“Sydney doesn’t have that kind of autism like my nephew.” What kind of autism is this?” “Well, we’re originally from Detroit, Michigan and ain’t no party like a Detroit party because a Detroit party don’t stop.” Yes, someone actually made that comment to me and yes that’s how I responded because advocating and spreading awareness … More Look At This Autism
Each day we wake up we need to realize just how much power we have to dictate our day. We can carry the drama from the night before or we can start each day with a clean slate. To evolve means to develop gradually over time. We all evolve, but does that only occur when … More Evolve or Repeat
I know I’m not the only one that has a race to finish. It doesn’t matter what race you are running or walking. The only thing that matters is that you make it to the finish line. Will the race be easy? Will there be hurdles and injuries along the way? Will you stumble and … More The Race
