No foolin,' today's the first day of April and the weather here and for almost all of March has been more like summer than spring. And then, there was winter, which failed to deliver much of a chill, giving us instead sprinter. Nontheless, I'm breaking here on The Journey with Grace for Spring. Actually, the blog will run it's summer abbreviated schedule Tuesday and Thursday. By the time this blog post publishes, one GraceArt exhibit will have been hung and another will be hung tommorrow.
April is Autism Awareness Month so Wednesday after break will continue the weekly Autism/DisAbility on Wednesdays. As of plans now, Fridays, during April, will focus on "Artism" in honor of AAM. It's also Earth month. Look for a special Mondays feature remembering Mother Nature. Plans now are to share sharing a film series with you that I recently watched yet again and about which I've been passionate for nearly 30 years.
For May, The Journey with Grace will feature a theme on Mondays and Wednesdays--as planned now--of Motherhood. And June? Well, it's my birthday month. And while I think about age every month, I'll be talking about it on the blog. Mostly positive talk about celebration and women's esteem. I will not embrace negative stereotypes of aging! And, I hope that you won't either!
If you celebrate it--Happy Easter! And if you're breaking also--have a good one. Life is Good!

. I simply KNEW that he was not being given the atonitetn and love that he needed for him to develop and come out of his shell. It wasn't that I didn't have that deep fear that perhaps he may never improve, however I simply would not accept that. A mother's unconditional love has more power than anyone can possibly explain. Since I adopted Max, his light has exploded into an overpowering shine that surrounds him. Over the past few years he has started to talk, has learned to write, can dress himself & is completely potty trained, can feed and clean up after himself, can express his wants & needs, and has proven that he is a very smart little kid who is simply slower at learning than his typical peers. All Max needed was the love of a family and unconditional support and someone who believed in him.My favorite autism motto is Just because you can't talk doesn't mean you have nothing to say . Adopting my son has been one of the best decisions that I have ever made. He is a constant reminder to me of the joy, humor, challenges, and miracles of life. My role is to make sure that he always feels safe, happy, loved, and supported so that he can grow up to be the best Max that he can be. If I accomplish nothing else, I will still know that by providing Max with those things that my life had meaning.
