It’s gonna be that kind of week…
You know you had a good weekend when you find yourself at the end of Sunday and you want to scream, noooooooo!

Growth Happens
I am sorry I have been MIA here. We have been busy with so many things, and wearing so many different hats. But hey check this out, we are seeing much fruit for our hard work. Literally.

Que Tragedia!
Spanish for: Such Drama! There was a day in the kingdom of the Little Prince that was a bit off. Just a bit. Ok, a little more than the usual.

That one is easy to visualize, it is a cycle and we experience it every year. Funny how being raised on a tropical island I didContinue reading “Crossroads of Bitter Sweetness”
Exhaust Yourself
It’s Worth It When something involves a lot of work to the point of exhaustion, long hours of preparation, stretching of the mind to what else and how else you can go about making someone’s day special, the best reward is seeing the face full of expectation and the smiles and exhilaration. I spent hoursContinue reading “Exhaust Yourself”
Waiting Room Creatures
In an interesting point in time, when the patience of the whole world is being tested, with a pandemic, quarantine, wear this and do that guidelines, I happened to bump into this journal entry from 2013 and it made me smile. I stand corrected. I believe there is no better place on earth to testContinue reading “Waiting Room Creatures”
NEXT!
Often, I ask myself the question, can it get more challenging than this? And then life has a way of answering with a resounding yes! Seriously, I need to stop asking. As many of you out there know, life with special needs is challenging for both the person with special needs and those of usContinue reading “NEXT!”
