opening the door to many hearts... beautiful christian movie about seeing people with special needs, not as special needs people

The Open Door (2017) | Full Movie | William Aird | Curt Backlund | William Beglinger Sam is a young man with special needs. A family tragedy forces Sam to leave his home and move in with his sister Madison. Sam and Madison are less than happy...

I created this page for the moms / dads, family member, care giver who have a child (young / adult) who have a developmental disability, whether its neurological, emotional, mental.... we wear many hats, we have worn many shoes in different sizes to work it, to get what needed, to do what has to get done.

When I'm at the crossroads to make a decision, I always ask myself if this were me, how would I want to be treated, for what needs to be done for their best interest....This page provides you the support, the resources for your need.
If we dont have knowledge of where to turn for what needed at that moment, it can be a breaking point to feel broken, lost, alone.... we are never alone as I have come to experience.
Many of our children have autism who may not have a voice to be heard, but we learn to understand them thru their needs, wants, their body language.
I was fortunate to work with students who learning disability was of autism, so it provided me the opportunity to learn how to communicate, to understand, to help the student feel validated.
I will say, I know for many families it very difficult behind close doors when their child act out their frustration in negative behavior of such anger.
Not wearing the shoes of your experience cant understand but someone offering you compassion, empathy, does help lesser the aloneness feeling you feel.

As a friend who does not wear the shoes of life I have worn replies when I said; god gives us what we can handle, I wish he would stop...she replied; he must think your a bad ass because your still here doing what has to be done.

Life is about creating healthier choices to be a healthier happier you!

Let's Talk!

Stuffed crust pizza made with homemade dairy-free Mozzarella cheese? ABSOLUTELY. This phenomenal plant-based Mozzarella pizza will up your pizza and game! Recipe & photo by: Sculptedkitchen

Dairy free mozzarella:
🍕 1 cup of cashews.
🍕 1 T of lemon juice, fresh
🍕 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
🍕 2 tsp agar powder
🍕 2 T of tapioca powder
🍕 1 tsp of onion powder, 1 tsp of garlic powder, and other spices I have around the kitchen like vegetable cubes (organic)
🍕 2 T of melted coconut oil
🍕 1 cup water

Blend all the ingredients in a blender, scrapping down the sides.
Place the thick liquid inside a pot, and simmer and stir continuously until thickened. About 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Pizza crust:
Ingredients
🍕 3 cups flour
🍕 2 1/4 tsp of active yeast
🍕 1 T of coconut sugar
🍕 3/4 teaspoon salt
🍕 1 tsp of onion powder, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of dried Italian seasoning. 1 T of vegetable stock seasoning
🍕 2 Tablespoons olive oil
🍕 1 cup of warm water

Method:
1. Add your yeast to the warm water. Then add sugar. Stir briefly and then leave in a warm place. We left ours unopened in the sun rays inside.
2. Add all your remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Add olive oil and your yeast mixture. Add more flour if too runny or add more water if too doughy. Usually I need to add a bit of flour.
4. Roll out your dough.
5. Keeping an inch away from the dough’s edge, line the circle with the cheese.
6. Fold the inch you left around the border onwards around the cheese, taking care to tuck or fork it into the crust.
7. Place marinara sauce and your toppings and the remaining cheese on top and bake at 350F for 20 mins.
