I didn't write near as many notes for this chapter as I read it as many of the others in this book. For me, I struggled with what perspective and purpose I would take in sharing with those who end up reading. I, like almost everyone else who will read this, was at one point … Continue reading Parents looking for answers – You’re Not Alone – Chapter 12

Why I pad up – The power of proactively padding
I have wanted to read through the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People again with the lens of ABDL, but haven’t been able to get it scheduled yet. While thinking about this post I almost wanted it to kick start that effort, but I think I will leave this post as standalone for now, and … Continue reading Why I pad up – The power of proactively padding
Looking at it a little differently – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 11
It was interesting to read this chapter because I was not the target audience. I had to change the lens in which I saw and consumed the information. Perhaps this is appropriate because when I shared this part of myself with my wife early on I’m sure she had to do the same. This is … Continue reading Looking at it a little differently – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 11
Not really a book review.. The Midnight Library – The choices we make
Audible recommended a book to me recently after finishing up Project Hail Mary with my kiddos called “The Midnight Library.” It sounded interesting enough so I downloaded it and began giving it a listen. It is a shorter book so I figured it would be fairly easy to get through, and not lose track of … Continue reading Not really a book review.. The Midnight Library – The choices we make
Working through uncomfortable growth – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 10
Laying the foundation is essential for success in most of our lives. Want to be good at the piano? How often have you practiced your scales, learned to read music, and given the effort necessary for success? Want to be promoted? Are you laying the foundation of recognized (and unrecognized) effort to build into the … Continue reading Working through uncomfortable growth – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 10
Trying to live two different lives
Nothing like a little bit of advice from Doctor Strange to line you out a bit while you are relaxing and watching a movie.. It has been a while since I’ve been to a theater, but I wasn’t going to let the Internet spoil this movie so I headed down to our local silver screen … Continue reading Trying to live two different lives
Secrets, surprises, sharing, and shame – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 9
All ABDLs search for their reason or reasons for wanting to wear a diaper. Early on in life we are siloed in our own minds, and often shame ourselves because we are so different from the norm that we see around us. We proceed through childhood with many negative experiences because we don’t understand ourselves, … Continue reading Secrets, surprises, sharing, and shame – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 9
Put a pin in it, a diaper pin
Why do we seek to outwardly express who we are? Even in a subtle, simple way as a diaper pin on our backpack? I’ve learned that through my own self-acceptance I am more and more comfortable with embracing who I am both inside and outside of my home. This doesn’t mean that I run around … Continue reading Put a pin in it, a diaper pin
Loving myself – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 8
Life is hard. One of the ah-ha moments I’ve had as a parent is that my parents were in the same boat as I was. The boat of unpreparedness and sometimes complete inability to be ready for a situation that life presents. Life is something that we learn in the moment, and sometimes it is … Continue reading Loving myself – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 8
Pup play and a deeper self-understanding
I am getting back into running. It has been part of who I am, and part of how my wife and I have continued to date for the past 7-8 years. We recently registered for a 5K Run that was “pet friendly.” Many races are, and my wife loves to run with our dogs when … Continue reading Pup play and a deeper self-understanding
