I like long walks on the beach at sunset. The water is my guide. I have only gotten lost a few times. Sometimes I get distracted and off track, but that doesn’t hold me back. Stillness is my kryptonite; adventure is my elixir. New experiences stimulate my brain which makes me feel alive.
Hold my attention and you will hold my heart and in return you will not be bored. There will always be a lost shoe, wallet, or keys to find. Object permanence is a skill I have not mastered, but I make up for that with all my pizazz. Comedy, drama or tragedy, I provide them all, although the show never debuts on time and often catches even me by surprise. This is how I am and how I have always been. I think my ADHD made me this way. If this sounds familiar, you might have ADHD too.
The mission of my blog is to embrace the Dinglefritz inside us all!
Curiosity can be an ADHD superpower and it is part of the reason I became teacher. In college I learned about my unique brain and teaching strategies that I secretly stowed away for myself so I could better hide. It worked for a while.
I advanced in my career and counseled others on how to better help people like me. I fooled them all, or so I thought.
Then the trifecta of a new job, perimenopause and COVID forced me to finally embrace my neurodivergent brain. Dinglefritz is about learning to laugh at the ups and downs in life that make us human and one of a kind. This is a new journey, and I am excited to have you join along.
