What's going on at HolyOak Whips?

A collection of my whips that are going out as well as related videos and articles that I think are interesting.

about me

gift from a stranger...

A few weeks ago I posted a short introduction of my daughter K.  I spoke about how she has autism and how the money from my whips go to help pay for her treatments. 

Since then, I have received quite a few emails and facebook messages from people who just wanted me to know that they have a child, nephew or next door neighbor who is on the spectrum and they get what I am going through.  I've made some new friends because of it.  I already knew that people in the autism community were wonderful as well as the people I have met in the whip community.  I have learned that there are many of us who use our practice time with the whips as our therapy and to get a moment of personal space that has nothing to do with our worries.  Its beautiful, really.

I just went to get the mail and I found this note and money in my box.  It doesn't have a return address and it isn't signed.  Based only on the post mark, I suspect it is from someone who has purchased a whip from me in the past. 

I'm just setting here with grateful tears rolling down my face.  I'm so touched and overwhelmed that a stranger would reach out and do this for me.  The kindness of people in this world just amazes me.

To the person who gave me this gift. The only thing I know about you is you have a generous heart the size of Texas and that you read this blog from time to time.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!  I will do as you suggest and treat myself to something just for me.  I think you already know that is the hardest thing to do when you are a care giver.  I do hope you let me know your identity one day... until then I trust that you will see this and know how much it means to me.  xox
