BEST ME for MY3

The little things in life that help encourage me to keep going, there is a greater, beautiful purpose to what sometimes feels like madness :P

Genuine transformation isn’t just about what happens in a moment—it’s about what continues to grow. 🌱

Powerful encounters with God are beautiful, but the true test of transformation is what remains after the emotion fades.

Let’s be people who plant deep roots, not just chase spiritual highs.

The best part (yes there is one) of spending $790 on tooth extraction and being told the replacement for each tooth extracted is $6000 each lol ... was that for the hour and a half they were working on me, Cece Winans was playing in the background as my 2 teeth were being extracted. I was able to sing to my God in my head, I was able to pray and I was able to pray specifically for the dentist and the assistant and believing that the music they'd let me choose would minister to them 😛

Bravique is going through some exciting changes as we align more closely with our family’s current needs and God-given direction. With our non-speaking autistic son Sammy now learning from home full-time, we’ve stepped away from running our previous Out of School Care programmes.

Bravique is shifting its focus toward creating meaningful, faith-filled resources to support the brave parents and educators raising and teaching beautifully unique minds and hearts. While we’re still in the early stages of this transition, resources will gradually be added over time as we build, trial, and refine them from our lived experience.

We’re also still offering limited 1:1 respite support, and we’re partnering with some incredible families to develop a co-operative OSCAR model called FlexiHub — a flexible, inclusive support space for neurodiverse children. More information on this will be shared as it evolves!

Thank you for continuing to journey with us. Bravique may look a little different now, but our heart remains the same — to honour and equip the brave ones doing life differently.

Blessings from our famz to yours

The more I learn about AI, the more I recognise how lazy people are -I’ve paid thousands of dollars for a course and can see it is a copy-and-paste with AI audio - but I have to do this course work with an approved provider before I can sit the international certification exam ...

I'll be selling this same course in the next couple of years - I'll thank God for all those that will do my course lol - it will be a lot more interesting, interactive and easy to understand.

I'm not afraid of AI, I do use it for some tasks, but it's no excuse for us to be lazy and not use our God-given gifts—minds and hearts—to bring excellence to this world.

Yes - I used AI to produce the pic 😛 but it followed my lead, my ideas, my message :P

Happy Mother’s Day, beautiful autism mum.

Do you sometimes scroll past those “perfect” Mother's Days posts and wonder if anyone sees your version of motherhood?

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come."
— Proverbs 31:25 (NIV)

Today might not look like a slow breakfast in bed, a day off, or a Pinterest-worthy moment. Maybe you’re still running on two hours sleep.
Maybe your child doesn’t know what today means, or can’t say “I love you” with words. Maybe the meltdown started before you could open a card.

But here’s what I want you to hear:
You are doing the impossible every day.
You are doing all the usual mum stuff—packing lunches, cleaning messes, listening to sibling squabbles—and on top of that, you’re managing therapies, decoding behaviours, filling out funding forms, calming storms, and navigating an entire world on your child’s behalf.

You are seen. Not just for the big, brave moments—but for every quiet decision to show up with love when you feel like collapsing. God sees it all. And He celebrates you today.

You might not get the recognition the world gives other mums—but Heaven sees you as a warrior in worship, a mum who loves like Jesus: relentlessly, sacrificially, beautifully.

To the mum holding it together for her child with extra needs...
To the mum doing it alone…
To the mum whose child can’t say “Happy Mother’s Day,” but shows love in other ways…
To the mum grieving the dreams she thought motherhood would look like…
To the mum holding hope for tiny steps of progress…
You are not forgotten. You are loved. You are doing enough.

To every mum in the trenches today—Happy Mother’s Day. You are a walking miracle. There is beauty even here. And yes—there are Miracles in the Meltdowns.

Lord, thank You for every mother who’s reading this right now—especially the ones who feel like they’re barely holding it together. Today, meet her in the middle of her mess. Remind her that You see the parts no one claps for. Remind her that her love is enough. Give her moments of grace today, and if not rest—then laughter. If not perfection—then peace. Amen

There’s a reason you thought of her.
💛 This might be the most meaningful gift she’ll receive this Mother’s Day.

He wasn’t happy hearing the word hospital 🏥 this morning - but we put something he’d look forward to in the mix …
“Shower - Hospital - Mitre10” (Mitre10 also means he gets a new truck and milkshake 😎🙌🏽)

Supposed to have a hospital appointment, but no car parks after driving around for ages - I had gone ahead to Suss things out so that Sammy didn’t have to wait, as we know that’s just asking for a meltdown. We rescheduled - after they had rescheduled our appointment 5 times already!!

Had to keep the promise of Mitre10.

I went ahead to order food so that there wasn’t any waiting and also so his fries could cool down - hot food can also bring on meltdowns.

I had been waiting a good 20 minutes with food on the table for Sam and Sammy. They turned up, but I had forgotten that Sammy would want to sit at the same table he always does 🤓, so we had to move all our food to his “usual” table.
Autism awareness … not “precious-parenting,” this is autism parenting and trying to keep peace for all of us … and the public spaces we enter 😂

She makes it look easy, but you know it isn’t.
Let her know you see the strength behind her smile.

Goodness - not easy making everyone happy - stop-starting ... kids telling me all good mum - it can be edited ... I'm like ... ummmm I'm not sitting around editing—I've got other things to do ... it is what it is ... a few takes ... and this is what it is. 😛
Might do another take later ... but for now, this will have to do ... Zeneth, when we are organised enough, we'll get you to come do a more professional job for us. 😛
