I was actually working on a checklist of things to do in preparation for the winter storm we have coming in this weekend when I noticed one of my co-workers shared a document in our slack channel that was much more comprehensive than my list, so I’m stealing his… credit goes to Will Scott. Emergency […]
Estate Planning Checklist
The other day I did a blog post about Estate Planning for My Special Needs Child, I got to thinking that I should have probably shared some really basic, but important information about estate planning that I learned when my dad passed away a few years ago. I would honestly print this list out and […]
Estate Planning for my Special Needs Child
As the parent of a neuro-diverse child on the autism spectrum there are things that can consume your thoughts and drain your energy if you let them. I’m going to be completely transparent here in hopes that another parent experiencing similar anxiety might find comfort in knowing. they are not alone and maybe benefit from […]
Lessons Learned on Giving from my Mom & Dog
This morning I was drinking my coffee and going over my calendar for the week and kept being interrupted by my best girl Harley laying beside me snoring in the most rhythmic pattern you’ve ever heard, it was almost like Nate Dog & Warren G out regulating… she’s laying there taking up more than her […]
Making Memories & Looking Ahead
I sent this out to my farmers that are subscribed to my Cotton Club Newsletter this morning and wanted to share it here as well. It kind of summarizes how our family choses to celebrate Christmas moving forward. It was during Christmas break two years ago that I was on the phone w/ my dad […]
Real Talk about Mental Health and Agriculture
Everyone Depends on the Farmer No one understands the pressure that farmers are under unless they’ve walked a mile in their shoes. I was telling someone the other day how rural communities are completely dependent on the success of agriculture, it’s always been that way. If farmers have a good year everyone else does too, […]
What we all need in Dark Times…
Even though we differ in several ways I have always somehow felt a connection to Hemingway, not as a writer, but as a person. I do know he dealth with some dark times and depression (and without the help of modern medicine I might add). For some reason the algorithms keep pulling up quotes by […]
Being Broken but Keeping On…
Ernest Hemingway once wrote: The hardest lesson I have had to learn as an adult is the relentless need to keep going, no matter how broken I feel inside. This truth is raw, unfiltered, and painfully universal. Life doesn’t stop when we are exhausted, when our hearts are shattered, or when our spirits feel threadbare. It keeps moving—unyielding, indifferent—demanding that we keep pace. There is no pause button for grief, no intermission for healing, no moment where the world gently steps aside and allows us to mend. Life expects us to carry our burdens in silence, to push forward despite the weight of all we carry inside.
BlueDB Project Plan: Innovating Neurodiverse Support Services
I started storyboarding this project last year and pitched it to a few friends who crossover both the technical world as well as having family or friends connected to the neurodiverse community. I do not want to go into too much detail so as to not give away my idea, but a broad overview would be a web service that provides valuable, curated, detailed information about a child (or adult) on demand for many applications (police, ambulance, medical, emergency, etc.
Spending Christmas on the Road
Needless to say this past year has been challenging for me on a personal level. Not only was it the first year without my dad, who we lost days before Christmas last year, it’s also been challenging on a personal and professional level for me. This has undoubtedly been a challenging year for the agriculture […]
