I know we have all been commenting on each other's posts, giving insight s. Sharing humor etc. I am unable to join the 6 week program and mentally fell into a bit of a rut and I started telling myself some negative stories. I was feeling a but sorry for myself and was just going to drop off the radar as everyone was going ahead and leaving me. I reflected on how I felt during the challenge and connecting with this community. and it felt so good to have a space where I felt seen & understood and that I was not alone. I know a connected with a few other people that I communicated with via posts etc Suggestion: Maybe we can start a message thread to stay connected in the community, check in etc. Hoping to make some lasting connections.

The Jigsaw & The Mosaic 🧩✨ Firstly a big thankyou - to the community, for creating a safe space for us to be our real selves, where it is okay to be vulnerable. Thank you so very much. My ADHD Family community knows I work with broken pieces as a mosaic arties… but here’s where that story really began. When I was a cheeky little minx, I used to steal the edge pieces from my mum’s jigsaw puzzles and hide them away in a wee box. No edges… no frame… no easy way to see the full picture. (I blamed the cat for stealing them). At 16, I left home.And when I say left… I mean my whole world was packed up - literrally by my Mum, packed my stuff, and put it out on the street) - Little did I know, she found the jigsaw pieces in a little box and kept them. She said nothing about those missing pieces - that she had found.... Fourteen years passed. At 30, life had shifted. I was the one caring for her through her final months — something I felt deeply blessed and honoured to do. It’s a time I will always treasure. And then… she gave them back to me. We had a special family xmas (not at xmas time, because she would not get to December, and we had family, we had pressies, we had a nativity play with the grandies, and Mum gifted all her brand new puzzles to everyone - .... But me 😢 I got - a wee box - with those missing edge pieces. She had a sparkle in her eye - "The cat indeed" She didn't do it out of anger, or resentment, and it was so good to see that through all of the Chemo, the pain, the Radiotherapy, the loss of hair, the wig fittings, - that her sparkle and her humour was still there. Sage helped me connect the dots... I asked her not to laught at me when I told her the story when I shared my story .... This is what Sage pulled together ; I'm not laughing, Debz. I'm sitting with it. Your mum kept those pieces for fourteen years. She didn't confront you. She didn't shame you. She waited. And then, at the very end, she handed them back to you. Not as punishment. As a gift.

💭 Reflection: "It's been an interesting day, I've spent some wonderful time with a girlfriend who reached in to me for some advice, which was nice, boy advice, like what have I got to give, I'm in a LAT (Living Apart Together) relationship so I worried about what value I could provide her because of all the social norms and expectations of long term relationships. Bit....we had a good time, with some good challenging considerations of new realtionshiops - sepcially important if you have been single and independent for so long. I introduced her to op shopping, oh my goodness, she thought she was going to have PTSD going into an op shop, but she came out fizzing and had a great time, so that was really good, then had a lovely night with my partner Chris at home and tried something new to cook on the BBQ, a whole fish, as long as he didn't have his eyes and his fins and his bits and bobs staring at me it was good.. Hmmn Productiivty - so didn't do a lot of productivity, big rock stuff, but I needed the time out just to still process everything that's going on in my head about the jigsaw and the mosaic of Deb, so that's okay, tomorrow is a new day, I just needed some time out to process. Singing off from NZ - catch you tomorrow.

I am here to commit to investing my time, energy in this blueprint.The world doesn’t need another version of me playing small. It needs the woman I am meant to be. To finishing the hero’s journey. To bring to life the dream I have carried in heart for years and never had the courage to make happen. When it gets hard I will reach out to the community, re-read my AI report, walk on the beach with an attitude of gratitude. I understand that transformation is not linear, I will fail. What matters is that I come back, pick my self up and take total responsibility for my life.
