About Me: Ever since I was a young kid, I had trouble "shifting gears": I wasn't necessarily ready to stop what I was doing when it was time to, and I resisted starting on something else before I was ready to. I woke in the middle of the night with brainstorms and wrote pages and pages most of the time. As a teen, I did meticulous needlework and gave it all away as gifts. For most of my life, when I was feeling low in energy, I complied with people's urgings to push myself. I'm learning to stop doing that. I'm learning to accept my limitations. I'm glad to have a safe atmosphere to support me.
