Hi Welcome to My Place in MySpace!!! My name is Jenn aka Tommy's Mommy April is Autism Awareness Month!!! Every day of every month, I am aware of Autism because it has touched my life personally. My son, Tommy, is autistic and he is my inspiration for so many things in my life. Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today. He has taught me so much in life and made me open my eyes and change in ways I never would have on my own. I am so grateful to have been chosen by God to take on this challenge with my son. I am a Christian and always strive to put my service to Christ first in my life. God has blessed me with three beautiful children. My oldest, Justin, works for the D,M & E Rail Road and is never home. My only daughter, Sarah, is a single parent of a special needs baby, they are my pride and joy, I will never let them move out of my home or life!!! And little Tommy, my Autistic son... Well he's a professional kindergartner, whom has just graduated to the first grade!!! He is the love of my life, and no one can take that special spot in my heart that he has made just for us. Like I mentioned earlier, God has also blessed me with a beautiful little grandson whom with God's special love and guidance, will one day be running from the girls! Right now we're just trying to master one small step at a time. Once again, God does not give us anything that without Him we can not handle. This baby is full of life's' challenges. But with God by our side, he'll be just fine. I am a free lance writer, photographer, motivational speaker and web site designer. My motivational and inspirational programs focus on increasing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. I advocate the importance of a healthy lifestyle which includes nutrition, the healing power of prayer, and I encourage those who are struggling with physical, mental and emotional handicaps to turn to their faith and become involved in a Church Community for support and strength. I am also co owner of a wonderful new group for Mothers and other female relatives who have children (Or grandchildren, nieces, nephews) with 'special needs' or who are highly sensitive due to a variety of mental health challenges. Please feel free to come and check us out on Yahoo! Moms_To_Sensitive_Kids I believe that all things happen for a reason, and all things have their own seasons. I am blessed to be a mom to an autistic child and a grandma to a physically challenged grandbaby. God would not give us something that without him we could not handle. I find strength in faith and prayer. We are all on this journey called life together, and we must all do our part to "Be The Change" that we ourselves wish to see in this world. We must start with ourselves, then teach this method of "The Golden Rule" to our Children... and then to each and every person that we meet, for they will learn by watching and listening to us... Thanks for stopping by my little place on the web here at My Space. Lotsa Hugs & God Bless,
Tommy's Mommy aka ~Jenn
