Monthly Inspirational thoughts and encouragement
be ampowbrilresary words of encouragement from jayanakadeja
Hello loves don’t be afraid to be an emerald in a world full of diamonds. What does that mean? Well, when you wake up in the morning and you’re wondering if you’re enough, if you have what it takes, if you’ll be the center of something amazing someday, if people would except you for who you are, or if you must be like every other “Perfect” person who seems to be making it in this world. Know that you’re enough, you’re special, your personality may be unique, so will your look, walk, and everything else about you. Your words still have value, your input may still change someone’s life, you still matter and when you least expect it, someday someone will look over all the diamonds in the room because they’re all the same and they’ll be looking for something different, something that stands out, someone not afraid to be just who they are, and the emerald will be you.
About me: What do I think about being a mom? - I think being a mother is one of my greatest roles. It took me a long time to realize that being a mother wasn’t just something I had to do, but it was something that I was blessed to be. I love being able to talk to my children, teach them, watch them grow and being able to be a part of this unconditional love that they give to me. No matter how many hard days I may have they always make sure to find a time to tell me they love me, and their little hugs make all my worries go away.
What do you absolutely love about yourself? - I love my creativity and my heart. I love that I can walk in a room and put together things no one else would think of. I notice the details that no one else would. I love that I can create pretty much anything that I put my mind to, and I even surprise myself sometimes. Lol. I love that I have a big heart. Sometimes it hurts because people tend to try to take advantage but at the end of the day, I always know that I did what I could and most of the time I did it the right way even if it hurt a little. What do you love most to do?- I love crafting and dancing. Crafting is my way out sometimes. My Zen space if you will. It’s therapeutic. I have five children and a husband. So having a hobby helps me to relax my mind and find a peaceful place for a while. When I dance it’s the exact same. It’s also how I express myself.
What does know that you’re AMPOWBRILRESARY help you to do or be? - Being AMPOWBRILRESARY helps me to be all that I can be. It helps me to be able to see what I sometimes can’t see in myself. It’s very easy to wake up and say you’re awesome, powerful, brilliant, resilient and necessary but if you don’t really believe it to be true then they are just words. When you truly believe it, there’s noting that can stop you. Who do I say that I am? - I am beautiful, Smart, understanding, understood and rich in more ways than one. I am a full believer, a wonderful proud mother and happily married. I am a successful businesswoman. I am a college student, and soon to be Bestselling author. I am to be continued because I am working on doing and being more. I am Jayanakadeja Erazo. Woman of Faith and all. My faith has me in awe and because of my faith I have all. I am the emerald in a world full of diamonds. My book:What’s it about? - My book is about my seven steps to getting my son to where he is today. There are no guidelines to follow when you find out that you have a child with Autism. For the most part you’re given a few pointers and then you’re on your own to figure it out for yourself. Well, this is what I did to make sure that my son would be more than the doctors said that he would be, and I wanted to share those with other parent’s or guardians so that they can have something to help them on this journey of life. It gives inspirations, encouragement, support and Acceptance. Everything that AutismMAMA and Sensory This stands for. What is one high and low about being a mother to a child with Autism? - One high to being a mother with a child that has Autism is knowing that you’re you always putting your best in hand all the time. Meaning that you’re always going to be giving your all to make sure that your child has all that they need. You’re always going to be learning something new so it’s like a never-ending life lesson which helps you and your child to grow.- One low is that there’s always going to be bad days here and there. You may feel like a failure sometimes and you may want to give up. But you can’t. Your child can’t get to where they need to be if you don’t push them to be the best that they can be. What do you say to someone that sees the Autistic signs in their child but they’re afraid to face reality? - Acceptance is always the key love. If you can’t accept the fact that you have a child with autism and that you need to put all your denial and fear aside so that your child can be the best that they can be then they will always stay that way. It won’t get better as time goes on. It will only get worse and by the time you decide to start getting them the help that they need it will be extremely hard to get them out of their ways. The earlier you start the work the better. Not only for them but for you as well. Once you’ve accepted your situation then you’ll be able to communicate with your child, understand their behaviors and what once was “They are just so bad!” will become “Oh my goodness, I see it now.” It will be less stressful for you both and your journey to becoming the best both of you can be will begin.
