We have to stop feeling victim to our lives. We have to stop feeling sorry for ourselves because our parenting journey is different than other people in our family or our friend circle. Look, let's just be honest, raising a child or children with autism is not easy, we all know that.

I want all of you to stop thinking about your life and the first feeling you get is overwhelmed or tired.

You have to figure out how to love your life. Right now, right where you are in your journey.  THIS IS your life so now it is up to you, you get to decide HOW to think and feel about it.

In 2022 I want you to start to talk to yourself like you are proud of your life and not at the effect of it. Give the good in your life equal airtime to the challenges and the difficult times. Life isn’t all good or all bad, life is 50/50.
