At one point in time I thought to migrate my blog from Blogger to WordPress. Sadly, it was just too much work. I cut my teeth at Blogger and it just came more naturally. I don’t blog much anymore but if you’d like to keep up with Trevor make sure to head over to our Blogger site: Happy Being Trevy. Continue reading To Stay Connected
Every summer and school break, I work with Trevy at home. We call it Mommy School. It’s enjoyment is highly debatable. This year, though, I think we both agree it’s J.O.Y. 100%. Today I grabbed a quick clip of his piano time. The Backstory: For YEARS we have been introducing Trevor to the piano. We would try for a little while and then break from … Continue reading piano hands
Because of our life in ministry I have been asked often about “miracles”. Only our idea of miraculous usually isn’t unified. The miracles I see around me have a tendency to pull disappointed looks from those asking. They’re wanting to know about amazing healing. Instead, I share the miracle of peace in spite of health issues, chronic or acute. They want to know about financial … Continue reading reading and rhyming and miracles
I have heard many people poo-poo the idea that the immune system has any effect on the brain. It’s not science, they say. All the while, mocking those of us that have chosen to try and reduce internal inflammation (aka, calm the immune system) through herbal remedies and diets. Science is rooted in observation, is it not. I have observed changes in my son’s cognition … Continue reading humility and curiosity are good things
A month or so ago, I took Trevor for his first true nature walk. We walked much longer than I thought we might. He fatigues easily. But he was curious and enjoyed bossing me around by saying which way we were going to turn next. He had NO idea what nature was and it was adorable. He’d point at a car and cry, “Nature!” Or … Continue reading I was thinking
I know I did a little FB victory update recently about Trevor learning to independently buckle his seat belt. But the thing is… I’m not sure that I fully captured how amazing this is for me! Such a little thing. Buckling your child’s seatbelt. But it requires energy. And when you don’t have even a drop more to give that little thing can be crushing. There … Continue reading that beautiful, amazing, musical click
Trevor’s nap routine includes cuddling together and sharing happy, scary and/or angry thoughts from his school day. I use the thoughts he shares when we say our nap time prayers. He usually only ever has happy thoughts to share. Today was a normal day and he only had happy thoughts. His speech session was his first happy choice. When I called his ST by her … Continue reading randomnings
It’s easy to get melancholy when you’re dealing with cranky sick people. That’s me. Over here. On Thanksgiving…dealing with cranky sick people rather than eating turkey and pie. But I was reminded that it’s still November. Which means it’s still epilepsy awareness month. Which reminded me that 7 Thanksgivings ago we were dealing with a different kind of sickness. 7 Novembers … Continue reading Thanksgiving Perspective
Trevor was not excited about his weekly outpatient speech session yesterday. He’s recovering from a nasty virus. And I kinda don’t blame him for wanting to be lazy. The thing is…I know in my bones how important this therapy is to him. That thought gave me pause. So I asked him if he knew why he sees Miss. Speech. He said no. I … Continue reading complaining about seeing Miss. Speech
