Celebrating the holidays is fun for all families, but for those with children on the autism spectrum, sometimes family activities can be challenging if there is too much of a sensory overload.

💙💙Posted • we can be so critical of ourselves - why didn’t I do this? why did I say that? I wish I did this instead.. so I made this piece to remind us that we you (and most likely everyone around you) are doing your best and that is enough 💫

your best will look different each day, so as long as you are trying your best, that’s all we can do 💖

hope you all have a wonderful weekend! it’s a beautiful day out where I am so I’ll be outside all day ☀️

I hope your week is off to a great start.. and if it isn't, maybe this message is for you.

Please.. stop putting people on pedestals.

I see it way too often. Too many looking at this celebrity or that influencer or their parents or their older brother or whoever the f**k and then beating themselves up when they think they can't compare. In reality, everyone is human …. They're amazing, but you’re amazing, too!!

You’re good enough, you’re great at s**t too, you’re wonderful. It’s amazing to have warm feelings towards others, but keep things in balance. I often see people not being kind to themselves but putting others on a mountain .. heck, oftentimes people they don’t even know.

I'm asking you today to stop doing that. Take everyone off the pedestal, and get excited about the person in the mirror. Now go have an amazing week!!

Often times, we can stop short of achieving greatness because of the cost it takes to get there. I love to empower people to dream big and believe, but it would be a disservice to not tell you the about the behind the scenes grit.

Success won’t show up at your door. It takes hard work and determination and your dreams won’t happen over night. There’s a process you must walk through first. The process is less than glamorous and there’s no cookie cutter path. You may even feel like quitting most days, thinking it'd be easier to just give up all together. It sometimes looks like early mornings, getting your practice in before the sun rises, and staying up late trying to get your school work done, all while trying to balance a social life and invest in relationships. It requires sacrifice and time poured into mastering your sport or skill. Day after day after day. But all of this is what produces grit. It’s what shapes us and prepares us.

Don’t stop short. Keep taking steps, keep dreaming, and keep saying “yes” to showing up, even when it doesn’t look glamorous and no one is watching.

Always go the extra mile....💕

One day a man was asked to paint a boat. He brought his paint and brushes and began to paint the boat a bright red, as the owner asked him.

While painting, he noticed a small hole in the hull, and quietly repaired it.

When he finished painting, he received his money and left.

The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter and presented him with a nice check, much higher than the payment for painting.

The painter was surprised and said “You've already paid me for painting the boat Sir!”

“But this is not for the paint job. It's for repairing the hole in the boat.”

“Ah! But it was such a small service... certainly it's not worth paying me such a high amount for something so insignificant.”

“My dear friend, you do not understand. Let me tell you what happened:

“When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention the hole.

“When the boat dried, my kids took the boat and went on a fishing trip.

“They did not know that there was a hole. I was not at home at that time.

“When I returned and noticed they had taken the boat, I was desperate because I remembered that the boat had a hole.

“Imagine my relief and joy when I saw them returning from fishing.

“Then, I examined the boat and found that you had repaired the hole!

“You see, now, what you did? You saved the life of my children! I do not have enough money to pay your 'small' good deed.”

So no matter who, when or how, continue to help, sustain, wipe tears, listen attentively, and carefully repair all the 'leaks' you find. You never know when one is in need of us, or when God holds a pleasant surprise for us to be helpful and important to someone.

Along the way, you may have repaired numerous 'boat holes' for several people without realizing how many lives you've saved. ❤️

Make a difference and always Go the Extra Mile...
