Acceptance Is Freedom
Off the Cuff This is the first week I haven’t pulled it together or committed ANY time to prepare, plan, research or do ANY solid work toward this weekend’s blogpost until the day of — today, Sunday (the day I post).

ADHD Revealed (My Adult ADHD Diagnosis Story-Part 3)

My Motivation: Peace
My motivation today, and from now on ... "That feeling … for that priceless infinite moment, when I can convincingly and wholly let go, relaxed and unfurled into pure faith that God and the turquoise beneath will hold me up and never let me down.
