In defense of mental illness, the entire country is mentally ill. Just sayin…..Some more than others. Some deny. Some acknowledge. Some seek treatment. Some self medicate. Some takes meds. Some do not. Some get better. Some get worse. If we embraced ‘mental illness’ for what it truly is we would be a much more mentallyContinue reading “Monday Motivation – Embrace Who You Are”

B is NOT Failing.
PARENTS: Please stop pushing your children to be A students. Striving to be THEIR best is more optimal for their mental health. Perhaps you yourself didn’t do so well in school and you’re trying to live through your children. Perhaps you were pushed to be an A student and you do not want your childrenContinue reading “B is NOT Failing.”
In Memory – Robert Thompson May 5, 1960 – September 12, 2019
September 14, 2019 I was reading through Facebook and came across a friend’s page with an obituary. I took a double take as I recognized the picture of a young man and then I sent her a message through messenger asking if he had turned ill. While I waited for her reply I was hopingContinue reading “In Memory – Robert Thompson May 5, 1960 – September 12, 2019”
The Past IS the Past
The past is the past. It belongs in history books. There is something to be gained by always bringing up the past instead of focusing on the present and the future. Give it some thought, discover the gain, become aware of it’s presence, say goodbye and toss it over the shoulder only to be revisitedContinue reading “The Past IS the Past”
Reset
The ‘beauty’ of life is that at any moment in time we can choose to ‘reset’! Choose NOW! There is no ‘light’ without ‘dark’. Embrace the new journey that awaits. Look back only to understand where you have been….not to keep a dark cloud over where you are going. You matter! 💕😊
Monday Motivation – To Friend or Unfriend – A Social Media Woe
I have limited my time on social media because of all of the nonsense. If someone wants to unfriend me because of something I said, more power to them as they probably don’t speak to me on a regular basis anyway. What does it even mean to be ‘friends’ on Facebook. 99% of my FacebookContinue reading “Monday Motivation – To Friend or Unfriend – A Social Media Woe”
Stop the Madness!!
We are in such a sad state of affairs in this country. Arguing right and left all day long and people backing up their thoughts and opinions with articles they found from a Google search sometimes from websites no one‘s heard of or from sites we would consider reputable. No media source is reputable theseContinue reading “Stop the Madness!!”
Monday Motivation – Smiles DO make a difference.
My goal each day is to make someone smile. Sounds easy. I work in mental health and often it is very difficult as people are struggling to make sense of their world and how they ‘fit’ in. Sitting at Sonic reflecting…as I do. It has been a very busy week and there has only beenContinue reading “Monday Motivation – Smiles DO make a difference.”
Talk is NOT Cheap and Silence is NOT Golden.
While we are counting positive COVID-19 cases and deaths daily I think we need to start sharing the number of people with thoughts of suicide, attempts and completions. Oh but wait! We can’t share those numbers because we don’t talk about suicide!! Argh!! 😡 😢 I started this journey into mental health and right outContinue reading “Talk is NOT Cheap and Silence is NOT Golden.”
27 and Many More
27 years ago today my twin boys arrived. 5 lbs each. Full term. I knew at 14 weeks into pregnancy there were two babies brewing as I watched the sonographer circle two sacs on the scan and type ‘twins’. My eyes opened wider than usual. I had always wanted to be a twin but neverContinue reading “27 and Many More”
