Mental Health Check In!
How are you REALLY doing?💜
No one deserves to suffer in silence or in shame.

The power of grief is great,
But the power of HOPE is greater!

Praying in this late hour for those struggling with grief and depression during this holiday season.

You are not invisible;
I SEE you beyond the mask of not being content, I see the despondency in the midst of the smile; And God sees you beyond any mask that hides how the real you feels. He cares for you, He has not forgotten or forsaken you. Hold on dear one.

Praying for you,
Yes…You💜

GASLIGHTING 101

Gaslighting is a term which others do that opens up the door for them to question your sanity; it gives no credence nor validation to your voice, and it never rewards or accept that you have merit in what you say or what you are experiencing.

We all need a safe place/space to take off our protective capes and defensive lassos. Here's to all the amazing women who are holding it down in the midst of everything that's going on around them and within them; here's to safe spaces to just BE.

To be loved and to love is admirable. Yet, the total love of self is like no other love and even a priority before we are able to love others in a healthy manner. This day is not just about having a significant other to love; There are many that will say they are loved, but do not love themselves. Some even loathe themselves. I want to encourage you this day, to lavish love on yourself.

Those who are without significant others; to romance yourself. To love you. Send flowers to yourself. You not only deserve to be loved, but you deserve to love yourself, every inch of yourself, every flaw, every imperfection about you.

Just as you desire to pour out the love you have on the inside of you into someone else, lavish it, without restraint on YOU. Until that special someone finds you and you find them, the greatest love affair to have is with yourself.
