World Autism Awareness Day. Everyday is a day to spread awareness but we can also join in with the rest of the world that marks a particular day each year to drive it a bit more. I spent the day with so many special characters on the Autistic Spectrum at my local charity. If people say children with Autism are all the same in this or that… Please reconsider. I was with several children on the spectrum today and not one child is anything like the other. Yes they all have a similar diagnosis but the spectrum is so wide…

Kicking off Autism awareness month with our own superstar’s birthday. I don’t think it is any coincidence that Nae-Nae was born on 1st April. She tells me she is a born prankster and she’s not wrong.

There are two calls in life that as a parent and a believer you expect to get. One call I’m praying won’t come for many, many years but it could be tomorrow, next week, next month, next year. No one knows. The other call I pretty much expect everyday and if it doesn’t come it’s a massive relief. What are these calls? Yeah that’s right the call to heaven and the call from your children’s school. I’ve spoken to the Lord and asked that although the call to heaven will definitely come, if possible I would like to complete some…

It’s been a while… Grief has a way of taking you out of things or changing your perspective or priorities on things. None of which completely applies here lol. I just couldn’t write words on a page. Every time I thought to write the hand didn’t reach the keyboard or the phone. My mind would just go blank and I got a feeling in my stomach that made it uncomfortable. However as usual music was my thing so I could do spontaneously songwriting where I just sat at the piano or a with guitar in my hands and pressed record…
