2 months ago, The Joy Exchange officially launched into the world. 📚✨😱

It feels like 1 year and 1 day all at the same time. And in those 8 weeks? YA’LL SHOWED UP for us!

You read it on planes and with your toes in the sand. You highlighted pages. You sent it to friends.

If you haven’t read it, this book is about the joy our friends here at ESP model every single day. It’s about what happens when we slow down and actually delight in the people around us. And it’s about sending that message farther than we could ever take it alone.

So if you’ve read it, shared it, or left a review… THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! And if you haven’t, this is your sign — join us for joy!

HAPPY NATIONAL SIBLINGS DAY! 🎉

Siblings play such a meaningful role in our community—and at ESP, we have a program designed just for them— ESPsibs!

Here’s what our Athens Family Support Coordinator, Brianna Lawrence, shared about what makes ESPsibs so special:

“ESPsibs quickly became something deeply personal to me. There’s something so special about watching these siblings become best friends—having honest conversations about what life looks like, and learning to embrace it together. 💛ESPsibs isn’t just a program… it creates a foundation for lifelong friendships, understanding, and connection.”

This is Abigail. 💛

She is full of joy, gentle, silly, adventurous, and completely one of a kind.

Abigail has autism—and that matters. It shapes how she sees the world and how she moves through it.

But it is only one part of her story.✨

This Autism Awareness Month, we’re celebrating all of who people are!

Because autism is part of Abigail, but it is not all of her.

March is National Disability Awareness Month 💛

More than 1 billion people around the world live with a disability — each one bringing unique gifts, talents, perspectives, and joy that make our communities stronger and brighter.

At ESP, we believe people of all abilities are not only meant to be included — they are meant to lead, create, celebrate, and change the world.

This month, we celebrate the incredible individuals in our community who remind us every day that when everyone belongs, joy multiplies. ✨

HIP HIP HOORAY!

Our CEO Laura Hope Whitaker is a national best seller!💛✨

The Joy Exchange landing on the USA Today Bestseller list is surreal — and we are celebrating BIG.

But the best part isn’t the headline… it’s the reach.

Every new reader means another person discovering the mission of ESP and learning from our friends with disabilities what real, unfiltered joy and true belonging look like.

This story was shaped by 20 years inside the ESP family — from an 18-year-old walking into the original gym to a leader now watching doors swing wide open.

This isn’t a finish line. It’s a confetti-in-the-air, music-turned-up, joy-spreading kind of milestone. And we are so grateful to celebrate it together. 💛🎉
