IM Dauntless has released a new book! The individual stories in this book are precious- shining a light on both the challenges and beauty that are found in celebrating and navigating the lives of those with special needs. It takes courage to share your story and I love how Blossoms of My Life gave each of these precious families the freedom and opportunity to share their journey in their own words.  

Ramona Trevino (IM Dauntless) is an inspiring and compassionate woman of God! Her faith is contagious and her love for people spills into all that she does. I count it a privilege to know her as a friend and I am thrilled to introduce this book.

This book is available for purchase at amazon.com or you can attend her upcoming launch party in Hollister, CA . The launch party will give you an opportunity to meet some of the families. 

Please enjoy the following opening excerpt...

​​I have the wonderful opportunity of introducing you to several of these families, in my new book; Blossom's of my Life.
Most of the families I have had the honor of working with to ensure their children with special needs were receiving the best education, I could possibly deliver.
Families of whom I have been able to watch their children learn and develop academically, socially and emotionally over periods of 1-10 years.
What an honor to be trusted with their children! 
Each child is introduced in their very own chapter in this book. 
Each chapter is written by a mother.
It is my hope that each of their stories will open hearts and bring forth their dauntless, loving, unselfish and remarkable journeys.
The meaning of my title:
The definition of Blossom is: 1. a flower or cluster
of flowers; 2. the condition or time of flowering.
This amazed me as I realized the significance of the
story I was about to write. You see, each of us will have a
time of flowering.  Some take a little longer than others,
but, we each long to flower into a purposeful life.
Regenerated came up a lot in my search. This word
means rebirth. As a Christian, our rebirth is distinguished
from our first birth when we were born physically. The new
birth is a spiritual, holy birth that results in our being made
alive spiritually. It simply means a new birth, a new
beginning, a new order.
Who am I?  I am a teacher, one with a new heart, a true heart to care
and love and nurture my special needs students.. I am the person who God is trusting
to care for their angels.
There are some who approach me and ask, “How do you do
it? I don’t think I could have the patience.”
My reply: “How can I not?”
