Posted today on Facebook..........
Those who know me
well, know that I am a true believer in paying it forward and helping others
help themselves and their loved ones where possible, yet I am also a very
private person which makes it tough for me to let my guard down and be
vulnerable enough to share my story with strangers. I am blessed with many
connections from acquaintance to former teammates/coaches/colleagues, to a
village of educators that have guided and supported me over the years and most
importantly the few very best friends who continue to stand by me, guide me,
lend an ear and support me through thick and thin.
A small percentage
of these people are aware that I have been blogging since my 10 year old was
2.5. What started as an outlet for me
has turned into so much more. My initial
focus was on the raw reality of trial and error, as we tried to figure out what
was going on with our son and once diagnosed, how to raise a child with
Autism. Since then, our 7 year old has
been diagnosed with ADHD among other things and the blog has evolved into posts
around many types of early intervention and the results or outcomes of doing so
in a timely manner or doing nothing at alll.
Just last week my
husband asked me if I was posting on social media, Facebook and/or Twitter as
he and others have continuously encouraged me to share the success and failures
on this road less traveled with others. This latest attempt worked as he convinced
me to create a twitter account in an effort to reach a broader audience,
sharing my blog in an effort to pay it forward, letting others know they aren’t
alone, there is hope and last but not least inspire resilience!
And so it
begins………You can find me on twitter @BeResilient4U https://twitter.com/BeResilient4U
