Striving for Self-Love

~ It's a journey~ Striving For Self-Love   Many say you can't love others unless you first love yourself. I've always disagreed with that statement because even though it's exhausting,  I think it's possible. However, I don't believe It's practical for the long-term; we tend to eventually burn out when all we're running on are prayer fumes.   Since I am on a journey of...

If you are missing your dad today, my heart goes out to you. Be...

Photo by Estée Janssens on Unsplash   Greetings!   Hello, to you, and I hope you're doing well! I am sitting in complete shock right now and a little embarrassed. Since I am not yet the greatest at navigating my entire website, I tend to overlook things. I also took such a long break that I haven't gotten caught up. The shocking thing to me is that I have a bunch of comments. In my...

Give Me Your Beautiful Writing

  Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash     It's incredible what words can do. They have the power to spark emotions while, at the same time, expanding our minds. They also have the ability to build us up or destroy us if we let them. I have had many hurtful words thrown my way over the years, and in one particular instance, the person told me, "They're just words." Words can drive...

Gratitude- the Remedy

  Photo by Erriko Boccia on Unsplash       Does it ever seem like you’re waiting for something to happen that never comes? I used to say I felt like Cinderella, but the Ball never came. Something else I’ve found is that it’s never as pleasurable as I imagined when I anticipate something, and it’s almost like the excitement lies in the waiting. One of the only things I...

Finding Love Online

      In a few months, it will be my 6-year anniversary.  When I think of how my husband and I met, I still marvel at the "coincidences" of how we found each other. The stars were smiling at us, and God must have whispered in my husband's ear that I was the one he was waiting for. He's my best friend, my comforter, my biggest advocate, and my protector.I love Justin Fink so...

  Breaking the Cycle ~finally choosing life again~ Photo by Miguel Bruna on Unsplash It can get frustrating to read the lists of accomplishments others have made while I stayed stuck in this mental cage, barely able to go outdoors unless I have my “safe” person beside me. Even then, everything outside feels foreign. I can’t look into anyone’s eyes, so I stare at their...

I’m More than Just a Walking Mental Illness

I did not recently write this. I found it in my drafts and thought I would post it to remember how far I've come.  Even though I thought I was in a good place when I wrote this, I am in a much better place now. Onward and upward, being gentle with myself about the losses.    I’m More than Just a Walking Mental Illness I’m a human being, just like you, and have feelings too....
