Summer for Locals

Dear Friends,

It is after Labor Day, also known as the beginning of summer for locals. I love this time! All the warm and long days of summer, but not the summer crowds. And the anticipation of autumn! I love it.

Tara is back from her internship, and it seems she will be ready to start working as a registered Spelling to Communicate practitioner soon. I am so very proud of her, and I am a bit biased, but I think she is a very special CRP (Communication and Regulation Partner) and will be a very special practitioner. I am so glad other nonspeakers will get to work with her! And though I worry a bit about her having time for me, I know that I am her priority and I know she will always make time for me. This is a big step toward some of our big schemes for the future!

I also had a time of learning while she was gone. Our mom and I made a breakthrough in our communication! We were able to chat openly for the first time, with a lot of time and effort put into working up to it over months and years. I am so thrilled! I am so proud of us.

September will be a time of settling into the new. Tara’s career shift, me expanding my number of open CRPs, and enjoying the end of summer while planning big things for autumn and beyond. I am so absolutely looking forward to it!

Your Friend,

Danny
