Why wait?
Why wait? If there's something my girl has taught me well, it is to do it now. What if there is no later? What if tomorrow's circumstances stand in your way? With a body that has been unpredictable, my girl has shown me that acting on an inspiration today, right now,...
One Step Closer
Have you ever noticed how good we are as humans at stopping ourselves from having the very things we desire? Today I'm seeing that in myself, a message that's coming through loud and clear. It's so much easier to do things the same old way, just living life with our...
Butterflies
Butterflies. She wanted to see the butterflies. And since my girl doesn't ask for much, off to see the butterflies we went, to visit the grand exhibit at the Safari Park nearby. Once a year, thousands of butterflies are raised in a beautiful, flower filled enclosure....
Equinox
Today is the first day of spring, the equinox, complete with a full solar eclipse and solar flares. It's the time to dream big. The weeks preceding have been shaking things up, helping us to see our incompatibility with our dreams and desires. Take some time to really...

Today I feel connected to Source in ways more powerful than ever before. I feel it in the love of a friend, a giggle from my girl, the warm sun against the bright blue sky. Why does the sun shine brighter today? The answer is this: I am taking care of myself first....
Stirring
Something is stirring in my girl. Yesterday she was very excited to tell me that she had a test coming up on money and that she would need real coins from her piggy bank to practice with. They were just sitting there, right? This morning, there it was again, that...
Holiday Sanity
Holiday guidelines from a special needs girl to her mom: Slow down ~ do less ~ be present. My girl has a way of distilling it all down. Too much shopping makes her body hurt, and when her legs are in pain, she stops, just flat out shuts down. She simply can't go...
