Your Body, Not Your Fault

May 16, 2018 by Kathy McClelland

Every Tuesday night (except for when I have a good excuse not to) I drag myself over to the YMCA for cycle class. It's not an ideal time, but it's a rare hour after dinner, and after one kid is in bed, that I can squeeze in a workout thanks to my supportive husband. Not only is it not an ideal time, but I don't exactly love the instructor’s style. The music isn't that great and he yells a LOT … [Read more...]

It starts really on Sunday evenings. Do you ever feel that … [Read more...]

What I Learned Through the Deep, Hard Struggles

January 8, 2018 by autismblessings

Lamentations 3:21-23 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.   I love to start things. I love the challenge. I love to look at things when they are fresh and new and I also like to create things out of nothing. How about … [Read more...]

My Child Is a Person, Not Just An Inspiration

October 4, 2017 by Ellen Stumbo

I will be the first one to tell you that my children with disabilities have inspired me. My youngest daughter with Down syndrome has been my teacher of life in many ways. Every time my daughter with cerebral palsy falls down and gets back up it makes me think about the times I give up so easily in life. But my typical daughter has done that for me too, she has inspired me, she has pushed me to be … [Read more...]

The Email I Would Have Written Myself the Day Before Ben Was Born

November 19, 2016 by Mike George Leave a Comment

Somewhere over the last 24 years, I lost the yearning to dream about what life would be like had Ben been born without complex physical and communication challenges. There was a period when I constantly wanted to press the rewind button to return to a simpler time, to before Ben was part of our world, so I could understand what I’d done so terribly wrong to deserve the burden of raising a child … [Read more...]
