Many times when I am dealing with a mom whose child is different, it is typically around the feelings of fear, frustration, and despair. I totally know how that feels and deeply respect what it means to feel helpless, overwhelmed, and probably at some level, angry.

Are you healthy? I am not asking if you are functioning. I am asking you whether or not you are really healthy? Are you taking care of yourself?

I usually refrain from getting involved with politics but the recent ruling on mammograms by our government has me hanging from the rafters. It has taken us the last 20 years to get women to be proactive in taking care of themselves and now they want to undo all of this work by mandating new guidelines that delay mammograms until the age of 50.
