Most days I look around, and everyone around me seems normal and quite sensible. Then along comes a day and a couple of experiences that turns everything on its head and leaves me feeling like the world isn’t as right as I believed.

When you’re an entrepreneur, having a holiday completely disconnected from work is almost impossible. My situation is even a bit trickier because I’m the company spokesperson. I get calls or e-mails from media folks at all times of the day and quite frankly, I don’t want to miss them. Indeed, it’s my job NOT to. If someone reaches out at 8:00pm for a quote to go to press in the morning, I’m giving a quote and tucking kids into bed at the same time.
An autism mom friend recently wrote a touchingblog postabout her son’s desire for friendship, something that does not always come easily for “our guys.” The response was amazing—with her loyal readers, fans and friends honouring her request for prayers that her son’s wish for friendship might come true.
I think it’s fair to say there are a lot of toys that annoy me. Maybe it’s because I have a basement full of toys no one plays with. The train set and a few other things manage to get some love, but for the most part it all looks like junk to me. I don’t even know how it happened. My kids get very few birthday presents and I’m certain at least a couple of my kids have never stepped foot in a toy store.
