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…

Autism, ADHD, and Us
The other day, my youngest son, Bryant, and I were talking. Out of the blue, he asked me, “Ma, did you ever think you would ever have 2 neurodiverse kids?” Neurodiverse is defined as a “ variation in the human brain regarding sociability, learning, attention, and other mental functions.” My oldest son, Aaron, has Aspergers,…
