Perspective

This morning I was thinking, oh God,  please make this rain stop. Then I remembered those affected by major flooding in Qld and NSW and I thought of the war in Ukraine,and the pain and suffering, and lives needlessly lost because of a war they didn't want and couldn't control. And suddenly, the rain didn't seem so much and my life seemed good and I prayed for those in places around the world experiencing unimaginable pain and suffering. God, please make the war stop.

Adults with ADHD

Many years ago most people, including professionals, assumed that childen grew out of ADHD when they reached a certani age, an certainy by adulthood. Today we know differently. Not only do we understand that most people carry ADHD into adulthood, we also know that the number of girls with ADHD is is similiar to the number of boys with ADHD and that whilst it may manifest differently the condition is still as difficult to manage.  What we are finding in our ADHD support group is that parents are realising that they to have ADHD and that they were never diagnosed as children, simply because it wasn't well understod or accepted by the community.

Living with Purpose

Life can be complicated. There are so many things to consider, relationships to nurture, education, work, maintaining physical and emotional health, and personal growth. Within each of these there are many and varied nuances that we navigate on a daily basis. Sometimes, at least for me, it's a huge win just to get out of bed and get going with the day. On other days I seem to be able to take on the world. On top of all these things are the expectations we carry, that are placed on us, knowingly or unknowingly by others or even by ourselves. The weight of these can feel very heavy at times like a yoke that binds us to the grindstone of what can feel like an interminable daily toil. How can we get to a place of real productivity ( defined by me as 'the things that really matter') when we seem bound to something that is never ending. I don't have all the answers. Maybe you  have experienced times when you've felt like the expectations of others, their call on your ti...
