To the silver haired lady that gently took my hand in the airport ~

Your eyes were kind.

Your face was patient; pensive.

Wise.

Knowing.

There was a time, not so long ago, when I struggled to find the magic in this mess- in this diagnosis we were so petrified by.

And then, something changed…

Dear Neurotypical Friends,

As summer approaches, there’s a good chance you’ll meet someone like our girl- in the pool, by the ocean, at the playground...

Two years ago, I didn’t realize April would become such an important month for us. 

Two years ago I knew nothing about Autism other than it was something to be terrified of. 

Two years ago I didn’t know our world was about to be changed-

At the risk of upsetting the Endless Summer crowd, we have one month left until school starts and I, for one, am excited for the next chapter to start. It’s no secret it gets hot as Hades down here in South Carolina- nothing like a humid, 95 degree morning to start your day- so this is just about the time when I start dreaming of the “-er” months.

Happy Friday, friends!

What a week it’s been- I’ve been overwhelmed by the love and support you all have shown me with the launch of pre-orders for my book.

In case you missed it, we wrote a children’s book! Writing My Sister Lila Lee has been one of the greatest joys of my life and I can’t wait to share it with the world this fall- if you’re local to Charleston, be on the lookout for our mini press tour!
