How do I move from "dealing with" ADD to "living with" ADD and thriving as a result of ADD? Listen to this blog! Does ADD define me? Of course not! That’s a silly question! Everyone knows that ADD is only one small part of me. I am MORE than my ADD. Right? Then why are there websites and podcasts and books and organizers and therapists and, yes, ADHD coaches, who are eager to help me “deal with” my ADHD? They have tips and tricks and advice oozing from every...Continue Reading »
I just love it when something works for me and my ADD. I love it even more when it also helps the environment. I have a trunk full of reusable grocery bags. They make me feel so environmentally conscious -- until I get to the checkout line and remember that they are...still in the trunk of my car. Why can’t I remember to bring them IN to the grocery store? (Oh yeah. ADD.) Once, when there was no one in line behind me, I actually excused myself and ran outside...Continue Reading »
Cosmo's doggie stroller reminds me that we ADD folks also need a little boost when we get tired halfway through doing the dishes or organizing our closets. Listen to this blog!

Then it hit me: I had actually lost my grapes! I had to ask: Is that like losing your marbles? Is there ADD medication you can take for losing your grapes? Listen to this blog! I haven’t killed any grapevines this year...yet. Actually, the two vines that survived Japanese beetles, grape fungus, and complete neglect look pretty good -- probably because I did my duty and pruned them in February (the actual recommended month for pruning -- a triumph for any ADD adult!). And I threw a bunch of well-composted fertilizer (aka chicken poop) around the roots. Voila!...Continue Reading »
I dare say Aristotle didn’t have an ADD brain. But across those dusty eons, he has offered me a clue to settling my anxious brain. “In all things, moderation.” When I first encountered Aristotle’s famous advice, I was (immoderately) indignant. What kind of boring life would it be if we all hit the middle ground: no over-the-top exuberance nor down-to-the-depths depression? Those extremes -- at least the ecstatic and energetic side of the equation -- are what make me feel alive and vital. Granted, the downside is less pleasant, but at...Continue Reading » « ADDiva Blog's blog « All Blogs |
