About

Who am I?

I wish that were easy to answer. I am still working on that. I know that I love to help people. I love to teach things. I really like to make people laugh or smile. I love big feelings. I love the human condition. I love to learn and discover constantly. I am driven to constantly improve and be a better version of myself.

I do not love inequity. I do not love assholes. I really do not love people who treat others unkindly or worse, as if they are not human beings.

What am I?

I am a Gen Xer. I have ADHD (diagnosed in my mid-forties.) I am a mother of two children. I am a wife. My entire family is neurodivergent. I am a member of a community in North Central West Virginia. I homeschool my children and I work part-time (a very recent change from full-time employment for many, many years.

Until recently my answer for Who am I would have been the section listed under What am I. I didn’t know myself really and I thought that what I was and who I was were one and the same. And while the experiences from “what I am” help evolve who am I, it is not the sum of me.

I am on a journey to the best version of myself that I can be and that involves learning as much about myself as I can. I am working on being healthier, unmasking, helping my children grow and blossom and learn to live without me, and so much more. I invite you all to come with me and we can all do this together.

What do I do?

I game, I read, I listen to Taylor Swift, I actually like tons of genres of books and music, I look for ways to make it better, I take walks, I go to the theater sometimes, I keep in touch with friends and family on rare occasions but man, I am horrible at this, I go on trips sometimes.
