"Life in the Asperger's Jungle" with Raven Joy
I am very happy to announce that I recently published our first Divine Inspirations full monthly podcast on Anchor https://anchor.fm/divine-inspirations/episodes/Life-in-the-Aspergers-Jungle-with-Raven-Joy-e3pp3c with my friend Raven Joy.
Raven Joy and I met up briefly when I was living in Volcano Hawaii. It has been about 13 years since then and fortunately, we have remained in contact.
When I launched my first Divine Inspirations blog she responded to subscribe, which gave me the lead to ask her if I might interview her for a podcast. I knew that she had a publishing company when she was in Hawaii and wrote a book and I was interested in discussing both the publishing company and her book, but she had also recently returned to her home in Pahoa after a plight of surviving through Madame Pele's (Hawaii's volcanic transformation). We felt we should talk and find out what would be the best subject to discuss.
Indeed, there was a lengthy discourse of the Volcanic event, as Raven Joy was one of the many who was displaced during the ordeal. That story in itself was tremendous, but when we started to talk about her book it became too intriguing for me as it was an artistic creation that sprang forth from her determined spirit to retrieve her identity.
The reclamation of identity has been a very strong aspect within my own life as a multiracial woman whose strongest origins of identity are Indigenous. I identify or rather have Sympatico towards anyone who is on that quest for inner and personal recovery.
Luckily our conversation through the interview was directed towards the subject of Autism acceptance, as synchronistically the conversation was held during the month of April 2019 designated as Autism Acceptance month.
There is an entire world of Autistic information and support that is veiled from most of us unless we look for it and unfortunately that goes for many quietly discussed issues and concerns within our social and even educated world. Here is a link to the autism acceptance month's website: https://www.autismacceptancemonth.com/ where we can search for information and interesting articles.

I pray we might take advantage of the energy of this time (the mental power of Aries) to reflect upon many of the obscure details that seem to fall into the cracks yet are in plain sight in our world that if only when we make the effort will we realize what can be exposed to help us to live in a more balanced and peaceful place.
