Digital calendars works best for me, but maybe a physical calendar is better for you!! #beprepared #calendar #notifications #nevermissamoment #ready #beyourownboss

Everyone has something ✨
Dyslexia always made school and college very difficult for me. My reading skills score in the bottom 3 precentile of the country. 😅 I would often find myself getting annoyed and upset when I would spend hours reading, when it would take others minutes.
I think it's important to remember, that we are all perfectly flawed, one way or another. What some people find easy, others may find impossible. Without my challenges in reading and spelling I would definitely not be who I am today. I remember being embrassed and not wanting people to know, in case I was judged and was seen as less. Having had teachers in both school and college, tell me I was stupid or to give up, because apparently people like me aren't cut out to succeed in the education system 😇
I was determined to not let anyone stop me.😎
How I have dealt with my 'flaw' has given me a very unique approach in the way I communicate with people, how my brain processes and develops ideas such as my treatment plans, and I even have my own dialect of english, I like to call Bronagh - ish! 😂
Always look for silver linings, turn your setbacks into strengths and ignore the haters. The world is your oyster 💕
Stick with me with this one, it’s a long one but I promise it will be worth it.. For the longest time I always struggled with how my brain works (actually I still struggle with this) I have always been ashamed of how my brain works. What seems easy for others can be a really big struggle for me. I never realised how far behind I was educationally until one day my teacher read my home work out to the class and made a mockery of me. I had to come forward and say it was my work, (i mean I didn’t even realise it was that bad. I was 8) From that day forward I had “special lessons” underneath my teachers desk and felt isolated from the other kids. Highschool came and my math teacher realised I wasn’t getting it and gave me colour in sheets to do instead. He still passed me that year. Move forward into adulthood and I realised I didn’t know the basics. I didn’t know where was where in the world. Or even how to read the time and while others found it funny I hated myself for it. I was afraid to read out loud because I was afraid someone might realise or make fun of me if I made a mistake. I sat out on any activities that could make me look dumb, I gave up on sports because my anxiety was so bad that I might make a mistake and be embarrassed in front of people again. And to this day I struggle with this, I can’t tell you the amount of times someone’s mean words has led me to tears and I find myself crying in my car... One day I overheard the saying “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” So i may not be good at reading, writing or maths I may never be able tell you the value of pie or whatever it is they say. But I can tell you what I’m good at, I’m a good listener, I wear my heart on my sleeve and I always put others needs before my own self. I’m a great mother and I know exactly how to soothe my crying baby and he looks at me like I hung the stars, I’m a great friend and will always have you if have me. I’m funny, I make myself laugh 😂 I am loyal, I’ll never cheat or betray you. I am a good daughter, mother, friend, co worker, aunt, sister...
