If I were King!

If I were King ... I would buy a beautiful property in Fallbrook, CA because nothing beats San Diego weather and it is close to the ocean which our family loves.

The property would have lots of beautiful trees and enough space for an Organic Garden and bike paths like you see in Yosemite where you can ride bikes, roller-blade, take long walks, etc...

I would start by building a Community Development Center that had a Commercial Kitchen, Classrooms, a beautiful Library, Game Room/Arcade, and a huge Great Room & Dining Hall that Families could come together and have socials and special events ... just like the beautiful Lodge in Yosemite.

A separate Wellness Center that had a 25-meter Salt Water Swimming Pool, Epsom Salt Jacuzzi, Infra-red Sauna, H-BOT, Massage Area, Gym, Sensorsize Room, Racquetball Court, and a Meditation Garden.

An outdoor park like Sports area for Basketball, Soccer, Baseball, and Track & Field ... Country Club meets Special Olympics. BBQ areas with flower gardens and grassy knolls. An outdoor amphitheatre for Special Needs Performances and Fund Raisers.

I would then build a string of for-profit businesses that our kids loved doing and were good at and have them accessible from the outer highway or street.

And I would hire the best educated staff who were also compassionate and caring, offer the best quality education, include an impressive arts program, and plan very special vacation outings for families where they feel comfortable and they can relax and are at ease.

If I were King, I would create a world for special kids, their parents, and siblings and give them all the opportunities that everyone else has. A chance to have fun, learn, excel, and eventually own their own home in a neighborhood that loves and accepts them for who they are.

I would eliminate the day-to-day stress of parents running here for this therapy and running there for that therapy, eliminate all the chaos. I would offer quality on site Day Care & Respite so parents don't go broke and struggle and can't venture anywhere because they can't afford to.

And, whenever they needed help or needed to run an errand, they always knew that their kids were in good hands and were being productive and having fun interacting with others.

That is what I would do if I were King!
