Only a True Empath can read their ASD child, the way I read my son…and others.

  • “IS there anybody out THERE…?”

    One of THE biggest, most debated, most long-standing questions  (presented to the leaders on this planet for explanation), is …”Is there anybody (else) out there?” Referring -of course- to the Universe,  beyond Earth. But…Why? Why do humans continuously debate & battle over this query? My opinion? It’s because, they don’t (or believe they can’t), understand… Read more

  • *Matthmatician*

    “Who is your most favorite person?” Easy…Matthmatician! That is one of the silly nicknames, I’ve bestowed upon my son. His name is Matthew… and I’ve put different spins on his name, his whole life. Of course, his first “nickname” was Charlie Brown…becuz he had THE roundest head we’d ever seen…besides Charlie Brown. These days, however,… Read more

  • Fragile Hope

    It’s a sad state that the human race seems to be in. All this freedom to reach out to one another, no matter the distance…all this knowledge and information at our fingertips; such positive benefits of the internet…affording all (who care to), the opportunity to understand the environment, government, history, struggles, sorrows, etc… of peoples… Read more

  • A Total Put-Off

    What have you been putting off doing? Why? Starting this blog was supposed to be a way I could do something positive, with the lessons I’ve learned in my 58 yrs on this Earth. Through a childhood spent in Arkansas- where the air in the summer was scented with honeysuckle and freshly mown grass- I… Read more

  • fair-weather friends aren’t so fair, after all they’re MIA, when you’re down nary a call then, when you’re flush here they come, ready to play hands out…receptive to what they can take -tina *release…from a brief  moment of self-pity 😒 Read more

  • Deja freaking Vu

    Disorienting. That is the best word I can think of, to describe how it feels sitting here…watching the “pre-show”, for tonite’s Presidential Debate…with DONALD TRUMP! It, still just doesn’t feel real. Trump…now, a convicted felon… is STILL ALLOWED TO EVEN CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?!  For over 8 years, this man who wants… Read more

  • Pick Your Battles (& your words), carefully

    Generally speaking, this is good advice; specifically, speaking with my autistic son…this is vital. The wrong word, the wrong phrasing…can trigger an aggressive reaction. There’s a need to be in a heightened state of awareness(24/7), when speaking about…anything; it can be frustrating, when I’m sick, or flat exhausted from sleep deprivation. And, since I tend… Read more

  • Yum

    My sister in law’s Momma makes this dish with spinach & black eyed peas & just the way she seasons and prepared it…OMG! IT…IS…HEAVEN! I could, quite literally, eat that dish (prepared by her) every day of my life & be BLESSED! If I had to choose ONE dish & only one dish, that would… Read more

  • Here goes… everything

    It’s unclear to me, just exactly what has been holding me back. I’d sit, nearly frozen in fear (like a deer in the headlights, as they say); staring at the keyboard…and, certain that nobody will ever read what I write; cuz I have nothing of interest to blog about. *Sigh* 🙄 Then, I started remembering… Read more

  • The Art of Connection

    In the ever-evolving world, the art of forging genuine connections remains timeless. Whether it’s with colleagues, clients, or partners, establishing a genuine rapport paves the way for collaborative success. Read more
