Photo shoot for new book

A Sorry I haven’t had the time to write as much as I would like lately. The new book has captured a lot more of my time than I thought it would and now that it is near completion, I really don’t have a clue what to write about at the moment. Hopefully, that’s just a phase? Have you finished a major project and then kind of wondered around a while wondering what to do next and it seems as though there’s nothing else to do? That’s kind of where I am at. For the new book Joan and I wanted to include a few pictures for very specific places within it. You get to see a selection we are considering in this post. Please tell us which one’s you like best. We want you to have a part in this book. Next week we reveal the completed cover, which […]

Our enjoyable stroll through Amsterdam

Our enjoyable stroll through Amsterdam

  Joan and I spent a wonderful clear day in Amsterdam on Saturday. We had a great time and were relieved to have such splendid weather. The day before, while we were in Utrecht, it had rained the entire day. Saturday started out a little drizzly too, but by the time we reached Amsterdam the weather had cleared and the sun was breaking from the clouds.     Joan is an art history buff and the museums are always on our agenda. We have visited Amsterdam several times in the past because my family, on my mother’s side, is from Holland. This time, though, other than the Van Gogh museum we didn’t really have any other plans and spent the day walking through the city. It was great because we got to see several sites we usually do not come across.     One of those sites was “The American Bookstore”. It […]

Living with an ADD ADHD Partner

Living with an ADD ADHD Partner

Oh, this is great fun! Don’t you think? Living with someone who has ADD or ADHD? Oh, you don’t think so? C’mon it can be fun—yes, it can also be frustrating, weird at times and just plain ridiculous, even scary and sometimes quite sad. But, hey, your life will be anything except boring! We ADDers can be charming characters; we can excite you, enthrall you and make you believe you are the only person on earth worth being around. And if we are spending all of our time with you, then hey, you’ve got some charm yourself. I have been married twice. I am happily married to Joan who knows I have ADD and she has found ways to get along with me and my ADD and she has helped me become a better person. I will talk more about our relationship in a moment…

Magical Mystery Tour, Life with my ADD ADHD partner

Magical Mystery Tour, Life with my ADD ADHD partner

     Life with my ADDer By: Joan F. Hutchinson  Itʼs definitely like being on a magical mystery tour when you live with a person who has undiagnosed Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD. ADDers like Bryan desire constant excitement, positive reinforcement, and acceptance for their extraordinary talents as well as their limitations. At first living with Bryan was both scary and exhilarating; it felt like driving at high speed into a glistening, dense fog, not knowing what to expect, but trusting that the fog would clear and reveal a wondrous path ahead for both of us.

Kevin Wall and the ADHD InSpiRaTion

Kevin Wall and the ADHD InSpiRaTion

  I wondered who I could write about for this New Year’s article to really highlight ADD ADHD as something viable, something valuable, –something real and something to be, yes, to be cherished. The struggles are real and the stigma can be devastating, but there is so much more to it than that, so much indeed. Who better to demonstrate the brilliance of human life and the positive abilities ADD ADHD bring to the world and the people it touches? Enter: K E V I N  W A L L

ADD ADHD Center of the Universe – Sex, Love and More!

Here we are, born to be kings, We’re the princes of the universe, Here we belong, fighting to survive, In a world with the darkest powers, And here we are, we’re the princes of the universe – Queen Are you the most important person to you? Are you the only one you think about all day? When you go out to buy Christmas presents do you think of what others would like to have, or do you think of what you would like to give them, or better yet, what you would prefer to have? Do you interrupt others questions with questions of your own that concern you? Do you interrupt in general before others have expressed all they have to say on a subject? Do you consider the ramifications of something before you know the complete story? Do you think you know how a movie is going to end […]

Small is the new BIG! The perfectly Abstract Adder day in Frankfurt Germany!

Small is the new BIG! The perfectly Abstract Adder day in Frankfurt Germany!

Oct 2007 Hello everyone and welcome to Adder World, it is a fine Sunday morning and the sun is shining brightly outside—at least in this part of the world. Yesterday my wife and I had a unique and wonderful day in Frankfurt, Frankfurt Germany! We went to Frankfurt for a reason, a very special reason and I am going to tell you a little about that and I am going to tell you of a few things we discovered in Frankfurt which related perfectly to my Adder nature and how things just seemed to happen that I wanted to happen, but I wasn’t really thinking of happening—at least not in Frankfurt Germany. Ah, the Law of Attraction with Positive Thinking and the Power of Optimism does incredible things and it works. If you have been reading my Blog, then you know what I am talking about. This is going to […]

Wife’s support of her Adder – Part 2

Wife’s support of her Adder – Part 2

  Recently, well a while back… a year ago? I can’t remember how far back, but it wasn’t that far back. It was October of last year… I think. Anyway, I try not to ramble on my Blog, but I can’t really remember the exact date. Okay, I will try this again—sometime last year my wife and I took a trip to Amsterdam. It was a fantastic trip and although I have been to Amsterdam a few times I have never actually visited anything of relevance, unless I was having coffee.
