What new adventure can you try today? Is it going to be fast pace and full of surprises? Or is it gonna be slow, breathing in the air, and noticing the light of day? Noticing the moments just as they are, and not taking them for granted.

A new day each day! What a blessing. Do with it what you can to make it amazing.

Asking questions is not being difficult. And we all learn differently. For neuro divergent people, ASD/ADHD, asking questions is about:
- Clarifying what people think are obvious
- Clarifying what people are expecting of them
- Avoiding mistakes and trying to do things properly or correctly
- Showing an interest

For people who process from the bottom up and not from the top down, they need the “why” behind the “what,” otherwise the context is limitless.

Sometimes this makes people uncomfortable, because they’re not necessarily sure of the answer themselves. And that’s just plain awkward isn’t it?

And I have to say, it’s not always just a Neurodiverse world where questions can become tricky? Questioning your boss becomes tricky, questioning your loved one becomes tricky, questioning the opposite s*x can become tricky questioning your parents can become tricky.

It’s not always simple is it?

One phrase that I like to use, before I ask a question, is:

Please know, that I’m not questioning you, I’m asking a question. That’s how I learn.

(If they need more)

I am assuming that you’re doing it for a reason, and knowing why helps me to understand why I am doing things, particularly if they are different to how my logic has processed it.

Often when people realise that you are not arguing with them or putting them on the spot, but I actually interested in learning, their whole demeanour can change.

Question the universe, because that’s how we all move forward.

It has been a massive group effort, and we finished our latest clinic puzzle today. Working as a team since last July. And undeniably, our biggest challenge yet. The colour changing puzzle. Literally, as you pick up a piece, the colour changed. If you moved it one way it was green, if you moved it the other way it was purple. It made sorting pieces a very interesting process.

I promise the next one may be easier…. maybe 😉

Life changing moments. The courage to follow the instinct that says yes take the chance. You 100% have the power within you to direct your future. Have the passion to do so.

If you want to change your thought patterns, you have to identify where the -ones are. And when you do that, it becomes easier to find them, challenge them and change them. Ask yourself, are those thought patterns healthy and useful for you? Or are they undermining yourself and others? And if they’re not useful, then change them. Look for a thought that is useful and go with that instead. And when people say to me, “I can’t do that.” I often reply with, tell me one little thing that you can do that will get you closer to where you want to be. Start with that instead.

110 years ago this week, Anzac Day was held for the first time. It has been observed annually ever since. And true to the ANZAC nature of all Australians and New Zealanders, research has shown, that 99% of Australians value this day with national importance. Not everybody can make a public service, but that does not mean that they do not value or commemorate the day in their way.

We are honoured as Australians to have those who have put themselves forward for us. For our safety, for our way of life. And how blessed are we to be in this country because of it.

May the tradition of respect and courage of the ANZAC be continuous for the next 110 years and beyond. May we always remember them.

Monkey see, monkey do. By what you do and say, is what you teach as ok. Respect and love yourself and your family as it teaches children how to love. What a precious gift to give someone, treat it wisely.

Rest well and dream big. Sleep is where we restore our journey to get ready for the next big adventure. And if you are not getting enough of it, it makes it a tough slog versus an amazing journey.

Let them play in the mud. Let them get dirty. Let them use their imagination. Let them play. Because through play, we have wonder. And through wonder we learn. And we learn more than anything that could ever be taught.
