How to get into a good headspace when you aren’t there from Ps 105:4-5

06/12/2026

When our oldest son turned 21, he compared it to a video game and said he had finally unlocked all the levels.

It's probably best that nobody tells him there are a few more levels after that. 😉

It made us realize that special needs parents unlock achievements every single week.

🏆 Special Needs Parent Achievements Unlocked This Week 🏆

🎮 Arrived at an appointment on time
🎮 Remembered all the paperwork
🎮 Went to the bathroom uninterrupted
🎮 Survived on less sleep than should be humanly possible
🎮 Successfully transitioned out of a preferred activity
🎮 Drank your coffee while it was still hot

Which achievement did you unlock this week? (Bonus points if you have one to add!)

A summer permission slip for special needs parents:

☐ It's okay if your summer doesn't look like everyone else's.

☐ It's okay to skip the event that will cost your child three days of regulation afterward.

☐ It's okay if "vacation" means eating popsicles in the backyard while your child plays in the sprinkler.

☐ It's okay to say "no" to one more therapy activity if what your family actually needs is rest.

☐ It's okay to celebrate progress that no one else notices.

☐ It's okay to laugh at the absurd moments. (Because there will be absurd moments.)

☐ It's okay if this season is beautiful and hard at the same time.

No signature required.

Just a reminder that you know your child better than anyone else 💚.

9 days left.

In just 9 days, we'll prepare the very first Hope Notes mailing.

Hope Notes was created to remind moms of children with disabilities and special needs that they are seen, loved, and not walking this journey alone.

If you'd like to encourage a special mom in your life—or receive Hope Notes yourself—be sure to sign up before the deadline so you don't miss this first mailing.

The sign up for the first Hope Notes mailing closes in 9 days.

As summer begins, social media will soon fill with vacation photos, vbs pictures, camps, road trips, and family adventures.

For some families impacted by disabilities, summer may look very different.

And that's okay.

Each summer, our family comes up with a list of things that we want to do to make summer special for each of our family members. It could be as simple as reading a book together or eating a slice of water melon but it gives us something to look forward to and make memories.

Is there something simple that your family is looking forward to this summer?

Special needs moms spend so much time caring for others, they rarely receive encouragement themselves. Hope Notes changes that!

🌟 Merry Christmas from Hope Anew! 🌟

On this holy day, we celebrate the birth of Jesus—the ultimate light of hope that came into a dark and weary world. Just as a tiny baby in a manger brought renewal, healing, and unbreakable promise to all who feel lost or overwhelmed, He brings that same hope to YOU today.

To every parent walking the extraordinary journey of raising a child with special needs: You are seen. And in this season, may you feel the gentle reminder that you're not alone—God is with you, just as He was in that stable long ago.

This Christmas, let's hold onto the truth: Hope was born that night, and it's alive in your family today. 💙
