The Reason I Breathe

The Reason I Breathe: My Journey with Autism Against All Odds is about my life raising twins, one of whom is on the Autism Spectrum and the navigating, fumbling, fighting and all the lessons learned that came along with it.

In this book, you will discover how I had to put my ego and fears aside and trust my gut instincts that something alarming was going on with my son Dwight’s development. Taylor, his twin sister, was the sounding alarm for me that my son was not progressing with his language and social skills as she had been. It felt as though Dwight was going silent overnight right before my eyes and distancing himself from the family.

Defying the words of my then husband and his family, I set out on a journey to seek answers and to secure resources and support that my son desperately needed. I was mocked and severely criticized from their father for wanting to find out what was happening to our son, despite that I kept going, and it forever changed the dynamic of our family.

This led me to building my own community of support, this led me to thinking outside the box by writing to politicians in order to secure the proper school placement and resources he needed, this led me to advocating to help other families in need of the same support but above all this led me to a strength and courage that I never knew I had when I left the twins’ father after many years of abuse, humiliation and the destruction of my self-esteem.

After taking a leap of faith and enduring some lean years, I was able to create an environment of love, peace and security for my family and I sat back and watched the twins thrive in our new life.

The Holy Family of Nazareth and the Christian Family Today

In a world where family values are increasingly challenged, this profound work bridges the sacred past and the modern present. The Holy Family of Nazareth and the Christian Family Today delves into the life of the Holy Family of Nazareth – Saint Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and Jesus Christ – offering a richly detailed portrait of their simple life, profound humility, and unwavering faith. By placing the Holy Family within their familial, social, and religious context of their time, the book reveals the human, humble, and poor life they led – a life marked by deep attentiveness to God and steadfast obedience to His divine will.

Through biblical narratives, theological reflections, and historical context, the author demonstrates how the Holy Family’s experiences resonate deeply with our own. Jesus was a man among men, similar to us in everything except sin. His education was not abstract or theoretical but actual and real, shaped by real events like the flight into Egypt, the boy Jesus in the temple, and three decades of quiet family life characterized by His obedience to His parents. These moments provide living proof of a faith-filled upbringing, underscoring how humility and listening to God profoundly influenced His public ministry.

This work is divided into three parts: the daily life and divine calling of the Holy Family, the impact of Jesus’ upbringing on His mission, and the application of their timeless example to the modern challenges faced by Christian families. Whether addressing secularism, fractured faith, or the trials of contemporary life, this book invites families to seek patience, peace, and unity by turning to the Holy Family as a model and guide.

With wisdom and compassion, this timeless book reminds us that the lessons of Nazareth remain as relevant today as ever. Whether you seek to deepen your spiritual understanding or strengthen your family bonds, this work offers an inspiring and practical roadmap for navigating the complexities of life with love, faith, and grace while remaining anchored in divine truths.

By H. E. Bishop Sélim Sayegh, Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

Doketo: The 1960s Story of a Thoroughbred Racehorse

This story is about a thoroughbred racehorse named Doketo, who was owned and trained by the person telling the story. Doketo was a good racehorse, though not exceptional as he might have you believe. However, as the racetrack saying goes, he was better than an empty stall.

Life is like that. Friends and associates may not be exactly what you want, but in a very real sense, they can still be better than an empty stall. Doketo’s eventual owner learned this lesson as a 20-year-old boxer competing in the fiercely contested featherweight division of the 1954 Golden Gloves, where winners qualified for the Pan American Games.

The late veteran boxing judge Billy Oaths believed the young fighter had a strong chance of winning his division. His confidence came from the boxer’s previous bout, a stunning televised victory over a top-ranked U.S. featherweight in the opponent’s hometown just three months earlier. As the young boxer climbed the steps to the ring for his first Golden Gloves match before a large crowd, Billy called out, ‘C’mon, let’s get the ball rolling!’ The boxer, full of confidence, shouted back, ‘Don’t worry, Billy. This won’t last long.’

And it didn’t.

The referee stopped the fight in the first round, awarding a TKO win to the boxer’s opponent. While disappointed, Billy would likely have summed it up with the same racetrack wisdom: his boxer and Doketo were both better than an empty stall.
