My disillusioned brain feels like I am on a streak… two posts in two days…lol. 

We surround ourselves with people we believe share the same values as us. I can say that the feedback I received from the post was incredible. Thank you to those who conveyed the message that I can do this.  It has been an emotional few days. My brain is overwhelmed and all over the place, as this post will demonstrate.  

 Now, I need to figure out how to approach this without becoming overwhelmed. I want to accomplish a lot. I need to find a way to use my skills and knowledge to make a difference while also earning a living. People reach out asking for advice, and I give it freely. I always say I don’t do this to get rich, but I do need to pay the bills.

Conferences can be costly; we pay to attend and provide the necessary information to run these events. It seems like a contradiction if you ask me. There is often a fee, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, to publish articles, although some fees are waived because of the connection to the university, but not always. I am working on ways to expand my reach and connect with as many people as possible. Someone recently told me to be honest, and if people resonate with me, they will follow and engage. I am honest, and I know many people relate to my experience. Now, I want to reach even more people.  

I need to create a mind map and accept the help offered by those close to me who believe in me. I also need to believe in myself. I am going to manifest this into reality.  My stubborn ADHD self is determined, but also lives a chaotic, disorganized existence.

I am trying to practice more gratitude. Every night before bed, I am going to write out three things I am grateful for from the day. I have to say that today I am definitely very grateful for the incredibly supportive people I have in my life, and it’s their support that will help make this goal of mine a reality. Thank you!
