The purpose of this blog is to bring relief to those who have looked for answers and haven’t found them. For those of us that know we are blessed with something special and don’t want to conform into the person society deems to be appropriate. In short I want this to be a solace for the weak, comfort to the weary, and a camaraderie for the gifted. There are so many people that have the same issues, same problems, and same struggles. Why not learn from each other? I have come in contact with people that have been struggling with an issue for years and haven’t been able to receive help. Sometimes they can’t afford doctors visits for one reason or another. They may not have any sort of support system whether it be family, friends, or group to rely on. The problem that I see is in a third group of people. Those that know they are different yet are too afraid to talk to someone because they are terrified that they will be rejected. I fear this group will continue to grow unless something is done.

We all search for comfort in one form or another. I would like to purpose that the most effective way to receiving that comfort is through someone that has been there before and knows what it’s like. I myself am a religious person, I know that some aren’t. It doesn’t matter what your beliefs, background, race, sex, nationality, height, weight, hair color, or how you have your eggs in the morning. We all have one thing in common…ADD. For those that have already been through the thickest fog this is your chance to be that person you wish you would have had when you were in the dark. By you sharing what you have been through, what you have tried, what worked, what didn’t, you can be a light house to those in the fog. You offer something that you can’t read about, go to school for, or hear about. You have experience! Nothing, absolutely nothing can be as valuable as the advice from someone who had felt that same way. By contributing that priceless knowledge you can make a difference in someones life. This is your time. This is your call. This is your chance…

There will be a monthly theme which will be the topic of discussion where readers can comment and share personal experiences. I will be looking for suggestions via email for the discussion topics. This being the first month I will choose the topic. I have alluded to it in the mission statement. I want to talk about recognizing that there is something special about us and how do we know if we have ADD or is what we are feeling “normal?”
