2018 was the year of self-advocacy… for each of us individually, our marriage and yes – even our dear Maizy-girl.

 

Little did we know we had been working to get to this point for – well – the better part of a decade.

It’s a story that some of you know and have followed, but with many parts yet untold.

 

And guess what – it’s time. 

 

This is a story that makes me want to go back to moments like this and wrap my arms around these two youngins and give them answers and guide them to help the journey be less painful go faster.

But then I remind myself…

 

This is a journey they must take. One they MUST endure. For it’s a journey that will shape and mold them into continually better versions of themselves.

 

Karin – you will cry.  And then you’ll stop crying because crying just doesn’t come anymore.

Dan – you will get upset – even though you don’t show it. You’ll work hard and let work be your guide and solace.

 

There will be tools that don’t work, and some that do.

 

And all the ups and downs will bring you here. It’s not that they journey is complete, it’s just the beginning of a new book. One that we’re excited to write as well as share.

So join me over the next few weeks as we share more about this journey towards self-advocacy and change.

For now… I’ll just be over here thanking God for the roller-coaster He’s brought us on and keep singing my own version of The Five Stairsteps “Ooh Child”

 

We’re glad you’re here.

xo,

K
