Did You Ever Think You Were Destined For Something?
After church last Sunday my wife and I met a couple who have a three-year-old son with autism and cerebral palsy, and a daughter with Asberger's Syndrome. A mutual friend introduced us because she'd heard of people using horseback riding as therapy for autism, and we own horses. Afterward I phoned a woman with whom I used to work ten years ago to get as much information as I could to help this couple: she has a ten-year-old son with autism.
In June I did a show for a Bar Mitzvah party for a 15-year-old boy who has autism. The parents were so happy with the show that they recommended me to the Foothill Autism Association for their holiday party.
The ranch near Bishop, CA from which we bought my wife's horse is near another ranch that used to offer riding therapy for people with autism.
This seems like a lot of coincidences; almost too many to be coincidental.
We'll see.

Noble cause. You will do what your purpose dictates. I have a nephew who is autistic. Very difficult. He can tell you the name, playwrite and director of every movie but he can't balance a check book or finish a novel. Very interesting malady.

Yes, autism is very strange. I have a friends who has that. He remembers everything from our childhood but has problem with schoolwork. Anyways, got a little off-topic there. Even thought I convince myself that no one has a destiny, somewhere inside, I believe that everyone has one when they're born. My great uncle saw my mom's future when she was a little girl and everything turned out exactly as he predicted.

There is a place in San Juan Capistrano called The J.F. Shea Therapeutic Riding Center. http://www.sheacenter.org/
(Formerly known as the Fran Joswick Therapeutic Riding Center)
From their web site: "As the birthplace of the Fran Joswick Therapeutic Riding Program, the Shea Center will mark its 25th Anniversary in 2003 with 225 riders per week (and a three-month waiting list), 26 horses, and 200 weekly volunteers.
The youngest client is two years old and the oldest is over 80. Seventy percent of all clients are under the age of 21."
It's really an amazing place!
Anyway, they have a BBQ/picnic fundraiser every year that we try to go to.
Which happens to be today!! How's that for destiny!!
