Quote:  "You cannot connect the dots looking forward.  You can only connect them by looking back, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow will connect in the future."    What an amazing discussion we had today with Criss Madrigal, mother of 3, a coach, and has a huge heart for moms with what she calls "invisible disabilities."  Criss shared her favorite quote by Steve Jobs,  "You cannot connect the dots looking forward.  You can only connect them by looking back, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow will connect in the future."   For her this quote helped to explain things that had happened in her life, and specifically in parenthood.  Cris has twin daughters that have "22Q Deletion Syndrome" which is known as one of the most common syndromes that nobody has heard of, because it follows the characteristics of Down Syndrome, yet because it manifests itself in so many ways, it is very difficult to diagnose.   Criss and her husband have gone "all in" in providing various therapies for their daughter, and all the "dots" connected when they stepped out in faith, yet not knowing where the tens of thousands of dollars would come from to pay for these therapies.  But, the money has alway come in, somehow!  Because of the unique and "invisible disabilities of her daughters, she has always been an advocate in partnering with the girls' teachers, and has created this Questionnaire template to help teachers know more about them, how they learn best, strengths, weaknesses, etc. and she wants to make this template available to YOU, our listeners!   You can connect with Criss in her FREE facebook community that is absolutely INCREDIBLE! or on Instagram @crissmadrigal   Also, grab her Meet My Child School Blueprint here!    Do you know of someone that could use this template?
