About Me:

I have a degree in paralegal studies and I am also a licensed and ordained pastor / counselor. I currently offer no cost and low cost legal services to those that qualify. I am a legal advocate focusing on men, women and children of abuse, the elderly and also children with learning disabilities.
I am a certified home teacher with 'The Winds of G.R.A.C.E' Learning Place and I am currently teaching children with autism and autism related disabilities as well as children with seizure disorders. We offer hands on intensive teaching therapy and curriculum geared towards the individual needs of the child and not the traditional state required guidelines. We also do not impose any state related sanctions upon those children who need our services.
In the fall of 2007 My granddaughter Grace was diagnosed as moderately autistic with a seizure disorder. Late that year I started an intensive hands on therapy with her in order to alter the way her brain was causing her to respond to outside influences. Today she is 4 and much advanced over most children her age. Except for a mild speech delay she has with much intensive, loving and gentle intervention overcome the majority of the disability that once was her sentence.

What is Autism?

Autism is a devastating neurological and biological disorder that typically affects children between the ages in 18 months to five years of age. Autism currently affects 1 in every 150 children born today. It is estimated there are over 1 million people in the United States alone with autism. Autism affects each individual differently and at different levels of severity. Some people with autism are severely affected, cannot speak, require constant one-on-one care, and are never able to live independently. While others who have less severe symptoms, can communicate, and eventually acquire the necessary skills to live on their own.

I am a published author and I write inspirational stories, poetry and short devotionals of encouragement for the people that truly wish to hear God in those 'simplistic' ways or just need a sweet word of support!
During a normal playtime with my young granddaughter I was given revelation of God’s Word put in such a “childlike” manner that even a young one could comprehend it with great understanding and knowledge.

About The Book

"The Wind Carries His Whisper," is a 31 day devotional written in a very 'common sense' easy to understand and grasp approach to the Word of God.
Many times we are so preoccupied with hearing the voice of the Lord that we waste countless hours waiting for the loud rush of His voice when in all actuality all we have to do is be very receptive of even His faintest whisper.
50% of all the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to various children help organizations! Those which are involved in autism support and research are near and dear to my heart! Freely you receive, freely you give!
Love and Hugs, CeCeJo
