Life Outside the Box

When the world strives to conform....we strive to be ourselves!! What does that mean? Well, most may think it is a means to push buttons, to buck the trend, to defy, to have an agenda, to be purposely opposite the norm. Why, when one strives to be authentic, unique, or independent in their thinking do others feel the need to classify that as defiant? Why is uniqueness paired with a questioning of morality? Why are differences so violently rejected? Disability, gender non-conformity, social delays, sensitivity, anxiety, perfectionism...a litany of uniqueness that make up our RAINBOWS...do these unique aspects of their personalities make them or us less worthy of respect...do they warrant silent disapproval...is judgement by another just?

My mind is occupied by these thoughts on a daily basis...Why? Because, I was given a gift...an amazing life changing gift! The gift of parenting two wonderfully unique, talented, fabulous boys! They are our RAINBOWS, always on the move, always evolving, always showing us the light....and this is our journey in catching them...our journey in living Life Outside the Box!!
