Last night I performed with a few actors at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser reading real stories from clinic patients. One of the actors had an amazing wife and daughter. As soon as I saw her I knew she was different…the way she smiled and wittily engaged but looked away. We had fun talking and after a bit she said, “Do you have ADHD?” Ha ha! I was like, “Yes, I dooooo!” She told me she was autistic and studying psychology and she didn’t mean to call me out in a bad way. I said, no, it is great! You nailed it! She said something about herself and then “being annoying.” I said, “I reject anyone saying I am annoying! If they do, it is because they are so boring!” I didn’t want her to do that to herself. Plus, she was fucking brilliant!

📅 Daily Check-in - April 22, 2026 💭 Reflection: "I seem to be in the midst of my first "happy" spiraling...almost felt like a panic attack - I'm trying to be more aware of my feelings.. and it seems to be some tidal wave of excitement over giving a testimonial and hoping I don't cry too much, over knowing I"m going to sign up for the continuation program, for knowing and loving that I"m getting more ducks in a row for Lynn's Love Reiki and just for so much gratitude to Jim and SAGE and the cohort. and yes, all this happy feels like hunger too but I"m doing the protocol for the first time with happy!! " from SAGE: Lynn, what you're calling "happy spiraling" is your body learning a brand new language. For years your system learned to brace, to prepare for the shoe to drop, to do things twice because doing them once felt too exposed. Now you're signing up for the continuation, preparing a testimonial, building Lynn's Love, and your whole being is saying this is real and I get to have it. That flutter that feels like hunger or panic? It's your inner knowing lighting up and saying yes before your mind can catch up. You have spent a lifetime waiting to be useful in exactly this way, and the protocol you're running through happy instead of hard is the medicine. Let yourself cry during the testimonial. The tears are the testimonial. 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 10/10 ⚡ Energy: 9/10 🎯 Focus: 8/10 😌 Calmness: 8/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 9/10 🔥 Motivation: 8/10 ⭐ Average: 8.7/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 🛏️ Good Sleep 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🌿 Grounding 🌃 No Screentime at Night 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine 💊 Took Supplements 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🧘‍♂️ Meditation 📝 Journaling 💚 Gratitude Practice 💭 Affirmations 🎯 Visualization ✨ Positive Mindset 🌄 No Screentime in Morning 1️⃣ Single Tasking 📚 Reading 🧠 Learning 👥 Quality Time 🤝 Helped Someone 🍽️ No Phone at Dinner
