual item lying within it: a frozen ham steak. I smiled and kept walking. A little later I went back and snapped a pic. While many may look at this piece of meat and see just that, a piece of delicious pork, I see…

Happy Anniversary to Me!
Last October, I slowed down, revamped my wellness plan, ONCE AGAIN, and took off on another leg of my journey. The first 20 lbs melted off of me like butter. The next 20 lbs hung around like a migraine, but eventually went away. This last 20 lbs????? It’s like a tick on a dog! I…
Lesson of the Day from KP’s Garden
I lost more tomatoes than I harvested this morning. I saw them hanging on the vine but figured I had more time. Lesson learned: Tend to my crops better. Don’t put off a harvest because of an “I’ll do it later attitude.” If I do, I may lose more than I gain… Life works the…
