To the writer creating in the quiet spaces today...

Writing about disability, neurodiversity, or the deep, unpolished seasons of faith isn't like writing ordinary fiction. It requires you to dig into your real life, your real struggles, and your deepest vulnerabilities.

Sometimes, you stare at the blinking cursor and wonder if your words even matter.

Please know that they do.

Somewhere out there, a parent is looking for a book that proves their child is seen. Somewhere, a believer navigating an unexpected diagnosis is praying for words that bridge the gap between their reality and God’s love.

When you write inclusive, faith-filled, and honest stories, you are building a sanctuary for someone else’s heart. You are reminding them that they belong, that they are loved, and that they are not alone.

Don't close the laptop. Don't put down the pen. Your voice has a divine purpose, and the world needs the stories that only you can tell.

Let's encourage each other today: If you are a writer working on a project close to your heart, drop an emoji below to let us know you're typing away. What is the core message of the story you're trying to tell?

He watched the world from the window.
Until the world saw him.

A story about a rabbit with autism — and the magic of being understood.

Young boys like my son may sit by the window for hours.

Not because something was wrong with him. Because the world outside felt safer to watch than to join.

That's how "The Rabbit in the Window" was born — a picture book about a little rabbit with autism who experiences the world differently, and the people who love him exactly as he is.

It's the book I wish I'd had when Richie was small.
It's the book I hope every classroom keeps on its shelf.
It's the book that says: different is not less.

Perfect for families, therapists, teachers, and anyone who believes in inclusion.

Give a child the gift of seeing themselves in a story. đź’ś

“Does God hear my nonspeaking child?”

I asked that every single night after tucking in my son Richie. He has autism and doesn’t speak.

Then I realized: He was praying too. With his heart, not his words.

I wrote *God, Can You Hear My Nonspeaking Voice?* for every parent who’s wondered if God hears their child.

The answer is YES. Always has been.

This book shows families how nonspeaking kids connect with God — and includes a prayer guide you can use tonight.

For the child who prays differently. For the parent who needs hope.

How you can help people with ADHD without working too hard.

How you can help people with ADHD without working too hard.

They didn't study ADHD, just paid attention to me, and that's what made all the difference. đź’™

The ADHD brain is profoundly sensitive to how people show up, and whether someone creates safety or pressure, patience or urgency, those small relational choices shape whether the brain can actually function.

This Mental Health Month, send this to the person in your life who just gets it, even when they don't have words for what they're doing. đź’š
