Authenticity Is a Gift: Who Knew?
| January 23, 2012 | Posted by Jenny Ann Fraser under ADHD, Feast... |
I spent much of my earlier life attempting to fit into the proverbial box because I was convinced that this was the only way that I would ever be worthy, or loveable. This erroneous thinking was extra torture because I cant even find the box let alone fit into it. And now, I finally understand that the reason I could not find the box is not because Im some sort of deficient sub-human. It is because Im not supposed to. …continue reading.
The Day I Got To Work On Time

One day last week, I managed to get to work on time. Now, for ordinary people, this is not news. I realize that. But my job as the Head of Wardrobe at a theatre is not really all that ordinary and neither am I. I work every day like most people, and I often work… …continue reading.
Surviving My Education
| September 30, 2010 | Posted by Jenny Ann Fraser under ADHD, Feast..., Working Towards a Better World |
Today, for some reason, the subject of education keeps coming up. You know how it is. First I read a Freshly Pressed blog post about someone’s idea of what kids should learn in school, because it looked more interesting than work. Then about 30 4th graders head down the hall from their drama class to… …continue reading.

It would make sense by now that some might be wondering what I’ve been up to, since I haven’t posted anything in some time. I’m sort of wondering the same thing. Even though I am impressed with how I’ve been working at keeping my commitment of practising “Presence” and trying my best to remain rooted… …continue reading.

I need help. It’s that simple. For the past month or so since the season ended at the theatre, I’ve been working part time at several different jobs and I’m making definite though not rapid progress towards building all of my dreams.

Thank You

This past week has felt incredibly hectic to me. Not because I’ve been incredibly busy, but my ADHD brain has been extremely hyper. Sometimes it is difficult to calm myself down enough to get things done the way I would like, and this has been one of those weeks. I know that the key here is to “be with… …continue reading.

I have ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I’m tempted to say that I have ADH as when we’re talking about me, the H does need to be bold and underlined and I have come to the conclusion after living my life for all of this time, that it doesn’t benefit me to think of myself as having a disorder. I’m just me and if I’m breathing, it means that I’m working at being a better me. Take it or leave it. …continue reading.
