Having a teen with special needs, I can totally relate to the benefits of throwing expectations out the window and making the most of moments as they come. The surprise results are often more powerful and joyous than the expectations were anyways! (like your lemonaide story) Amalia and Brandon are living examples of the gifts we can receive from each other and all we can learn if we open our hearts and approach each other repectfully, without judgements. Thank-you for sharing this message, I hope it enlightens many more people on how an accepting attitude towards differences can make this world a better place for everyone.

I think the podcast is terrific! It is always a pleasure to work with someone like you, who is professional, and loves the project. I look forward to adding the podcast to my new website.
