Gardening, Blogging, Cooking or Baking, Mentoring Youth, and DIY Projects

  • I enjoy gardening because it allows me to connect with nature and find a sense of peace and accomplishment. Working with plants teaches me patients and the importance of nurturing growth over time. Whether it's a blooming flower bed or fresh vegetables, it gives me a break from screens and daily stresses, making it a perfect way to unwind and recharge.
  • Blogging is more so me telling my son and I story. Showing the world that you are not alone and its other's out there that's raising a child with special needs. I truly believe in, "you don't know who you're helping by sharing your story."

  • Cooking and baking is something I enjoy because it allows me to be creative and experiment with new flavors and techniques. Hosting family dinners and sharing a new recipe is a plus for me especially knowing I can put a smile on someone face and hearing them say "OMG this is good, who cooked this?"
  • Mentoring youth gives me a chance to make a positive impact and help guide the next generation. I find it rewarding to share my experiences and insights, helping young people navigate challenges, build confidence, and achieve their goals. Their fresh perspectives and energy inspires me, which motivates me to keep giving back.
  • My DIY projects just keeps me from getting bored and I find it very calming and relaxing.
