Another spectacular program offered at Grey Rising Counseling and run primarily by Shannon Fountain. You would not believe how often this pantry, named after the Nana who could talk your ear off, but never learned to say no- seems to see be actively aiding a community in need, so whether you are in need or have extras you want to share, come on by.

This is another resource free to the public. Grey Rising is located at 4721 County Rd. 25 Killen AL 35645.

I have a favorite quote “Hope dies last.”

I want to be more vocal about Baby Beans Bookshop located at Grey Rising Counseling (4721 county rd. 25 Killen AL, 35645) because my mother was a huge advocate of reading. She read to us as early as possible and by high school I couldn’t put a good book down.

Just to inform, the lending library is free. Please feel free to take what you will read and you’re welcome to donate too. We had a large donation recently and I couldn’t fit them all, so all you kiddos come on by and grab you a book, so I can fill it up again. You can return it if you like or it is yours to keep. Reading is a special joy of mine- a good book can take you anywhere.

*Thank you for those donating 🩶

ADHD is deeply misunderstood. 👇
Most people think it’s just “being easily distracted.”
But ADHD is a complex neurological condition, and it comes with strengths most people never talk about.
Here are 8 truths about ADHD everyone should know:
1. It’s not a lack of attention, it’s a dysregulation of it.
People with ADHD can hyperfocus for hours on what they love, and totally ignore everything else. It’s not about laziness, it’s about control.
2. It’s not just a childhood thing.
ADHD often continues into adulthood. The symptoms just shift:
→ Less bouncing off the walls
→ More mental chaos, disorganization, and overwhelm
Many adults live undiagnosed for years.
3. ADHD brains are wired for novelty and stimulation.
Routine can feel unbearable, but these brains thrive in:
→ High-pressure environments
→ Creative problem solving
→ Fast feedback loops
In the right setting, ADHD becomes a superpower.
4. Rejection Sensitivity is real.
ADHD often includes RSD, Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria.
Criticism or perceived failure can feel crushing.
It’s emotional pain that gets misdiagnosed as mood disorders.
5. Many ADHDers are natural entrepreneurs.
They’re:
→ Big-picture thinkers
→ Risk-takers
→ Unafraid of uncertainty
They struggle with rigid systems, but thrive when creating their own.
6. Executive function is the real challenge.
ADHD affects the brain’s ability to:
→ Plan
→ Prioritize
→ Start/finish tasks
It’s not about intelligence, it’s about activation.
7. Movement helps focus.
→ Pacing
→ Fidgeting
→ Walking while thinking
These aren’t distractions, they’re coping tools.
Even cardio can boost focus and mood.
8. Structure = freedom.
Yes, really.
→ Lists
→ Calendars
→ Visual reminders
These tools reduce overwhelm and build momentum.
Structure doesn’t box ADHDers in, it frees them.
🧠 ADHD isn’t a flaw.
It’s a different operating system.
Understand it. Support it. Harness it.
