January’s gone already? Each New Year’s Eve, my husband and I do things a little differently. We don’t sit down with resolutions or five-year plans. Instead, we look back. We count the wins. Big ones, small ones, expected ones, accidental ones. With two ADHDers in the house, both very much driven by motors, the idea...Continue reading
I love growing from seed. Love it. That tiny, hopeful moment where you pop a seed into soil and think this is it, this is potential incarnate. Watching day-by-day growth feels slightly magical.

Oh my, I’ve been busy! As we know, those of us with ADHD tend to live with multiple tabs open, metaphorically and literally.

Not to the world, but to ourselves. For those of us with late-diagnosed ADHD, it’s common to revisit the past with new eyes....Continue reading
June has been a re-defining kind of a month. For decades, I’ve been a passionate do-er of many things. I’ve done, and continue to do, a great many things. But over the years, I’ve hesitated when asked, “What do you do for work?” The answer would often sound fluffy or would shift month to month...Continue reading

Here’s a clear update on what’s changed: No More Two‑Year Psychiatrist Reassessments (from 1 December 2024) Until late 2024, anyone taking funded ADHD...Continue reading
I’ve been enjoying the seasonal shift of May – golden leaves crunching underfoot, the crisp bite in the morning air, the comforting scent of the burning wood fire, warm socks, early dusks, and endless cups of tea. That’s what autumn means to me. It’s been a strange-old month here in rural Waikato. The days are...Continue reading
It’s been another happy and busy month! I reflect on a month of March musings. On a personal noteBack in the veggie patch, I’ve finally cracked a weeding system that actually works for me!
