It's good to be back

I don't think I mentioned it, it's good to be back.   I know I need to write and that God has a bigger plan for me; I just haven't made the time for it.  I am know  It's such an extension of who I am.  I "get it" more than I ever have before.  :)  Cheers!  More tomorrow.  Happy Monday and blessings to you are yours. 

The Day!!!

What a week it has been!!!!  We are still so blessed but boy howdy........ Damn!

I went to a leadership and advocacy conferencece and 20 minutes before I had an appointment with my state representative, Chris calls me and tells me his position (because of budget cuts) has been eliminated.  Joy!!!

All went well.  My state rep. (Dan Huberty - R) was awesome!  He is a freshman and fresh from being on the school board (that helps) and his son has IEP's as well.  For what, I don't know.

Point being, it was a wonderful and productive day!  Still, God's grace is so evident.

I had a great time at TALAC (Texas Advanced Leadership and Disability Conference).  I met some amazing people, true trailblazers.  I also had a chance to tape most of the workshops and key note addresses. 

The biggest thing I came away with (and knew academically) was how "normal" they were/are.  They arem't any different that you and I; they just get to the same place going a different way.  That's all.  Once of the coolest guys I met had CP,   He looks on what he does (public speaking, advocacy and such) as story telling.

Isn't that what we are all here to do; tell a story?  :)   Anyways.....

As the story ensues.....I'm looking for another job, Chris is as well and I'm wondering, worrying (shouldn't be) and praying about how all of this will make sense for Cary.  But, it will.  My prayer and want is that I can find something that will give the time I need (I'm working on my own "thing" at the moment) and the money we want to get where we need to go.  Is that any different than any other mother or father?   Hmmm......
