Okay so not to scare you or anything, but I think we are about to become best friends. I, too, was diagnosed with ADHD at 36, and I've had a bazillion blogs, a bazillion hobbies and projects I've picked up with reckless abandon and then unceremoniously dropped somewhere along the way, etc. (And I'm a new Exhale member!) I love what you said about "reclaiming abandoned projects as worthwhile experiments"--YES! I've been (slowly) coming to a point of acceptance of my hobby-hopping tendencies and instead of beating myself up over it, I can now enjoy all the different things I've learned and played with over the years! BRB while I go read the rest of your posts on here instead of working, because #adhdproblems... :-)

This makes so much sense AND proud of you for starting this! Not an easy task. Go Lisa go!
:) I'm curious which parts made sense to you... we can totally continue this conversation at whatever pace using whatever media ;) Thank you!
Proud of you for eating the frog and going for it! And letting yourself be seen.
Thank you so much!
