Be Bold, Be Beautiful, Be You
Be Bold, Be Beautiful, Be You
I often reflect on how I write my posts and how the world will treat my son. I pretend I have thick skin but this is my baby. The words of others can truly influence your life and I try to help my son understand this. I blocked someone because they weren’t fair to my son and all the other people like myself that have any type of different ability. I was born with hemihypertrophy- my right side is larger than my left and I have numerous other things like arthritis associated with it. I was that special needs kid and now I’m that special needs momma to my amazingly gifted child. The words of this person don’t even matter but the emotions do and that’s their emotions they carry. Kindness and grace will go a long way to change the world. I always tell Owen we have to say words that are kind and grace to others as we want for ourselves. We all got something. My shoes are no bigger than anyone else’s to fill but I can tell you they are filled with all the love in the world for my son.
Tonight I painted this with emotions and with the knowledge that we are all special and unique. Be bold, be beautiful, be you.
