This is the first blog post in a series entitled, The Beautiful ADHD Brain. So, you just opened the front door, steaming hot tea in a to-go cup in one hand (lid's a little loose), that thing you absolutely need today in the other, ready to leave. And then you realize, you can't find your keys. You sit your tea down (the lid falls off), double check that your glasses are on your head, and look under yesterday's mail. You empty your purse. Check the basket on the entry hall tab

I was supposed to be working. Instead, I found myself staring out of my window watching the leaves on a tree dance gracefully in the wind. I was mesmerized so I made myself a cup of tea and turned on some music to fit the mood (I highly recommend Tony Anderson's music. Think "Narnia the Musical"). Then I returned to my observing. After a while, I closed my eyes and let the music fill my soul. Have you ever noticed that this kind of listening seems to alter your breathing patt

Have you ever noticed that when seasons change, something different is often required of us? Some seasons invite us to plant, to dream, begin something new, and trust God with seeds we may not see grow for a good while. Some seasons are for tending. They ask us to show up faithfully, often in quiet ordinary ways, that may not seem remarkable, but matter deeply. Of course, harvest seasons tend to come upon us in an unexpected manner. They remind us to receive with gratitude, c

My son took this picture when we were hiking. It perfectly captures my current season–not isolated, but rather intentionally cultivating solitude.

As a matter of fact, if you are neurodivergent in any of its various forms, research suggests you are simply more prone to autoimmune disease (percentages range from 30 to 50%). An article found in PubMed Centra PMC (gov.) states, "Autoimmune diseases and neurodivergent conditions (such as autism and ADHD) are linked by shared inflam

Recently, in 2025, a physiology study was done on how staying hydrated affected stress responses in the body. The Journal of Applied Physiology found that, during a stressful event (such as public speaking), cortisol levels were elevated in those with lower fluid intake. The findings concluded that staying hydrated is one principle factor in managing stress and possibly reducing symptoms from chronic-stress related issues. Another current study (done in 2025) has concluded th

Drinking 3-4 cups of tea daily (with a few added food-based supplements) is considered safe for most people. However, there are still precautions to consider when beginning any health regiment. And because I want to be responsible with the information I provide to you, let's talk about it a bit. Rotating herbs and supplements are

Photo by Gundula Vogel When we began researching what company to partner with in blending and co-packing our teas at Jubilee Seasons, the use of healthy tea bags was at the top of our list. What good is organic tea if it comes in tea bags filled with plasticizers, phthalates, or flame retardants? Why We Chose SOILON Tea Bags We believe every detail matters. Our plant-based SOILON tea bags allow herbs to fully expand during brewing, releasing their rich flavor and beneficial p

Tea is more than a beverage–its an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and be fully present. Here are a few simple tips to help you create life-giving rhythms around your daily cup of tea. Use Filtered Water. Every soothing cup of tea begins with the quality of the water. It truly matters more than you realize. Filtered water removes many common impurities such as chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants that can affect both flavor and aroma. The result is a cleane
