I cried over a pork chop.

I was in a chemo brain re-training group learning how to not forget allthethings.

My colleague expressed her frustration at being unable to find the pork chops she had prepared for dinner that night.

And I cried and cried.

In usual times, I would have chuckled and said ...

The Power of Pause #adhd #adhdawareness #mentalhealth #selflove May 11, 2024

A few years ago, in the first few months of the pandemic, I wrote nearly daily posts on social media about my experiences.

The eye doctor dropped the bomb – bifocals.

Just not happening.

I crossed my arms and shook my head with an adamant no.

Except, it is happening.

And so much more.

I still feel about 40 even though my eyes are telling me otherwise.

After much negotiation, we landed on bifocal glasses with a ...
