Autism Awareness Giveaway Week 3!!

The word is snarfly.

And the definition of snarfly is:

• an autistic specific emotion, meaning the joy of feeling comfortable.

It is a word invented by Laura Nagle; I attended a screening of a documentary based on her life, called Vectors of Autism. She is an adult with autism who I've met several times through the support group I attended in Flagstaff. She is an amazing person with an amazing story to tell.  It is a MUST see.

The film is beautiful, amazing, and true.

 Thank you Laura, Susan and everyone else who helped in making this incredible film that's touching the lives of so many.

Check Laura out on her website.

Throughout my craziness this past week, I thought of many great things to write about for tonight. But, life got the best of me, and I haven't had a moment to sit down and organize my thoughts. So forgive me while I go recharge my batteries and curl up on the couch and escape into my fantastic book.  

But please take some time to sign up for this, yet another awesome giveaway! 

This week's giveaway is:

Another great read that won't disappoint.

My fabulous friend Jenn has made a bunch of these cute bows!

We are selling them for $10 a piece and all proceeds go to supporting the Disability Awareness Scholarship at KC's Family Tae Kwon Do.

For Race, being a part of martial arts and being a member of KC's has strengthened his confidence, friendships, social awareness, core strength and body awareness dramatically. It has been the best therapy program out there for him in so many ways. There are tons of research articles that discuss the benefits of martial arts for kids with Aspergers and high functioning autism. We are so blessed to have such a great studio in the Verde Valley. Thank you KC's!!

You can purchase a bow on the side bar of my blog, and support autism and other disabilities on a local level.

Thanks so much for your support, and thanks for stopping by :)
