		<description><![CDATA[Lori Shayew, a good friend of mine who&#8217;s writing an inspired book on The Gifts of Autism, asked me to share with her an experience when I felt PURE JOY with Joaquin. As I read her request I recognized immediately the moment she was talking about. This was one of the most memorable and potent [...]]]></description>

I was also extremely intentional, using my &#8220;eye or Mordor&#8221; focusing on areas I wanted to help develop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joaquin&#8217;s pretend traffic lights&#8230; This image represents Joaquin&#8217;s oldest most recurring activity. I&#8217;ve joined this game many times, and I&#8217;ve been deeply challenged by it often. This morning, as I contemplated the hallway to the kitchen full of lights (not green ones), and I experienced the discomfort this explosion of objects causes in my experience, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just like a menstrual period, yet not exactly with the same frequency and predictability, I seem to experience cycles of contractive energy&#8230; They manifest primarily by a very strong need for space: physical and emotional. I find myself wanting to be alone, still, and silent. Mostly still and silent. Yet, mothering a four-year-old Sagittarius so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend was a tough one. Tiny actions or words unleashed a wave of anger towards Joey which consumed my mind during both days. I&#8217;d go to bed okay, or mildly upset, and by morning the emotion was exponentially worse. Very uncomfortable for the three of us. So when a tiny &#8220;emergency&#8221; woke us up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning, right before waking up, I saw the image of an angel (?) all dressed in white, long blond straight hair, and really huge dark eyes. I thought that maybe he&#8217;s someone in my team. That concept of &#8220;team&#8221; is very recent. Like perhaps from Monday night, when I went to sleep and saw [...]]]></description>

I always thank him for the wisdom and tell him that I&#8217;m doing my best to act on that intention. [...]]]></description>

I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;ve dropped as low as I was before the climb, but I&#8217;m definitely not at the top of the mountain any more. And this [...]]]></description>
