The funny thing is that The Disorganized Mind is about Self-Coaching. Self-Coaching does not involve hiring an ADHD Coach. The ADHD Coaches who reviewed the book did so because they truly think the book is helpful for Adults with ADHD. The Disorganized Mind talks about strategies that people with ADHD can use on their own.

So the those of us ADHD Coaches who have reviewed and praised The Disorganized Mind are actually risking losing some business! It's really too bad that some of the people reviewing and commenting on Amazon have NOT even read the The Disorganized Mind yet either!

I'm finally feeling better today and am really excited about the ADDClasses.com events this month!

Tonight the ADD Book Club starts discussing the book the ADDed Dimension. It's a great book but for some reason it hasn't received as much attention as many other Adult ADD related books!

I'm also really excited to welcome Diane Ladd to the ADD Coaching Club! Diane will now be leading the Wednesday evening ADD Coaching Club group session.

Also due to popular demand we have added another session of Adult ADD BootCamp. The next session starts on August 21st.

This afternoon Dr. Rory Stern was my guest on the Living with ADD Radio show. We talked about the 13th National ADDA Conference  which took place earlier this month in Minneapolis, MN. If you missed this afternoon's live show you can listen to the 2008 ADDA Conference Recap here.

Also make sure that you are subscribed to my blog and Support for ADD E-News to learn about afuture shows and my expert ADHD guests!

The ADDing FOCUS Program is almost full but there are still a few spots left. If you are interested in the ADDing FOCUS Program make sure you sign up now to get your spot!

Here are some interesting topics over at ADD Forums:

• Is there proof that Inattentive ADD exists?
• Sodas, Spending and Overdraft Fees
• Do they ever say you DON'T have ADD?

There are actually thousands of ADD/ADHD related posts over at ADD Forums. These are just a few that I wanted to highlight!

Last fall ADDClasses.com started offering the option to listen to our live Free Teleseminars over the Internet in addition to the telephone. ADDClasses.com members have been really happy with this option and our international membership has dramatically increased too.

Because our ADD Coaching Programs are small and interactive we don't offer the webcast option. Participants must call in using a telephone to participate live. I've recently been getting people telling me that they would love to participate in some of the ADD Coaching Programs but they can't afford the long distance charges.

I was kind of surprised to hear this from those living in the united states. I thought most people had cell phone plans with long distance. I've been using an unlimited monthly plan for close to 10 years now on my personal land line phone and my business phone. I currently use Vonage for my business phone which costs about $30 per month.

I've also heard great things from other people about Skype Out. There are different Skype Out plans that range from about $3 to $10 per month. Some people purchase special phones through Skype but many just use the mic that's already built into their computers.

I just recently purchased the Magic Jack and for the most part it's worked very well. I had problems talking on it in the middle of a thunder storm last week in a hotel room. However I think it had more to do with a bad Internet connection than the Magic Jack itself.

The Magic Jack costs about $40 for one year of service which includes calls to the US and Canada. Those who live in other countries or travel to other countries can just plug in the magic jack and call the US or Canada. If you do order the Magic Jack, special offers will be thrown at you at the end. They give you the option to purchase up to 5 years of service.   

This year's conference was a great experience for me. I connected with old friends and also met some great new people too. I was really excited because this year was my first time speaking at the National ADDA Conference too.

The thing that sticks out the most for me is the number of people who came up to me and told me how helpful ADDClasses.com has been. I really hoped that ADDClasses.com was a very helpful resource. I guess I just really needed to hear it in person from people!

OMG...They weren't there!! I start panicking and thought my husband who just left to catch an earlier flight packed them in his stuff by mistake. So, of course I called him on his cell all upset! He didn't have them either!!

With about 20 minutes before I was scheduled to catch the shuttle to airport I knew the only thing to do was to dump out everything I had already packed! Of course they were on the very bottom on my suitcase!

So as I said before and so tired from my trip and the ADDA Conference. I was just standing in my kitchen and was hearing strange voices. At first I thought it was the TV in the bedroom! It wasn't though! Then I was starting to think that I must be even more tired than I thought I was.

I finally realized that the sound was coming from my bag which was on the kitchen chair. I forgot to put my iPod in the lock mode and somehow it came on! I wasn't as tired as I thought! There voices weren't in my head they were coming from a podcast in my iPod!!!

Even though I may not be tired enough to be hearing voices I am still really tired and am off to bed!

I've already connected with some old friends and met new people like Jay, Eileen Bailey and a couple of ADD Forums members. I also hung out with Rory Stern late last night talking about ADHD in the Hotel Lobby. I should probably get to some sleep so I will actually be able to enjoy the rest of the ADDA Conference.
