And I mean cool in a knows all the words to every Patsy Cline AND every Minor Threat song kinda way, not in a Rose McGowan in Jawbreaker kinda way.

Are you tired of the way you look and feel? Have you tried every "diet" out there with little or no lasting success? Have you been exercising regularly and still not losing those few extra pounds? You are not alone.

We are women who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD or ADD) and who are interested in learning strategies, skills, and processes which can enhance our lives.  We seek companionship, support, resources, recommendations and the kind of understanding that comes from being with those who "get it" from the inside out. Women who have ADHD, especially those of us who are diagnosed in our 30's, 40's, 50's and later, have many years experience of struggling to "pass" for normal, of tryi …

My name is Shelly, welcome to my group page! I took my first cake decorating class at the community center when I was 17 years old, and my mom bought me six tips and a little spatula. I kept that little kit for a few years, and then I discovered a supply shop, and made a cake with pink elephants for my husband's 21st birthday. I was hooked! From that early experience, I took other classes, practiced and learned from other decorators, and proceeded to master my craft. I went on to do special occa …
