My Ketamine Infusion Treatment #5
Long story short, I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 5. Folks, I'm 56. That was 51 years ago NOT when it was popular. My mom didn't put me on medication. She didn't follow up by teaching me coping strategies either. Needless to say, school was a disaster for me. I was...

I talk to Heavenly Father all the time. I know that's not true, all the time, but it feels that way. He is important to me. However, I rarely get on my knees to formally pray. This morning, I have been busy putting away Christmas decorations. I check my phone now and...
