Moonlight And Moments

This Thanksgiving (I know we're a tad late), we turn gratitude inward. In this soft, metaphorical story, a mysterious mailbox that only sends thank-you letters receives one for the first time—addressed simply: To Me. What follows is a tender exploration of self-recognition, invisible strength, and the quiet power of thanking yourself for surviving, for trying, and for becoming. This episode is a love letter to your own endurance—because you’ve always deserved your own kindness.Original Song: "Thank You, Me"

In this special episode dedicated to my son Arthur Skye, I share a quiet, celestial story about a child who moves to a rhythm no one else can hear and a mother who learns to stop fixing and start listening.

A soft space for moms raising autistic children, for parents raising kind children, and for anyone learning that difference is not a flaw, it's another kind of brilliance.
