We don’t know what lies on the other side of this world and this life. We won’t know that until the inevitable happens to each of us and I’m just that, it’s a gift. I don’t want to know the date that I’m going to leave this world and pass on to wherever it is that we go. All I know for sure is that I truly try to embrace each and every moment with others that I can now because nobody knows when that final day is going to come. That should be a motivator for all of us to do good, be available for those the we care about and cherish every moment. I’ve heard of people who never get excited about things because if they do and it doesn’t happen, they really don’t lose anything. If something does happen, they take it as a pleasant surprise.
What a terrible way to live life! A friend of mine told me today after chatting for a few minutes that I have one of the most gratifying jobs in the world because I help people who’ve need direction and who for a lot of reasons, have lost hope. What makes life worth living each day for me is to help restore some of that hope back inside of those people I work with. Being able to reach so many lives with the gifts I’ve been given is a testament to the trauma I’ve been through and the richness I’ve found in everyday life and I wish that for all of you as well. Make the most of the time you’ve been given.

Everything in our lives is there to teach us lessons. Those situations happen to help us grow and mature into our roles as human beings with the ability to love, sacrifice and fight for our cause. That being said, most circumstances present a choice on how to react, which way to go or who to spend your life with. In life, there are no guarantees; only choices.
It's not about making the right or wrong one because either way, you are going to learn a valuable lesson that will either help you later on or assist someone else that you share the wisdom you've obtained. When all is said and done in this life, there are no mistakes.

🌿 Mental Health Awareness Month: A Journey of Healing 🌿
In the tender spaces of our hearts, where emotions bloom like wildflowers, there resides a delicate balance between light and shadow. May is not just another month; it's a sanctuary of understanding, a beacon of hope for those navigating the labyrinth of their minds. As we embrace Mental Health Awareness Month, let us embark on a journey together—a journey of compassion, resilience, and profound self-discovery.
Each of us carries within us a narrative woven with threads of joy, sorrow, triumphs, and trials. Yet, amidst the tapestry of our lives, there exists a chapter often whispered in hushed tones—the chapter of mental health. It's a chapter marked by the complexities of anxiety, depression, trauma, and myriad other battles fought in the silence of our souls. But today, we dare to break that silence.
In the symphony of life, the melody of mental health sings a song of courage—a song that echoes the resilience of the human spirit. It's a reminder that vulnerability is not a sign of weakness but a testament to our strength, for in our vulnerability lies the seeds of healing.
To those who have weathered the storms of despair, know that you are not alone. Your journey is a beacon of hope for others, illuminating the path towards acceptance and understanding. Your scars are not blemishes but badges of honor, evidence of the battles you've bravely fought and the wars you've conquered within.
Let us cultivate a garden of empathy, where seeds of kindness and understanding are sown in the fertile soil of our hearts. Let us water it with love and tenderness, nurturing the fragile blooms of hope that sway in the gentle breeze of compassion.
This month, let us stand together as a community—a tapestry of diverse experiences and voices united in solidarity. Let us hold space for each other, offering a listening ear, a comforting embrace, and a shoulder to lean on. For in our collective strength lies the power to shatter the stigma surrounding mental health and pave the way for a future where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

Dive right in. Don't think about what could go wrong or even what could go right. Put blinders on and wade through the tough stuff because that's what is going to help you grow from whatever the experience may be you're facing. Not having any expectations requires a certain amount of courage and the more you don't set your heart on a certain outcome, the more courage it's going to create within yourself to see it through. Now, go forth into the unknown and come back a winner.

This month, we celebrate love, diversity, and the beautiful spectrum of identities that make us who we are. Pride is about embracing every part of ourselves, standing tall, and being unapologetically authentic.
To everyone on their journey of self-discovery and acceptance, remember: you are valid, you are loved, and you are enough. Let’s continue to uplift each other and create a world where everyone feels comfortable and proud to be themselves.
Be proud of who you are today and every day. 🏳️🌈❤️

When we’re young, everything seems like it’s coming to an end. The fact is that it’s just beginning. With age there’s wisdom, and humility. Laugh at your mistakes, learn the lessons, and cherish the ride.

1. Rather than listening to the voice in your head that is screaming “I hate this; I don’t want to do this” think about why it is a GOOD thing to do.
2. Instead of trying to pretend that you don’t feel this way, accept that you are feeling very blah and negative.
3. Don’t think about results and how well you think you’ll do, as this could raise your feelings of anxiety and fear. Just think about “right now” and the first thing you can do.
4. Accept that life is tough, and is full of things that suck – but recognise that doing hard stuff is better in the end. You’ll likely have more choices and freedom, if you do.
5. Just do a little bit for now – then give yourself a proper break – then go back and do some more – and soon you’ll find you’re in the flow.
6. Don’t allow your mind to wander and think of other things. Stay focused for that short time – and then stop, and have fun.
