Making Adjustments

This time last year, I was busy preparing my third issue of Another Normal. Since then, I’ve committed many hours collecting and sharing news and resources for families with disabilities, particularly parents of young adults. What started as something rewarding to do during the pandemic has blossomed into quite a passion project for me. I love learning new things that help my own family and sharing information with readers. And I love hearing from you about what’s valuable to your lives and of interest to those you care about. 

Over the past year, I have also loved working with parents one on one through individualized coaching that supports them on their journeys.  It’s tremendously rewarding to help people find more joy, direction and fulfillment — to help them learn to bloom. It’s also quite time-consuming.

 

In order to serve my coaching clients, develop my practice for parents and adult siblings of people with disabilities, and maintain balance in my own life, I’ve decided to adjust my publication schedule for this newsletter. I’m committed to researching and sharing news and resources through Another Normal, just not every week. I hope you will continue to read, share and enjoy the newsletter. Perhaps you’d even like to contribute to a future issue.

 

I’m inviting readers to share thoughts and perspective through Another Normal in whatever way feels most comfortable. If you’re interested in learning more about how this might work, please contact me. I hope to hear from many of you, as I know you have great stories to share that can help others on this journey. Collaborating is easy, and I’m excited to do so. I hope you will be, too.

In the meantime, thank you for being here, for caring about young people with disabilities and for encouraging me personally over the past year. I truly am grateful. 

In ordinary life, we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.
