“Dyslexia is an unexpected difficulty in reading in an individual who has the intelligence to be a much better reader. While people with dyslexia are slow readers, they often, paradoxically, are very fast and creative thinkers with strong reasoning abilities.”

Welcome to my website and blog Felt Dyslexic!
This Blog is for Adults. Warning, I write about my personal experiences, some of the content is intended for adult audiences only and may contain mature themes, explicit language, or sexual content.
I will be sharing an essay about the ups and downs of my life each week. I will write about my struggles and triumphs with being Dyslexic, ADHD, most likely Irlen syndrome and an Artist.
Telling my stories to strangers on stage, clients and friends has been a way for me to connect and feel a part of the large community of being a vulnerable human. I’m ready to share with you too.

2017 I was in Oxford England with my daughter at a local pub.
My mentor Alan Lewis would say,
“Crisis is a gift. The bigger the problem the bigger the opportunity. Create something larger than yourself to leave here on earth. Lean into your fears.”
I have thought tons about what he said to me.
What can I build? What can I build that is an expression of myself that people will benefit from in the future. Lean into my fears?
Basically, I feel that the only thing I’m an expert on is being myself.
My ego, I guess it’s called, wants to protect me. Wants to keep my stories hidden, keep shame at bay. Don’t share your ups and downs, it’s too risky. Stay invisible.
I’m an introvert, it’s best to do my work quietly. But my healthy self, as my coach Emily Perkins calls it, wants to love, connect and collaborate.
Love, connection, and collaboration are what I’m after.
Joy is a welcome addition to what I’m after in life as well.
I want to be in a conversation with you about the ups and downs of life as a neurodivergent person.
How do we navigate life? How do we love ourselves and share that love with others.

There are a lot of things I love about myself. There are a lot of things I wish I could do better.
It’s my belief we all add up to 100.
So, where I see I need help, I’ve learned to collaborate with people who can help me.
Where I can help, I collaborate with people who need some help.
At times it’s been a long slog. I continue to learn my lessons, hopefully a bit more gently each time.
Loving myself through the tough lessons, instead of holding onto shame.
Life is full of ups and downs for all of us. We are in this thing called life together. 8 billion people sharing this planet.
I want to share my stories so I can love, connect and collaborate with people.
I want to be in the conversation of life’s ups and downs with you.
I’m ready to share.
Today I Felt Dyslexic. I leaned into the discomfort and did one small action towards my goal.
It was scary and difficult but that’s ok. Time is on our side.
Much love,
