Special Kids Encourage One Another

     I don’t know if you, the reader, are familiar with special needs kids or not; but if you are, you probably already know about the special friendship connection and support that some special individuals give to one another.  I know of a very special young lady who is doing her part to touch the lives of others with her poems, her words, and her website.   She is beautiful and caring; her name is Jackie. 

      Jackie is sharing her gifts with others here on her site: http://iamspecialneeds.com/ .   Jackie “met” a new friend named Michael on video; and, she  said to her mother…he is special like me!  I love that they accept one another for who they are.   Jackie and Michael have shared videos with one another, lending each other positive support and encouragement.   The whole world needs more people like Jackie and Michael.  

       In a world that is quick to look for negative things and point them out to each other…it is wonderful to find two individuals who have words of encouragement and love for each other.  Here is a link to Michael’s video which tells Jackie how he appreciates her new blog.   http://bit.ly/R432F

        If you would be so kind as to visit Jackie’s website and let her know how her site touches you…I know she would feel joyful to hear your comments.   Also, if you would watch Michael’s video and leave a comment I am equally sure it would make his day to hear your thoughts on his generous spirit of good will towards his new friend Jackie! 

        We need to teach everyone to love more, to criticize one another less…and we would all be our best selves now wouldn’t we?

  1. Oh, Rainy!

    It is this agape love sans judgment that has the potential to create world peace!

    Kudos to Jackie for her chutzpah! Three cheers to Michael for offering his friendship in exchange for hers!

    And really, a tissue alert might be just the ticket here! This makes tears in my eyes!

    Hugs to you, to Jackie and to Michael

  2. Rainy,

    Thank you for sharing the story about Jackie and Micheal. Jackie and Michael are great examples for all of us to life by. We need to learn to love more…to encourage one another and to foster friendships that are meaningful.

    Blessing,
