Praise Through It Together - Exceptional Mothering with Robin Eaton
08/13/21 • 42 min
Is there anyone in your life you've watched and thought, "That is a beautiful human." That's Robin Eaton for me. I've known her for 7 years and I've learned *so* much from her personal and professional stories and experiences.
In today's conversation, Robin talks about parenting a child with exceptional needs. She talks about the challenges she and her family faced, but way more than that - she talks about the gift that Sam is and the gifts he's brought to the world.
Robin Eaton is a woman on the go... You can see her as a wife, mother, educator, or someone who enjoys staying active. But each area is a full time focus. She served as a classroom teacher for fifteen years & has spent the past eight years as a school wide technology facilitator ensuring students and staff success in a digital world. She believes in empowering learners of all ages. Her passion for children and education can be seen with her own two; a 20 year old daughter in college and a 17 year old son with exceptional needs. Her husband is a firefighter whose long shifts have always ensured she is prepped to handle any personal situation on her own. Robin also has two golden retrievers and she has just become a Gigi, or golden grandma. She enjoys cooking, kayaking, being on the beach, recently started running, and has a hard time saying no to a nap.
She talks about Tim Tebow's Night to Shine Prom, linked here.

Monday Blessing || A Year From Now
For Summer 2021, Monday mornings will be for blessings - short, soulful meditations to start your week. The idea of speaking blessings is inspired from a 2013 sermon series, To Love Life and See Good Days, from Manna Church in Fayetteville, NC. When we speak blessings over ourselves and over others, we are mirroring what God has done to build hope, confidence, joy, justice, and truth in his people for generations. The tongue has the power of life and death; this is one way we use the power of life.
After you listen to the blessing, try speaking it aloud. Insert "I" instead of "you". Then, consider speaking it over someone in your life who could use a blessing today.
If you want these in your email to read the blessing a week or two before it's released here, sign up here. You'll hear from me on Monday mornings & the 1st of every month with encouraging notes for your daily life.
