Deliciously Sexy

May 11th, 2010 · 3 Comments · 01 My Thoughts

What do you long for?

What excites you?

Have you defined what you want, need and desire…

…in someone to love, hold and live with forevermore?

What is your innermost desire in another person – specific characteristics which stand above all others – do you know what they are? It’s important; believe me, it’s very, very important.

You will never know what you are looking for until you define it. You will never find what you are looking for until you give it a description. They say that if you don’t stand for something that you will fall for anything. It’s the same with finding a true to your heart friend and lover. If you don’t know, you may seek out nearly anyone with a nice smile, pleasant demeanor and perhaps a little flash that shows seemingly genuine interest. And, you will be had! What’s so wrong with that?

ADDers Have a Unique and Talented Way of Thinking

May 10th, 2010 · 1 Comment · 01 My Thoughts

Adult ADHD can be Sexy? Really?

We ADDers have a unique way of thinking things through. We have a rare way of putting things together, of finding similarities between things or ideas that at first seem dissimilar or at least unlikely to be joined as an interesting concept. When the ADDer demonstrates how two vastly different notions can be connected the result can illuminate the possiblility of a completely new idea.

For ADDers being creative is more about the process of finding associations between things and ideas that come at them day to day at a frenetic pace in order to make sense of the fast paced life around them. ADDers are famous for thinking outside the box when they are asked for solutions to a problem or a new approach to an old idea or way of doing something. And yet, too often this wonderful trait to see, create and do things in unique new ways is disregarded in today’s world, even when it is obvious they work incredibly well.

Adult ADHD can be Sexy Special Announcements and Release Info

May 7th, 2010 · 20 Comments · 01 My Thoughts

Above is a quick iphone snapshot of the front and back cover of my new book Adult ADHD can be Sexy. The book is not yet available for purchase. At the moment I am considering when that date will be. The photo is only a proof copy, once I send it back approved, then I will have a firmer release date in mind. Soon, my dear friends, soon.  

Waiting is a very difficult thing for me to do, because I am extremely excited about this book, perhaps more so than any other release of my books. Adult ADHD can be Sexy is like no other book you, or anyone else has ever read about ADHD – I can pretty much guarantee you of that! I have written about subjects and situations that are so sensitive (at least in my opinion) that I have added a warning / disclaimer to it. Therefore, be warned that if you decide to read it, there will be an agreement between you and me. I do not try to appease anyone in this book; I tell it like I see it and have lived it. This book is about real life experiences, emotions, feelings, relationships, love and oh yes, sexiness too.

Just another Call to Arms! Adult ADHD

April 1st, 2010 · 6 Comments · 01 My Thoughts

Have you noticed that adult ADHD is making more news lately? As a matter of fact I just read that approximately 65% of children with ADHD will grow into adults with ADHD, or rather ADD.  I personally suspect that the percentage is much higher. It’s impossible to know how many adults are wondering around undiagnosed, but it’s estimated to be in the millions. I was diagnosed when I was 37 and in recent years I have met a remarkable number of adults diagnosed at a later age, some cases much later. This of course lends to the belief that ADHD isn’t real. How can so many people have it? I don’t know, but we do.

How Special Are You? A Real Perspective of Life with Adult ADHD

March 23rd, 2010 · 9 Comments · 01 My Thoughts

ADHD can test your willpower, but ADHD is not a test of your will. ADHD can test your attitude, but ADHD is not based on attitude. ADHD can test your feelings, cause us to feel ‘lesser than’, but ADHD is not based on feelings. ADHD can cause you to blame yourself, but ADHD is not based on who is at fault. ADHD can make you believe you are not trying hard enough, but ADHD is not based on how much you apply yourself.

A lot of us with ADHD start out already at a very young age with big hopes and even bigger dreams. We tend to show so much potential early on, but as the years go by, more often than not, we lose our way. Along our journey, all too common our hopes and our dreams suffer, they get smaller and smaller until they all but vanish, distant and painful memories of what we once, so long ago, thought we wanted. Do you remember? So long ago?

