Mindful Meggie (they/them)

@Shasko Would be great if Ecuador has it! 🇪🇨 I think it's making waves in South America, especially because Brazil passed the Sunflower into law. That's the highest I've ever heard the Sunflower go!

@mindfulmeggie I read your post, I just realized that Ecuador doesn't have this great program. I don't think I need one even tho I have ADHD, but I do think many people could really benefit from it. I hope it gets here at some point :)

Traveling with a hidden disability like ADHD, autism, or hearing loss? I updated my Sunflower Lanyard post to better explain how it supports you at airports and airlines. I share my experiences as a lanyard user with OCD through four continents! mindfulmeggie.com/hidden-disabil…

In this pic, me trying to hide the fatigue from my face. Hope it worked 😂 Shortly after, I threw up several times due to a stomach bug from unclean food. It's totally unrelated to the lanyard or hidden disability scheme :P

@ErielleSudario It took you this long 😛

Soo.. I finally know how to play this darn card game. Thanks @mindfulmeggie

I'm starting the New Year with regret. I'm agonized about my mistake. I can't undo it. But regret isn't a bad thing. If anything, I have a plan to redeem and improve myself. Hint: It involves mental health therapy and spirituality. A new year, a new me. mindfulmeggie.com/new-year-regre…

Back to blogging! I love Asian family dynamics. The original plan was for me to stay overnight with my cousins. I ended up being there for three days. How did it turn out this way?🤪 mindfulmeggie.com/one-day-became…

When my British friends visited me yesterday, they brought their own "bantering" onto me. Although Harlaxton Manor was my home and not theirs, I felt they had more control than me! I felt as though they were trying to take back their manor for their country! 😛

For all his working life, Stevens has kept up his professional, dignified image as a butler. But now he has to adapt to his new American employer's joking small talk, which Stevens calls "bantering."

This parallels with Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, The Remains of the Day. The main character, a dignified English butler named Stevens, has to navigate the changes at his workplace, Darlington Hall. Like Harlaxton Manor, it was ex-British/currently American owned.

The Harlaxton Manor was once owned by a rich British guy. But for the past 50 years, it has been an American institution housing study abroad students from the USA.

[THREAD] Week 4 for England study abroad: My class visited the coastal town of Whitby, England, just off the North Sea. One of the dares posed by my professors? Swim in the cold North Sea! So that I did... but not for very long!

At least one of those crewmembers decided he would rather die in the sea than be the victim of the mysterious monster. What was worse? The cold sea or a coldblooded vampire? I think it would be the cold sea, but you tell me.

My chilly plunge reminded me of Whitby as an integral setting for Bram Stoker's horror story, Dracula. It was here where the vampire first set foot in England. Dracula was a stowaway on a ship coming into Whitby. No crewmembers survived.
