Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world

On Monday I had a session with my Neurodiversity Therapist. We talked a lot about how our 'quirks' are interpreted as other things and often not identified as symptoms of neuro-diversity.

I cannot believe that we are mid-January already and that I have now been back at the client for a full week. I had my contract extended another 6 months and I am really happy about that, I adore this client. I would be delighted to stay until I retire at 65 in a few …

I suspect that I have suffered from anxiety for most of my life but I just did not have a name for it. When I moved from a tiny little town in rural Tennessee to Los Angeles in the 80's I was diagnosed with asthma because when I would drive on the motorways I …
This has been a rather eventful week in Hout Bay, but before I catch you up let's go back to where I left off on my last blog because us Virgo's are nothing if not methodical in our approach. Last Sunday Norm and I went out for a pub meal at our local, Woodcutters Arms. As …
I have had 2 lovely weekends since my last blog and I have a lot to say so grab a cuppa and settle in. The weather has been absolutely stunning but we have had a lot of wind. Last Saturday I was up very early as I had an appointment at 9am to get my …
This was my first week back at work after my month off and it was a challenge to get back into a routine. On Monday I had a full day workshop on Data Modeling, on Thursday I attended a DAMA Conference and today I had a presentation to a potential new client and had to …