Yes, I am flawed.

March 21st, 2010 · 4 Comments · 01 My Thoughts, Love

In love and happiness, for better or worse, in sadness and sorrow.

The days go by, countless they pass. I remember the days gone by, the walks late at night and your glistening hair in the moon light. I remember those days. I remember running across a bridge to capture your heart as you captured mine.

For better or worse, I may be flawed, but I love you.

I never thought there was a love so strong, so powerful. I never thought someone could capture me in rapture and delight, in pain and misery and in happiness and laughter. Life is all of those things, as is love. And love, my dear, is life. Without your love I was lost, with your love I have been found.

I am so lucky. For so long I wasn’t.

What is achievement – what is success – what do these things mean to someone like you or me, with ADHD?

March 19th, 2010 · 22 Comments · 01 My Thoughts, 4 Men, 4 women

Have you ever wondered about what success means to you? I mean, what it really means? Not just the definition, but rather what it feels like to be successful, to achieve something of significant relevance to you? I think for people with ADHD, like me and maybe you, the very word and the meaning of success is alien. We have read about it and heard about it and yet, rarely have we identified with it.

Are you successful?

 If that seems like a loaded question, it’s not, but I think to a lot of us, it seems that there may be some hidden implication within the question itself. If you say yes, then you are lying and displaying conceitedness! How dare you! Bow your head in proper shame. That’s not the voice from someone else; as a matter of fact it’s not a voice at all. It’s a perception that many of us have. It’s a rather solid perception too, because without hesitation we can back it up with a long list of failures that will cut us to the quick faster than we can even think. But, there’s more to it.

The Gift of ADHD and the Power of Positive Thinking

March 16th, 2010 · 17 Comments · 01 My Thoughts

 

I love having ADHD, I really do! It’s amazing what powers I have found within myself and my ADHD traits. I wouldn’t give up my ADHD for anything in the world, not now, no way!

When I first found out I had ADHD at the age of 37 and how it had been negatively impacting my life all along I was very upset about it, mostly because the diagnosis came so late and my life and circumstances could have been much improved with an early diagnosis, especially if I had been diagnosed in first or second grade, instead of just being held back and then put in special education class.

What is the meaning of life?

March 1st, 2010 · 3 Comments · 000 Brilliant Reality of ADHD, 01 My Thoughts, ADDer book reviews

 

To be beat down, criticized, punished and live with regret and guilt all of our days?

 No.   There is another way – a positive, self fulfilling way.  I am going to share that way with you.

Life is more than we give it credit to be and yet too many of us live within a shell of fear and anxiety. We walk the halls of our life flinching from the slightest sound which echoes within our minds, on and on, and on. We fight against it, we try to be strong and we try to walk tall. We try to show confidence and strength. We go day to day wearing the mask of life as strong courageous human beings. But why does it have to be a mask, why does it have to hurt so much, why can’t we just be understood and accepted for who we are? Why do others try to hurt us and tear us down? Why do we want to give up and yet still continue?

Who doesn’t want to fall in love forever?

October 20th, 2009 · 17 Comments · 01 My Thoughts, Love

Just a fantasy?

Who doesn’t want to fall in love forever? Who doesn’t want to meet that perfect person, that person who makes us feel whole, that person who makes us feel wonderful and beautiful?

Who doesn’t want to meet that person, you know who I am talking about, that person who understands who we are inside, who understands our ways of doing things, who understands the whys, the how’s and the frustrations, the temptations and the never ending contemplations?!

Who doesn’t? Who doesn’t want to meet that perfect, accepting person?

Out there, in the word, somewhere, that person is there, looking too, for acceptance, understanding and compassion, sympathy and reliability. We believe that, we have to - if we don’t – what else is there? Nothing else seems to matter, but then…
