Mom trying to help my son see his gifts

Dear Dr. Rob,
I have just stumbled upon your web site just in a time when I needed too. I have been having an awakening this year, and have been working on living my life in truth and love, practicing your teachings every day. I am new, but see things that I have never seen before. But I am writing to you because of my son. I am a widow of 8 years now, raising my wonderful, loving, gifted son who has Aspergers, and has been told is Indiego, on my own, and I am so proud to say he graduated with high honors and will be going to ESF this fall to study his environment this fall! Throughout his life Joe has lived the life we are trying to live, with pure heart, truth and love. He has always had a passion for his world and making a difference, until of lately and I am concerned.

Although his school mates were good to him, he really only has about 2 very good friends, and now that summer is here, he finds himself without them, has become depressed, and has gotten obsessed with people in the chat rooms. I do monitor who he is talking with, he is on it all day and night. He has lost that “gleam” in his eye, and his passion for what I belive is his calling. We had a long emotional talk last night, and he admits he does not like who he is becoming. I feel somewhat responsible because I had to take on a new job last year, and I am working 50 hrs a week instead of 30. It makes a difference to not be around him, but I have no choice right now. I pray and meditate everyday, and try to remain positive, and know that I am where I am for now.

I guess what I am asking is if you can suggest any clubs or organizations that my son can get involved with to get him back to the truth. He loves people, children, elderly, all walks, he loves to talk politics and environment, history and his faith. We both have helped at the Samaritan Center, and he was great at that. There are no summer jobs for him, but I want him to go where his mind, body and soul can be expanded. He is such a sweet and loving soul, he has taught me so much, and has sent me on my path, I need him to get back to his.

I don’t know if you can help us, but I do enjoy your page and will put you in my daily life. I hope we can meet you someday. Thanks for reading my story.
Have a great weekend!

Words of wisdom, “Don’t we all?”

One evening I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car. I had just come from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work. Coming my way from across the parking lot was, what society would consider, a bum. From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money. There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don’t want to be bothered. This was one of the “don’t want to be bothered” times.

“I hope he doesn’t ask me for money,” I thought.  He didn’t.  He came and sat on the curb in front of the bus stop and he didn’t look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus.  After a few minutes he spoke.  “That’s a very nice car,” he said.  He was ragged but had an air of dignity around him.

A lesson in dignity

Everyday as I drove through town, I saw a one-legged man going through ash cans for cigarette butts and trash cans outside of fast food restaurants looking for food.  It was only a month before Christmas, starting to get cold (I lived in a town that was over 6,000 ft. altitude) and I could not quit thinking about him.  It was a year where we didn’t have enough money to really have much in the way of presents but I figured what was too little for us would be a lot for someone who had nothing.

So I bought a brush, toothbrush, toothpaste, pack of cigarettes, cans of tuna, just little things that didn’t cost much and then I added a blanket and sweatshirts.  I made a box up like a present and went in search of this man.  I saw him hobble away from the dumpster next to McDonalds. Read more

Angels masquerading as humans

During each of our journeys, there are those inevitable moments when someone comes into our life at precisely the right time and says or does precisely the right thing. Their words or actions may help us perceive ourselves more clearly, remind us that everything will turn out for the best, help us cope, or see us through difficult situations. These people are human angels – individuals designated by the universe to be of service to those in need at specific points in time. Some human angels make a commitment before their births to make a positive contribution to the world at a particular moment. Others were chosen by the universe. All human angels, however, come into our lives when we least expect them and when we can most benefit from their presence. Read more
