June 20, 2022 Ep 53. One Minute Monday: Patience - When Traditional Timelines Don't Accurately Measure Development
This One Minute Monday is about patience. Traditional timelines don't accurately measure developmental milestones - at least not for all children.

June 14, 2022 Ep 52. One Minute Monday: Being Delayed - Delay Is Not Denied
This One Minute Monday is about being delayed. After traveling several days for business I found myself delayed, stranded, and delayed again. Sometimes the road to our destination presents unforeseen challenges; but a delay is not an automatic denial. Listen to 60 seconds of Being Rare!

May 16, 2022 Ep 48. One Minute Mondays: Shared Spaces - There's Enough Room For Us All
In this One Minute Monday Sarita talks about shared spaces. Many of us started foundations, podcasts, and blogs because we needed or noticed something missing. In that, this spirit of competitiveness [sometimes] arises creating silent discord among the community - a community otherwise in alignment. The rare space, and any space, can be welcoming and full of love when you go in giving that which you're looking to receive. Listen to 60 seconds of Being Rare: Shared Spaces.

May 09, 2022 Ep 47. One Minute Monday: Trust - Learning How to Trust Those Responsible For Your Nonverbal Child
In this One Minute Monday Sarita talks about trust. Five days a week we send our children to school to be supervised by someone we don't know. They come home talking about their day; all except Elijah. Elijah is small, has limited mobility, and is nonverbal. Because he can't tell us about his day, we have to trust the system and the people responsible for him. Listen to 60 seconds of Being Rare: Trust.
