My "Right Difficult": A Work in Progress

I encountered a brilliant article written by Dr. Edward Hallowell in 2022 for ADDitude Magazine. He asks us 'what is your right difficult?' He describes this as a challenging, captivating outlet for creativity that helps you feel right about life. Hallowell also writes about this concept in the book ADHD 2.0 by both Hallowell and John J Ratey M.D., published in 2022.

To be considered a “right difficult”, it must satisfy two criteria. The first is an activity that challenges us. For example, an activity that stimulates our brains and offers us a challenge. The second is that this activity must captivate us, interest us, and that is also in our wheelhouse.

About Us

The dandelion persists - it represents our approach to persisting through adversity and living harmoniously.  Life in the 21st Century is challenging.  The few products we sell - while a small source of income enabling us to sustain our work - represent something more fundamental: we made them.  Consumerism today separates us from skills to take control of our lives.  Consumerism also robs us of being fully present.  So making something or growing something is a self-affirmation. 

Book a life coaching session or inquire about therapeutic horticulture.  Or just get in touch.
