Okay, so I normally NEVER post things like this, but I need all the help that I can get.  My child with the huge personality, who has ADHD, a sensory processing disorder and who has over an Apraxia diagnosis, has decided that he wanted to do a contest to win a spot in a local commercial (and also $1000...that can buy a lot of dinosaurs, you know...LOLOL)  If this contest were based on actual talent, my son would win it, hands down.  However, it's based on "likes"  UGH.  He is about 93 votes from first place with a week and a half left.  I'm asking everyone...EVERYONE to signal boost this for me, to click the link and also "like" his video.  Help my little man achieve this.  His video is pretty freaking awesome, I'm just saying!!  Thanks everyone!!!!

Today is my four year anniversary on Tumblr. I can't believe all of the changes that I've seen in four years, from writing about being a Navy family, to divorce, to having a child with special considerations to finding peace and joy and strength in myself, to profound grief and learning how to heal. It's been a wild, wild ride. For those who've been with me from the beginning, notably Ash, Cari, Kim and John....thank you.
