October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. So many times, people don't believe their relationship is abusive because they're made to feel guilt and shame by their abuser. Signs that you might he in an abusive relationship: *your feelings and opinions are belittled. *coerced into sexual activity you don't actually want. *finances are tightly controlled by the other partner. *you're not allowed to be out with your friends without constant texts or it becoming a fight. *your goals for improving yourself are thwarted. *they're very negative about your family.
Abuse isn't just about fists. Reach out it you'd like resources.

The summer flowers in downtown Dexter are being trimmed back today. Just because someone doesn't want them, doesn't mean they don't have beauty and worth. I made a gorgeous bouquet that makes my heart happy. Remember that next time you feel rejected. One scenario doesn't define your worth.

MSU students and families: I will accommodate you if you would like services. Please specify in an email that you are seeking mental health treatment in regard to this, because I am not taking new clients right now, but I will gladly make an exception based on this recent tragedy. To everyone going through this right now, please reach out to friends and family. Share your grief and fear. Try to get outside into the beauty of nature today.

I will believe you. Every single time.

So very very true. 💜Wendyx
