The other day I looked at my To Do list and thought to myself, "look at my world's blending so nicely." A little sewing, a little fashion, a little autism, a little working on my shop. I like this list.
In the past, I felt like I used to compartmentalize my life. Especially with this blog where, for a while, I decided I will only talk about my sewing/fashion endeavors. Now, not so much. I enjoy giving people a glimpse into my life as a mother of a special needs kids who also runs a blog, an online shop, who likes fashion, etc. Sometimes my worlds collide and sometimes they blend nicely. This is Autism Acceptance and Awareness. As I accept my life and what it has become (the good and the bad), I can make others aware.
I so agree! We can't define ourselves just one way -- for a long time, when my son was younger and needed more help, Autism seemed to be the only thing on my radar....now I try to mix it all up -- I guess that is MY autism acceptance!
ReplyDeleteI love this post! I know this is a simple thing to notice, but to me the small realizations have the most impact.
ReplyDeleteI am still trying to blend all the faucets of my life nicely. Someday.
Sharing is caring :) Thanks for sharing your life.
ReplyDeleteEven when we have blogs on a specific focus, it's a good thing to show a little of our "human" side from time to time. Keeps us grounded and makes us real.
Love this post as well!!! It is always a blessing when different aspects of our lives blend together as opposed to crashing into each other. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the support ladies. Yes, I find that having two children on the spectrum has made me more authentic. Go figure!
