Whoops! Guess who forgot to upload the fortnightly blog article on time? That would be this ADHDer right here. I’ve been super busy over the last two weeks (figures, after I wrote a blog article about taking time to slow down in Autumn, right?).

Most people wait until New Year’s Eve to make grand resolutions. They set goals with fireworks and champagne, determined to change everything overnight. But honestly? I think life is too short for that kind of pressure. For me, it isn’t about years—it’s about seasons. And by seasons, I don’t just mean spring, summer, fall, and winter (though they matter too). I mean the seasons of […]

This Saturday I will be 37, which means I’ve been knowing living with ADHD for twenty-seven years and what a journey it’s been! If you’d have asked little ten-year-old me or even 15-year-old me that I would be running an educational website on what it is to live with ADHD that included a blog and a podcast I’d have said you were mad. For my […]

Hello my lovely readers! I’m not dead! I’ve not given up! I’ve just had a busy few weeks and then I was away for a week in Benidorm with my family. As you can tell my mood has picked up significantly due to a week’s worth of sunshine and 75F plus temperatures. However, it’s not back to reality with a great big bang. Last year […]
