I've been meaning to make this post for quite some time now...

THANK YOU to all of you who have created the CCM list and this board! You have been such a positive in my life over the past few years. In fact, when I first ran into the CCM board, I was contemplating leaving the faith. This community, and my wonderful dh, have been fundamental in my learning the truth about Catholicism and learning and passing the faith on to my children.

I'd also like to add a very heartfelt appreciation to those of you who contributed to the book "Real Learning". I've long put off buying it and had to try a few times once I decided to purchase (had ordering troubles). Elizabeth, your book has shown me the keys to teaching my autistic son how to understand the concept of a story and to enjoy books again! For the life of me, I could not figure out how to get him to give a narration - every attempt led to a dead end. Picture narrations would lead to him drawing a picture of one of the words or character names. Acting it out would lead to rote memorization of phrases that he liked. Elizabeth, you showed me the missing links. We are now enjoying and learning from books again! It's far from fluid but it's coming together!

Please know that I keep all of you in my daily prayers and add all intentions posted here to my own. I am so grateful for all you have taught me and am humbled by your giving natures.

Forever grateful,

Awesome, Taffy! Thanks for contributing to this community and for the

.

I'm going to add another thank you from my sister. She talked with me recently to have me listen to a post for her local TORCH yahoolist she was writing about Realing Learning. The post was glowing and so heartfelt! Interestingly, at the same time her post went through, another post went through also referring members to 4Real! Just like my sister, I bet there are many moms, especially those with littles who don't get to the computer often, who would like to say thanks because they are blessed by your book, Elizabeth, and by this 4Real/CCM community

...a cheering thought when one is feeling

.

Love,
