Thanks for the feedback on the podcast and for sharing your own experience of fogginess. I like the way you learned to value the unique perspective it gave you. I think that’s the secret to a creative life, don’t you?

wonderful post, and what a nice podcast — you have such a lovely voice! a genuine pleasure to listen to.

Surely you know Joanna by now too: She is the personification of our Ho‘ohana Community in Scotland! Today is her birthday. Because of Joanna, I can now spell Edinburgh right the first time, without checking, and knowing that she is

I hadn’t really thought about brain fog being a ‘condition’ in the way you’re talking about, or that’s described in the article you linked to.
