Fuel for the Journey

September 13, 2017 by Kathleen Bolduc

Parenting may be one of the most rewarding jobs on earth, but it is also one of the most difficult. I am the mother of three sons. My youngest, Joel (32), has autism along with an anxiety disorder and severe kyphosis of the spine. Parenting a child with a disability is especially demanding, requiring surpluses of energy, patience and perseverance beyond, at times, what seems humanly possible. As … [Read more...]

Eyes Are the Windows of the Soul

August 16, 2017 by Kathleen Bolduc

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Eyes are the windows of the soul.” Jesus said it a little bit differently:  "The eye is the lamp of the body. You draw light into your body through your eyes, and light shines out to the world through your eyes. So if your eye is well and shows you what is true, then your whole body will be filled with light." Matthew 6:22 Both sayings makes me think of three … [Read more...]

Prayer Power

December 14, 2016 by Kathleen Bolduc 9 Comments

 Ask, and it will be given to you seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7 There are so many Scriptures on prayer power. The Scripture above just happens to be one of my favorites. I don’t know about you, but I pray and pray and pray for my son, Joel, who has autism. Many times I do not see specific answers to those prayers. And yet, the Scriptures … [Read more...]

Autism Awareness Through the Eyes of Jesus

April 27, 2016 by Kathleen Bolduc 11 Comments

Autism awareness through the eyes of Jesus? During Autism Awareness Month, I like to remind myself and those who know and love someone with autism to look at that child or adult through the eyes of Jesus. Changing one's gaze explodes preconceptions and shifts paradigms in a powerful way. The following was written when my son Joel was ten years old. He is now 31. This is a vision I go back to, time … [Read more...]

Family Life with Autism: Welcome to the Cincinnati Zoo

June 12, 2014 by Kathleen Bolduc 9 Comments

I’m jolted from sleep when the heat-seeking-body-missile of my 24-year-old son lands next to me on the bed.  I pry open sleep-encrusted eyes to encounter Joel’s face, two inches from my own. He grins, giving me an up-close view of his smile crinkles, just like his dad’s; little fans on either side of his baby blues. “Zoo today!” he crows. “Zoo, zoo, zoo, Cincinnati zoo, zoo, zoo!”  Like many … [Read more...]

  Gillian shares The Importance of Sunny Soccer Saturdays in a Special-Needs Life: "Polly, Evie, Elaina, Zoya, Sergei, and I deserve to live abundant lives. Down syndrome, autism, and stroke disorders don’t get to rob us of life and experience and soccer on a sunny Saturday. I want our lives to expand. My kids deserve it. I deserve it." From Peggy at Chosen Families, Mother's Day Is … [Read more...]
