One of my 2021 honors was having my words accepted for the You Humanity project that is capturing '1,000 Acts of Kindness.'

I am proud to have been selected for this lovely effort for my work honoring my son and RicStar's Camp. Here's my story.

WELCOME, 2022!! 

Clean slate! New choices! Dream big!

I'm looking forward to chasing some new big dreams and writing projects, while continuing the fight for better awareness/acceptance, respect, resources, and education for kids with disabilities. Support for their families, too.

This website/blog is long overdue for an update, work that is underway as we speak. But there's lots of good info on here, too. Check it out!

Continue to visit my professional Facebook page, too, where I post resources, important disability and inspiring stories daily. You can find me on Twitter and Instagram, too. Just click the links in the upper corners on the website pages.

...And don't forget to get a copy of my book: Breakthrough Parenting for Children with Special Needs: Raising the Bar of Expectations. You can find it at amazon.com (click the book image on the left) and other booksellers, including thru your independent local bookstores. My favs.

Still timely. Still helpful. That's my hope, anyway.

All for now. Thanks for visiting!

P.S. What big goals are you chasing in the New Year? 

Be fearless.

A reminder that my website is currently undergoing needed changes and revisions. I do not know exactly when these will done. 

One of these important changes needed is fixing the link to RicStar's Camp, which is currently broken.  

For now, please click here to get directly to the camp page at the Community Music School, which also includes much more information and new camp registration dates/links. You can also register online there and check out additional music therapy classes.

Another reminder: I also post much more frequently on my professional Facebook page than on this website blog.

You can find that FB page here for daily news, stories and updates.

Thank you for your patience while these changes are being made. It may take a while because of other projects I'm currently involved with are a bigger time priority.
