Those experiences were brutal.  Each of them, naturally, knocked us down and off course for a period of time.  But once we accepted the truth, by giving up our innocent ideals and letting go of the way things used to be, we pressed forward, stronger, and with a greater understanding and respect for life.Getting to the right state of mind—one that actually allowed us to move forward with our lives—required mindful practice.  Because when we were initially faced with each one of those brutal experiences—when we were standing at the forefront of another rocky crossroads in our lives—you better believe our minds were spinning with negative emotions.  We had to learn to catch ourselves in that negative state of emotional unrest, and then consciously calm our minds, so we could think straight, and make the best decisions possible with the hand we’d been dealt.The simplest way of doing this?Proactive daily reminders.It’s all about keeping the right thoughts at the top of your mind every day, so they’re readily available on those inevitable days when you need them most.  For us, that meant sitting down quietly with ourselves every morning and reflecting on precisely what we needed to remember.  We used quotes (many of which are tiny excerpts from our books) like the ones below to do just that.  Some people call them affirmations, or mantras, or prayers, or convictions, but in any case these daily reminders kept us on track by keeping calm, peaceful, productive thoughts and perspectives at the top of our minds, even when life got utterly chaotic.We ultimately learned that peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard realities to deal with—peace means to be in the midst of all those things and

We tend to look “normal” to others’ eyes, yet we live with daily pain, uncertainty, altered lives, and so many heartbreaking losses. And then you add that judgment we feel from others and it can just become too overwhelming to take on. Sometimes, it is actually a strange relief to show our disability to others when we are using our wheelchair or wearing a brace. Those visuals sometimes make a difference in receiving compassion, patience, and understanding.

We found programs that were tailor-made for our child and allowed us the opportunity as a family to attend church regularly. As a matter of fact, I believe God used her diagnosis to bring us back to him. With a volunteer that showed up every Sunday to be our daughter’s “buddy,” we suddenly felt accountable and were determined to show up regularly. Showing up regularly is what ultimately led me to be baptized again as an adult and for us to create a nonprofit that helps parents, pastors, and teachers find the resources to help children with disabilities be their best.
