It is the holidays and the one thing we have more of here on the path than anything else is HOPE… 🙂

 HOPE IS   Hope is a feather floating in a bright blue sky Hope is that sparkle that shines in your eyes. Hope is a butterfly fluttering on the wind Hope is good times spent with family and friends.   Hope is a newborn baby’s cry Hope is a Mother’s lullaby. Hope is the rainbow after a…

Hello Diary…

Taking a brief break in the holiday festivities to share few thoughts… in spite of the holiday cheer, there are many who are having to deal with life’s challenges and the holiday may not be so cheerful… perhaps in need of a friend… “A friend may be waiting behind a stranger’s face.” (Maya Angelou)….. 🙂

 "Portrait of a Friend" I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears. But I can listen to you, and together…

No matter how much you’re struggling,

Or how many times you fall down,

Remember to keep on pushing through.

It’s ok to fall, just remember to get up and dust yourself off and try again.

You’ve got this!

I may not know you personally,

But I believe in you…

I love you…

And I want the best for you!

Hope you all have a great Thursday, and if you don’t,

I hope you at least survive the day ❤️.

“Childhood trauma isn’t something you just get over as you grow up. Pediatrician Nadine Burke Harris explains that the repeated stress of abuse, neglect and parents struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues has real, tangible effects on the development of the brain. This unfolds across a lifetime, to the point where those who’ve experienced high levels of trauma are at triple the risk for heart disease and lung cancer.”

I’m reading the research study on Adverse Childhood Experiences and watched the video above, that helps sum up their findings. It’s such interesting information, I needed to share it with you all.

Please let me know what you think!

These past few months have been the most difficult for so many people. Make sure you realize how you have been coping and dealing with the stress. How you’ve been dealing with the anxiety or depression. Remember how strong you are and how you’re still here, still fighting.

I’m proud of you ❤️.
