ShareApparently, I’m getting old. Kevin and I spent so much time at dinner the other night, that we missed the movie we were planning to see. We had a babysitter until 10:30pm, so we were not about to go home…but what on earth were we going to do?! Go have a drink? No, thank you, [...]

ShareThat’s what I thought when it was official that we would be attending a Son-Rise Intensive Program with Ross. “The beginning of the end.” What I mean by that, in case you’re wondering, is the beginning of the end of our Son-Rise Program. The beginning of the end of our journey with Autism. The Intensive [...]

ShareThose of you who know me well, know that Working Girl is my all time, favorite movie. It hit theaters in 1988 and stars Melanie Griffith, Harrison Ford, and Sigourney Weaver.  And one my favorite comedic actresses, Joan Cusak, plays the “best friend.” I have watched this movie countless times and although it definitely shows [...]

ShareI happened to catch a portion of the Today Show the other day and the expert they were interviewing said the darndest thing! She said, “Love is a behavior, not a feeling.” This is what I’d like to blog about today. Loving. I think that Ross came into my life to teach me exactly what [...]

ShareI wrote this in my Facebook Notes, but I thought I would include it in my blog as well… Dear Bears, I could write a book about all of the things I chose to finally HEAR this last week at Maximum Impact, but I’ve specifically chosen a story about what happened afterward to share with [...]

ShareIt was an assault on my senses. When the young, handsome man walked out of the gas station — yelling at me — my heart started beating so fast that I swore it would explode. My blood pressure instantly went through the roof. “You crazy stupid b#!%$tch! You have plenty of room! Your car can [...]

ShareAs many of you know, I have recently taken up running. Accomplishing this has been the hardest thing, physically, I’ve ever done. The other day I was on the treadmill and I needed to run to one more song to make the 30 minute mark. I remember thinking, “This better be a great song so that [...]

Share Kevin and I recently returned from our advanced training at The Autism Treatment Center of America back in Massachusetts. Due to our tireless fundraising we were able to GO TOGETHER which was AWESOME! Thank you again to all of you who contributed to our cause. We learned SOOOOO much. Or maybe I should say [...]

ShareBarry Neil Kaufman wrote this little book called Happiness is a Choice. It’s little in size, but what is written inside is HUGE. I mean HUGE. He writes about six shortcuts to happiness. The one I want to write about today is “being grateful.” Back in June, I went to a wonderful fund raiser at [...]

ShareIF ONLY I WOULD HAVE KNOWN SOONER. This is the new autism parent’s mantra. And I’m here to say, it’s a huge waste of time. Even if I were the Time Traveler’s wife (which is unfortunate, ‘cuz that Eric Bana is HOT!) there is no guarantee that knowing earlier would have made any difference. I [...]
