Archer's Journey

February 28th, 2023 is Rare Disease Day. Chances are it's rare that you know the date or significance of this day. Why, because it's rare that you or your loved ones are affected by a rare disease. A small percentage of us out here in the world know about the rare day. However the rare population that DO know about the day are fully aware. They may not all order their steaks rare, but they do have a rarity among them! While it's RARE that I share today, given I haven't in nearly 5 years. Even more rare is the day I choose to bring my voice back happens to be National Rare Disease Day, coincidence I think not!   Where in the world has Archer journeyed too? Well I should say, he has became quite a jay bird, rightfully so as any nine year old does and will, a strong will at that. He is finding out what a personality one can have! Jay birds are bold and known for their raucous manner. Archer has learned his voice gets him what he wants, any sounds, louder the better. More o...

One thing leads to another, right? We learn, and grow, and keep moving on up the ladder. These days even quicker, with more of an instant demand. Often times we are involved in varying accomplishments at any given time. With the revved up world we live in today children are being exposed to countless amounts of societal pressure, forcing a rapid rate of maturity. But what has this done for the greater good of our society? Time seems to no longer be on our side. Kindness and expression of genuine gratitude take too much time, and are been replaced with an extra emoticon!

The value of simply observing life unfold has been lost, as instant gratification has become the way of life.  Who has time to just sit back?  I do! Archer has given me the gift of time.  TO BE, to not do, but to be.  To be silent in my ow...

Is it me or does the month of Love, also known as February stir up the exposure of your true emotions, those deeper ones that you don’t always like to come out? When we honor the accumulation of these feelings growing from our hearts, it gives us the courage to ride the waves of society. This year we ALL took a leap of faith, trusted the process, followed the tangent principle, living an extra day. Given once every four years, time for our modern day Gregorian calendar to “catch up.” Why the catch up? Well because the sequencing of 24-hour days, i.e. human’s attempts at regulating structure, falls slightly short of matching Earth's revolutions around the sun. Archer’s genetic sequencing happens to have a slight duplication, his evolution more deliberate, yet continues to be measured against a comparative time table with no “catch up” period granted, more over excessive assessments and focused goals. Instead of being pressured with meeting criteria, we have chosen instead...
