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). Needless to say, this is going to be random and off the cuff. It’s... Continue Reading →
With Gratitude I Want to Recognize My ADHD Supporters ... This post is dedicated to my ADHD support team ... my cast and crew ... the people behind the scenes ... the wind beneath my wings. I really can’t explain the depth of my gratitude to have actually found a collection of people (my ADHD... Continue Reading →
Let Me Start With the Why From one ADHDer to another, I believe we need people in our corner who really “get it.” I know I personally have always found (even before my ADHD was discovered) that everything's better when I have people in my life whom I can trust and who believe in me. Now... Continue Reading →
Before I began working through any of kind treatment plan for managing my ADHD symptoms, I made myself a list of my most bothersome symptoms, so “Future Me” could come back later to review, compare, and — in theory — see drastic progress. Time will tell. Here’s to hoping! Cheers! The 20 Most Annoying Things... Continue Reading →
Being diagnosed with ADHD or any disorder is never on the top of anyone’s to-do list. Yes, I wanted an explanation for so many questions I’ve had about myself and my life; but still, an incurable neurological condition is hardly something anyone ever really … wants. I mean, it’s not like catching a cold. It’s... Continue Reading →
In my last 2 posts, I shared how I’ve been able to look back with hindsight and finally see there were signs and symptoms all along from childhood into adulthood (Part 1) and how my first hands-on, real-world exposure to ADHD (that I knew of) came only once our family began fostering (Part 2). Perhaps my diagnosis would have... Continue Reading →
If you've landed here before reading Part 1 of my ADHD diagnosis story, you might want to step back in time and catch that one before continuing … otherwise, please barrel right ahead! Last “episode,” I shared how, with hindsight, I’m seeing signs throughout my life — symptoms of the ADHD that I had either dismissed... Continue Reading →
Where should I begin? I’m laughing here, because … I really should answer my own question about my adult ADHD diagnosis story with “at birth.” Honestly though, I don’t think the ADHD right in front of my face would have ever been discovered without the particular set of circumstances in my life that led to...

Happy MLK Day! “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” — Martin Luther King Jr. #MLKDay #MotivationMonday
Shakespeare Has My Back Just as good ole Willie (aka, William Shakespeare) originally pointed out in Romeo & Juliet, when all is said and done — a thing is what it is — no matter what you call it. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. -Shakespeare I write from the voice... Continue Reading →
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. That. I’m looking for that. Again and again … and... Continue Reading →
Aloha! 🍍 Howdy! 👋 Nice to meet you 😁 Welcome to my blog! I'm so glad you are here! I was recently diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (aka, ADHD). Awakened by my otherwise unexpected diagnosis of ADHD, I’ve decided to share my intimate mission for dramatic life change. With this blog, I’m hoping to create an inspirational space for those...
