Summer of Covid
Starting July 1st, my days were free. Never having had that experience before we thought it would be fun except the world was in a pandemic, my husband couldn’t be far from a hospital & couldn’t walk far due to shortness of breath.

I was a Sunday School preschool teacher who probably had more fun than the kids because after reading the weekly lesson, I always tried to use the toys/items at home to create a visual for the kids. When I wasn’t teaching, I was in adult classes. We had a great mixture of folks that hadContinue reading “Like a Thief in the Night”
Don’t categorize people as ‘normal’
If some people are normal, does that make others abnormal? Be careful with words. My child has said she wants to be normal. She wants to like the other kids. I find her an extrordinary human being and wish more people were like her. She’s multiple neurodivergent and perfect the way she is. Through herContinue reading “Don’t categorize people as ‘normal’”
