ADD's Hyper Focuse

  I have been glued to one of my other projects. I have gotten more serious about writing my book and locking myself in. It is a dream of mine to become a full-time writer. Due to everyday life and bills, I work full time but then come home to write my book. In the past, I have had a challenge incorporating a writing routine due to my shift moving around. Now that I have a 7 am till 4 pm I can come home and write after a half an hour break. I even started doing these writing sprints, you join someone on a call say what your goal is, and then write for the next hour. Once the hour is over, you check back in and share how well it went without needing to share, unless you want to. It’s so that you are being held liable. It honestly has helped a lot. I am now 54 pages in my first draft. My plan is to be finished this time next year. My current title is “Nordic Secrets”. It is a Nordic-themed action adventure. Dr. Sam Fletcher was recruited to work on a project with the military at ...

Germany Trip 2023

-

 

I have to admit that I am in quite a funk. I don't know what it is...

You may have noticed that I have not been posting as much. Not that I don't want to...

I used to talk about my blog a lot with Morgan. With him passing away so suddenly it threw me off my course with this blog. I assure you am still here and I am still posting.

On the bright side, Germany was amazing! Frankie and I took a lot of photos. Some of them I will be selling at: https://www.naturallynaturephotography.com. I realize that I spoke about this half a year ago and I thank you for your patience. If I say so myself, my photos make a great gift for any occasion.


We went to Germany to visit my family after not being able to see them for five years. Too long of a wait. It's always great seeing how much my family has grown and still is. Just recently this year I had two new cousins come into this exciting world. 

During our time in Germany, we celebrated my sister's and brother-in-law's wedding and my 31st birthday.





                                        We went wine tasting in the Winebergen. (Wine Hills) 




Oh, the Phalzer wine is fantastic. There is truly nothing like it. And the vineyards reach out so far and wide they seem endless.


We went hiking around in the deep dark Phalzer Wald. You can take a walking/ bike path from town to town without worry of cars. You can also easily get lost in the woods on a hike with no one else in sight. These woods were so dark and thick with trees that very little light came through the trees. 



 You will never know what you might find hidden in the woods.

Along with mushrooms, moss, and trees, you also may find a castle, a medieval tower, or even a beer garden.

These woods were so dark and thick with trees that very little light came through the trees. 



                                                    We took a tour of nearby castles. 



                            Then we ate and drank a wonderful feast where the Frog King sits!

On the evening of July 26th, we rush to this tower climb the three hundred steps.


At the top, we found endless views of mountains and woods

With just seconds left not knowing that Morgan just has taken his last breath I capture the final sunlight.


As we get back we find the bees sleeping peacefully on Lavender marking the end of our adventure.


But do not fret! When an adventure ends another begins. 





This past Thanksgiving I received the joyous news that I am going to become Tante Lena! (Aunt Lena)
The due date is on my Birthday!

                                                      I am so excited and I just can't hide it!

Change

  Change is inevitable it is also the one thing that a lot of Autistics don't like. A lot of people on the spectrum are routine-oriented. Whether we plan to be so or not. My grandmother would say, “Lena you are so predictable”; I would argue back, “No I'm not”. I hated being predictable. And didn't want to be so. But it was true. Whenever I went to visit her I would often go to the barn and back to the house like clockwork. To my defense I was bored. I didn't have much to do other than listen to music in the barn while cleaning the stalls and going back to get a drink and eat. But I loved being around horses so therefore I didn't care. For years I would say that the only thing that we would need to know about me is that I love reading books and being around horses. Give me a reading nook in a horse barn and I would be in heaven. You would never see me. I would gladly sit there reading to my horses. Unfortunately, I didn't always have a book with me, so I ...

The Girl in the Mirror

-
  The Girl in the Mirror Joe walks out of the house while her mother is screaming at her from inside the house. “You fucking dumb ass, how dare you burn my breakfast....That’s right you’d better leave, and don’t ever come back you retard...”. Joe, no longer fazed by her mother's berating, goes for a walk through town. With her dropping out of school her new routine became quite simple with spending about five hours in the library reading and then later on grabbing something to eat from the dinner. Unfazed by the people staring at her she continued on walking. On the other side of town, she comes across some abandoned houses. One of them is a plantation house that looked like it had been there the longest, possibly built in the 17th century based on the architecture. Intrigued, she attempts to go inside. At first, the door wouldn't budge. It was either jammed or locked but Joe had to give it one more push. This time she put her shoulder into it, knocking it right op...

Autism Girls

-
  Growing up, one of the main things that people kept telling me is how Autism is more common in boys than girls. For a very long time I believed this. It even made me feel special like I am rare human being for being a girl with autism. As if I became fated to make a statement. As time went by, to my relief, I learn that autism isn't more common in boys then girls. It's just perceived differently. Autism was first identified in boys during WWII by Hans Asperger. Little did he know that autism shows up different in girls then boys, but he had a sticky situation to deal with during the war at the start of his studies. So lets forgive him. One has to start somewhere somehow. Whether we like it or not, women and men are programmed differently. Boys are more task oriented, as they are more likely to focus on a single task over multitasking and focus on the major details. Girls are more detailed oriented, and are generally more interested in the fine detail of things,...
