Hi Everyone!
We've been watching some of the Olympics and when listening to Michael Phelps talk after his first gold medal win, I said to my dear husband, "you know, he talks really fast. With his level intensity, energy and ability to hyperfocus, I wouldn't be surprised if he has ADD." My husband said: "Yeah, I can see what you mean."
Well guess what? He has come out and told everyone that he DOES have ADD (aka ADHD)! I'm so happy about this because the more and more famous accomplished people tell the world, the less stigma it will have.

OTHER NEWS
Having finished one huge project for a client over the summer, I'm gearing up to get this blog going again! It's been a very healing, soul-searching, busy, strange summer, but right now, things are all looking up. It's feel good to be writing to you all again. For now, I still won't be posting often - October is looking good for getting back into blogging more regularly.
SEPTEMBER PLANS
My September is going to be VERY busy with taking my ADD specialist exam, more CPO-CD project deadlines, and attending the NSGCD conference which once again is happening on my birthday (9/27). The Conference is from 9/27 - 9/27 in St. Louis Missouri. I'm so looking forward to connecting with my NSGCD colleagues. If you are planning to attend, leave a comment below and I'll be sure to look for you there!
Thanks for your faith in me! Neat & Simple Living Made a Couple Top Blog Lists over the summer...
Once again, breaking the "conventional wisdom rules" worked out okay for me. Several people told me my blog would lose rank and readers if I didn't post frequently. Well, thanks to you, my loyal readers, keeping the faith and knowing I would be back - the blog is doing just fine. Subscribed readers have been going up, AND I even made a couple top blog lists! Goes to show ya. It's more important to be yourself and know what your readers care about than to try and use other people's "rules" to connect with people! I think my readers care more about quality than quantity - like me : ) Here's where we were listed. Thank you!
