The calendar flips to June, and suddenly thereâs a subtle pressure in the air.
You blink and realize the year is halfway overâand youâre livinâ on a prayer.
The goals you set in January?
Youâve rocked some. Youâve whiffed others.
Some are still chilling on that dusty to-do list where good intention...
Have you ever told yourself: âIâll get to that laterâŚâ
Only to realize later became next week, next month, or never?
If you have ADHD, youâve likely lived this cycle more times than you can count.
I'm here to tell you - Youâre not lazy and your brain isn't broken.Â
Youâre just stuck in a pattern ...
Wondering where I've been?
I know, I know... I've been quiet for over a month.
My husband and I decided to move full time to our happy place in Fenwick Island, Delaware.
