"See with a different eye.
visualize with a colorful mind,
manifest your thoughts with the energy within."
Michael Bassey Johnson
Opportunities to learn from children began with the Head Start Program, then pre-school development, followed by day care teacher and director. So I was well versed with kiddos from diverse nationalities, varying incomes, and numerous family dynamics.
Out of my four children, my second son, born on this day fifty-one years ago, challenged my skills repeatedly. With each stage of growth, my knowledge expanded and perspectives shifted to understand the individualistic needs of my son.
This challenged child learned to use his stubbornness to endure opposition for what he stood for. His endless energy propelled him farther than expectations. His deeply buried heart found ways to heal through on going random acts of kindness. This handsome and exceptionally successful man continues to unfold in ways that make his momma proud.
