Congrats to our Voice4u Giveaway winner!

Our dear friend and writer here at 5 Minutes for Special Needs, Anissa Mayhew, recently suffered a stroke. We are praying and sending our love to Anissa, her three children, husband and family.

Welcome To Beyond Ordinary!

BYO

As parents of children with special needs, we face so many unique issues — there are challenges and triumphs, tears and joys. Come share these moments of your lives with with us!

Note: Beyond Ordinary has been changed from meme/blog carnival format to standard post format. You can still join in by leaving a comment!

Do you ever wish that you had a place where you could share your heart and be understood by people who have 'been there'? Then Beyond Ordinary is the place for you! Meet Michelle from In The Life of a Child here on the first Thursday of each month to share a story, a special moment, a heavy heart, a triumph. Together we can encourage and inspire each other through our shared laughter and tears to continue to be the extraordinary parents that our beautiful children deserve.

How do you participate? It's easy!

On the first Friday of each month, Michelle will share a Beyond Ordinary post here at 5MFSN. To join in simply:

Share your thoughts or stories in the comments section of Michelle's post. You can even write a post on your blog about something that matters to you or your family, or find one in your archives and leave a link to it in the comments section or Michelle's post. It can be funny, sad, light-hearted or thought-provoking. If it matters to you, it matters to us.

Together we can find inspiration and joy in today — and courage for tomorrow. See you here on the first Friday of each month!
