I grew up the second born of a couple that only wanted one child.  This made for some interesting times as a child.  I believe that the Lord has given me this ministry because I can so readily identify with the children we help.

I grew up severely dyslexic, attachment disordered, sensory integration issues, ADHD and severly asthmatic.  At the age of 2 my allergies were so bad that I was allergic to my own hair.  I never let this stop me.

Through God's grace and healing and with much determination I live a very normal life.  My dyslexia only affects me when I am tired.  I am very attached to my husband, kids and friends.  My system no longer shorts out when too much stimulus is part of my environment.  My ADHD is gone and my allergies only bother me on occasion.

I am a living testimony of God's grace and direction.  With 4 kids, 7 horses, 2 cats and 1 dog you would think it would be enough to short anyone's system out, but thankfully His provision and protection cover me on a daily basis. 

If you want more information on RAD, you should listen to the MP3 recordings of my Oct 2005 Seminar.  With solid facts on the therapies and solutions that are available to parents, I share through my personal experience, professional experience and educational knowledge.  My seminar is available on MP3 CD for $10 by emailing me at marie@shalomranch.org. 

Our ranch, Lord willing, will be open for people to come summer 2006.  My heart is open now.  Please email me if you want an understanding ear and a strong shoulder. 

Shalom B'Shem Yeshua,
