A small win

Completed my apprenticeship At working they were offering out apprenticeships, now some of them where incredible and I was very interested in the book binding and forestry but alas I had to do mine on housing.

Keeping a promise to myself

Kindness

What’s the trait you value most about yourself? I try to be kind. I know as a child I could be selfish and lash out, forgetting that words have barbs. I thought that being funny meant being mean. I would describe myself as mean inks I am angry. I alway want to be a good…

What could you do more of? I wish I could focus more. I am definitely one of thousands of women in their forties that have ADHD. I have all the signs, getting distracted easily, hyper focus, room laziness. I honestly wish I could focus and complete more, by my life is full of “que Será”…
