Necessary Conversations

There have been so many tragedies in our world as of late and, it’s time we have a real conversation about why.

It's been almost exactly 2 months since selling my home in Camarillo and moving to a place I never imagined. I did it! I bought land, deed and all! 2.7 acres in Willow Springs right next to the racetrack and Edwards Air Force Base. The climate is similar to Texas but mostly my hometown of Sandy Utah which is funny because "Sandy"? ha! now I get it lol. it's a desert and the clima...

This should be headline news and no one is talking about it. In Montgomery County Ohio, ELEVEN police officers MURDERED a disabled man and their superiors laughed it off like it was a joke. If they say otherwise, ask them how those murderers were punished. Nothing is being done.

You can't blame someone for defending what's left of themselves. Did you ever play that game in grade school called King of the Mountain? you know the one where everyone starts at the top of a hill and whoever is left standing at the end wins! You just keep pushing everybody off until you're the last one there. It's kind of the opposite in our world. It's like me and Jacob are at the top of this m...

Just going back to the beginning, where I asked the question, what does it feel like to be unseen, unheard, overlooked, screaming into a void. It's like that.

We acknowledge mental illness and autism. As a human species, we have made progress! I suppose we don’t have things called “insane asylums” anymore, or do we? When a mother, wife, woman expresses her grief and/or opinions and thoughts in a manner that freaks everyone out around her, we don’t call her delusional or hysterical anymore, right? When you’re at the grocery store with your 28-year-old, m...

It’s time, it’s way past time we start paying attention to the things we all rely on but never truly acknowledge . N ot in the sense of studying it, or controlling it, but rather understanding it. I don’t know how many people are diagnosed with depression each day, but I know it’s a lot. I’m going to go out on a limb here, because that’s the whole point of this and ask, what is depression? Have yo...

Why is it so hard for us to share our honest group posts publicly, to our personal pages? If one of our children were sick, needing hospitalization or treatment for a serious medical condition, we would absolutely share this to our personal page.  So why don’t we? This is the biggest, most consistent theme in this little world I live in. "Nobody understands" are the 2 most spoken words from everyo...

Thank you for clicking play and joining me on this new adventure. Autism and mental illness are not getting enough of the lime light. For too long, families all over the world are searching for answers and help and all of us are coming up short. Let's talk about it and make some changes happen.
