PACE

Well..  my boy got a thorough assessement that took over five hours to complete. Finally we found a professional that has some sort of solution to the problems. After 15 years, it's about time.  It seems as though there is a huge gap between his intelligence and processing. So in other words.. we have a smart kid here who's body won't work for him.

That's what PACE aims to improve: his underlying processing. It's like what came first the chicken or the egg? Did he revert inside of himself because nothing made sense or did nothing make sense because he  reverted inside of himself? I think genetics played a role but also the chronic ear infections from age 6 months to present probably didn't help either.

My husband is taking him to work with a coach 1.5 hours three days a week and then working with him at home 3 days a week. I am working those nights so it works out perfectly. My husband is a natural leader and my son doesn't give him any guff.

When I attempted the PACE homework with him, he was not very pleasing to work with. Kind of like how the kids behave at school when a substitute teacher comes in.. 

Anyway...  I applied to volunteer again at Option this summer. God willing they will accept me. I want nothing more than to immerse myself in the place for miracles once again. I know that LOVE is the answer and it is all in me.. so I want to be the change I want to see..  and where else better to work on doing that?

Love

I love love. You know I love it. I have come to understand however that love being spread in the name of spiritual pursuits and sought after in the name of enlightenment is nothing more than vanity if not first expressed in my own home. You dig? Love starts at home and ultimately radiates out from there.

Patient, kind...  all that good stuff.
