It Takes A Village...

Picture
It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child, and that may be true, but in this case it took a village to make this website a reality.  I have been known to say, "I know what I have."  That is true for my children and for myself.  I know where my strengths are and I know where they are not, and I can tell you, they are not in creating a website. 

As I look back, there have been countless people who have come into my life at the right moment.  Those people who show me, in a nanosecond, that I have shifted off my path, and support me in getting back on.  Creating this website was not one of those moments.  Instead, more than one amazing person came into my life, along the way, to share ideas, encouragement, support, knowledge, and resources, but in the end, they let me be, and let me know it was mine to do. 

It has taken a lot of time, reflection, and learning new skills, but I have done it, and now that I have I am excited to see where this may travel to.

In the meantime, I share this photo with you all.  This is symbolic of the village I want to live in, someday.  It is full of people who care about each other, see through all of the unimportant dust that covers what really matters, is safe, where doors are always open to share whatever is needed for that special "in-the-moment" moment, or for the the one that will evolve in the future through a bumpy ride.

I will never forget when in 2nd grade my daughter came home excited to tell me that there was a new friend in her classroom and that his mom had stopped by to explain what Down Syndrome is and to help the student understand why he may react differently at different circumstances. Shortly after that we discover the Enriquez family were also our neighbors and 4 years later they are among the closest friends we have. Sevi’s wit, humor and resilience are a few of the things we love about him and we feel pretty lucky to be a witness to the amazing path that his parents have forged for him.
We are so proud of you Sevi and so lucky to be a part of your life. Love you buddy! 💙💛
