Good Morning Chocolate Wonders!

As you go about your day multitasking and bringing order to both you and your family's world, please remember to reach out when you need help.

Whether it's professional help for your child or a therapist for you. I encourage you to surround yourself with the help you need to move through your current season.

Yes we are amazing and yes we can do many things but the weight we bear can be great and unique and also complicated. That can be a lot for the average friendship to bear. Realize you may need more.

When my youngest son was attending the Center for Autism and the Developing Brain, part of the program was group therapy with the opportunity to have individual therapy as well. I said yes to all.

Back then the twins were barely one and they were trying to explore their environment. Any environment and every environment. My oldest son was about to enter public school with less support and a larger classroom than he needed. Between that and worrying if my youngest son would ever speak again, I thought I was going to crack. Not like a little crack in fine china either, but like ming vase suspended and accidentally dropping from the fifth floor, type of crack.

If it happened, there were going to be lots and lots of pieces to pick up. So when they said these options were available and even partially required, I took it as my sign from God to receive the help I needed.

Looking back I know I would not have made it through this season in my life if I had not had that season of help to clear the emotional clutter off of my plate.
