The vision of Celebrating Today's Family is one of shifting perspectives around desires instead of needs, traditional family roles to the new paradigm of freedom within truly loving relationships, and from a paradigm of "it's broken, let's fix it," to one of "it's perfect just as it is, let's celebrate it." Understanding that it can be a difficult task untangling from the old paradigm of belief systems, Celebrating Today's Family offers support through spiritual counseling, healing and education …

Amazing and Brilliant Minds...  That is what our children have.  Children on the spectrum have awesome abilities and giftings that are often overlooked and ignored.  We are standing as a body of people on the spectrum or related to people/ children on the spectrum,  believing that amazing and brilliant capabilities are more of a focus than the "disability" label so many put on us.  Many would say it is a question of weather the glass is half empty or half full, but we say the glass is completely …

This group is for parents who seek to build community through meaningful friendships, find creativity in shaping the lives of our children, and learn parenting techniques along the way. I have decided to start this group because I too seek community and I want to share what I have learned as an early childhood educator and parent coach.

We believe that through practice our members will gain more confidence in their ability to communicate. This, in turn, will also foster a general increase in self-confi …
