{my boys in tickle love}
I just finished packing our bags for a long weekend in Victoria, BC. Our honey*moon spot. The place we go each Summer because we are drawn to its beauty and energy. And the healthy food and yerba mate latte’s are divine! ; )
Before I head out for respite and play, I wanted to come here to express my gratitude for the comments in my previous post. Gratitude for the rainbow of love, support, wisdom, websites, books, videos and most of all your own stories so bravely, vulnerably and gorgeously told. Talk about WHOLEistic goodness!! My husband and I have been truly awed. We’ve had to read just a few at a time, marinate in them and savor the nuggets that feel right for our hearts. I am so often brought to tears at the community of beautiful hearts that are attracted to this space and how it feels safe for not only me but for all those who feel inspired to share their own unique voice. Its such a deep and soulful practice: Hearing, listening to our own intuition while honoring wisdom from those that care deeply for us. We feel so very blessed.
Love and light to each of you this weekend. Get some good ol’ tickling in!

xo : ) ……………….enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and though my comment was probably lost amidst all the love you were sent these last few days, if you would ever like to ‘talk’ my email is above……i live this every day with my little ones finding a balance between holistic and none, walking in both worlds and in the end just surrendering as best i can, with endless love for my boys……much love to you three!

denise, i have taught school long enough now to realize there is no such thing as “normal” and all children deserve specialized attention, encouragement, attention and enrichment. i know this journey is not an easy one for you all but trust there will be blessings along the way – and cedar will lead the way…bravely.

We are all perfection unfolding. The flaws lay in the power of thought, racing, probing, researching, implicating. Your tribe is divine. You are doing every likkle thing you are destined to do. The path does not end up at perfection…perfection IS. Just BE with this gem who was brought to your life as it was already written. Your open soul is the gift you give to us all. Your journey parallels all of our own, morphed and smiling back at us. I treasure your courage. Lay yourself down girl, lay yourself down. Guidance and Protection, A saja….

A blessing, a prayer, a wish, that All Souls travelling this road called Crystal / Rainbow / Star / Indigo in Transition / Autism / Asperger’s / sensitive / psychic / empathic ( … the list and the beat go on and on!) be they children, mothers, fathers, aunties, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers, doctors, teachers, healers, strangers, (all of us!) find peace, wisdom, acceptance, compassion, healing and love. May our hearts open together, in love, safety, respect, kindness, harmony and honesty as we walk this new path together. Amen X

Dear, inspirational, tender, beautiful, soulful, gentle, strong, mother , Denise- I have been reading your blog for over a year now and for those moments reading your sharing of the journey your beautiful family is now beginning made me remember all those feelings on first hearing my own little boy, Josh, had Asperger’s. He is 8 years old now and was diagnosed at 4. There is not a mother, father or family, who has a child diagnosed with ASD that won’t feel your pain, vulnerability, confusion and fear which then gives way to the most phenomenal love and capacity to implement the impossible to help your child feel safe, secure and loved unconditionally, not by just his family but by each person he comes into contact with. You will never be far from love, support, genuine kindness, advice, affection, prayer and compassion. Your instincts as parents will guide the choices you make for Cedar – keep believing in them. A diagnosis often brings with it, for a while, the loss of hope – I promise you it will return stronger than you could possibly imagine now. My son is recovering because I have believed in my choices for him. Your blog has brought so much joy to my life – unconditional acceptance and inclusion and hope for a better world where we all connect and heal. I wish you and your family everything that you need to navigate your beautiful souls through this journey.
