Drumroll Please!

You guys are awesome!  In a very short time, 54 entries from 28 people came POURING in.  Thank you for your thoughtfulness and creativity in helping Josiah name his budding new business.   It was extremely difficult to narrow down the list but Josiah’s amazing caregivers were up to the challenge.  I may have sent a few too many text messages to them with lists of names that were continually needing to be tweaked.  Everyone liked different ones so identifying the 3 favorites for Josiah to choose from was a bit of a challenge.

When the finalists were decided, the whisper guided Josiah through the selection process.  It was just after an evening shower, when Josiah usually prefers to head straight to his room.  He had just 4 hours of sleep the night before and walked a few miles that afternoon. Though he was tired, he complied.  Josiah was called over to the counter where he promptly sat down on a stool.   Three index cards were placed in front of him and the names read to him in order.

While that may very well be true, we are powerless to come up with THE name for Josiah’s new business.  After many months creating behind the scenes, this new business venture remains unveiled, all due to lack of a name. 

Josiah and one of his amazing caregivers embarked on this new enterprise about 6 months ago.

The Josiah whisperer shared this business idea with me when Josiah was still in the midst of difficult challenges.  I’m well aware he works miracles with Josiah but from my perspective, this seemed like a stretch, even for him.   We were struggling to get through the days with no painful episodes of aggression/self-injury.   Contemplating a business endeavor at that point was not on my radar.

I should know better than to doubt the whisperer’s wisdom.  He and Josiah have a special connection that defies description.  He speaks and Josiah complies.  Truly remarkable. Read more
