Mental Health Awareness Month

 May is Mental Health Awareness Month. You are NOT alone!


Mental health problems don't define who you are. They are something you experience.
There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn't and it okay not to be okay.

Patriot Day: Never Forget

  

Twenty-three years ago, the United States endured one of the most unconscionable tragedies in U.S history. Patriot Day honors the memory of the innocent victims who died in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Each year Americans dedicate this day to remembering those who died and the first responders who risked their own lives to save others.

Eight Years Without My Son

 

My grief is emotional, mental, physical and spiritual rollercoaster.

It comes in waves...waves that crash into me so hard it takes my breath away.

I will grieve for my son until the day I die.

His death is not something I can just "get over".

I am trying my best to learn with to live without him.

I will never be the person I was before Colt died.

Grief is the price I pay for love.

It IS Ok to Not Feel Ok

Some days I feel ok and some days not so much. Today, specifically this evening is a not so ok day. Sitting at my computer slowly recovering from a full blown panic attack. My biggest fear is dying. I do NOT want to die. Yes, I know that one day I will die and I cannot stop it....and that is one of the main causes of my panic attacks and anxiety.

I am going to go hug my dog and sit on the couch with her for awhile. And keep telling myself it is ok to have days like this.

Giving Tuesday

 

#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Observed on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources.

A few organizations I like to donate to are:


Stray Rescue of St. Louis.
