Learning to understand my aberrant self. Working through my “big three” with the main discussion around #abdl in my personal, professional, and family life.
While taking just a few moments during my day on the computer I saw an email come in from the Church. My inbox is never empty, and there is always something to do. For some reason I took the moment and clicked on the email, and found the blog post Come as you are; Bring … Continue reading Our imperfect self is good enough
I have been blessed with the friendship of fellow littles (AB/DL) in my journey to understand myself, and the journey my wife and I are on incorporating diapers into our lives. The first, real connection and what I now consider a friendship comes from a friend we’ll call Seth. He helped me feel for the … Continue reading A Friend’s Voice – Seth – Understanding Scrupulosity
*Sorry for missing my Sunday post. I have been unavailable, and have been playing catch up with my study of the last principle. I also didn’t realize how much I would have to write about this last principle, but I feel like I am using it to wrap up my study of this book. In … Continue reading Principle 12 – I [was] desirous that my family should partake

My thoughts feel more like notes this week. My studies were different than that past few, so how I recorded my thoughts about this principle definitely feel like they are reflected in these words. The process becomes cyclical. We begin to see a pattern in behavior where we must return to earlier principles and reapply … Continue reading Heart to Heart – Principle 10, Retain A Remission of Your Sins

During this time of the year there is an abundance of gym memberships, goals, and fad-dieting brought into people’s lives. We want to make changes, but do we commit? Do we resolve to change ourselves? The definition of resolve uses the words “firm determination” more than once in its various definitions. We all want to: … Continue reading What do we resolve to be?
A simple act of kindness causes and endless ripple. So often in our lives as Adult Babies we find ourselves looking in, shamed of ourselves and what we experience daily. The knowledge that we are aberrant does not escape us. Knowing can compound our feelings, and push us deeper inside ourselves.
