Hello and Merry Christmas and Happy Hanuka. Just a few comments about the season and AD/HD/LD as well as an update on the first Ortando's Tribal Counsel. This year our family is segmented and our son and her wife are in Indonesia, of course too many miles to fly home and my wife and i miss then terribly. Nick continues to report the ease with which he teaches English in Jakarta, irrespective of his Dyslexia. Heather his wife continues to teach as well, as foreign languages come easily to her. My practice here in Oregon as a Therapist for those with AD/HD/LD issues continues to thrive and I have been quite busy. I am constantly reinforced for concepts and principles of Ortando's Way while counseling my AD/HD/LD clients. That is when I speak with them about a sense of Tribal membership, and shared talents, empathy, intuition and tools and strategies for our deficits, virtually all "get it" and improve their life functioning. I also am grateful to learn from my clients especially their individual subtleties and what they have devised to help themselves.
The Ortando Tribal Counsel in Stayton Oregon will be at meeting #3 this Friday and it is going well with feedback that tribal members are learning new ways of understanding their brains and how to be more successful. I am grateful for OVRD's support providing the venue and the referrals.
Let me remind the readers that your ideas as AD/HD/LD tribal members are valued and appreciated. Please comment on Ortando.com and here on the Ortando's Thoughts Blog are you find yourself inspired to do so. Ortando
