Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.
Young Children Kick Pigeons but Adult-Children Kick You
Wherever human beings gather there is ‘drama’. We can’t seem to help it. Everyone knows a person whose entire raison d’etre is creating and manufacturing ‘situations’. If you don’t know a person, it might be you.

A Space For The Spiritual
It's taken me a while to figure out my purpose on this planet. I've gone through many incarnations when it comes to my career - translator, teacher, baker - each one feeling like I'm playing dress-up, or a starring role in a particularly bad comedy where this one girl just can't catch a break or find her way in life. A very, very bad comedy.

Talk Therapy & Pure Speech
Every person faces issues. Sometimes power people misuse. Innocents sometimes take abuse. Our words can harm or they can help. People in pain send out a yelp! When we're weak we feel like a whelp. We heal with communication. All our cells need stimulation. Mind does heal with meditation. We help people get their thoughts right. A baffled brain is quite a plight. A darkened psyche just needs light. We do promote psychiatry. Brains bombard with variety. Psych-evals maintain clarity.

From a Cocoon to a Butterfly
I recently started working on a new project during my free time that focuses on creating art, while also incorporating plants, and flowers (dried up and using scissors). I am working on creating an art gallery, showing my healing journey as a survivor of abuse. Creating these pieces have been very therapeutic, and it makes me feel happy. As an adult I feel much more comfortable sharing my story, because I have been able to process, learn how to self-regulate, and start healing from those traumatic experiences. It has made it much easier for me to move through this world. I have not fully healed from those traumatic experiences but I have confronted them and I am at a point where I share my story. I know that I have a voice and my story deserves to be heard.

The COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is the most destructive and lethal biological disaster the world has ever seen since the Spanish Flu. It has caused a global economic travesty that hasn't been seen since the Great Depression. Many manufacturing companies, businesses and industrial sectors were forced to shut down. Universities and schools had to close. Events and conventions have been cancelled. Entire countries had to close their borders. New sweeping government-sanctioned regulations coerced people into staying home and limiting their presence in public. There are no public gatherings, parties, and get-togethers allowed and people have to wear masks and maintain a distance of two meters or six feet to mitigate the spread of the virus. To this date, it has claimed more than 3.4 million lives and is responsible for over 166 million confirmed cases worldwide.

5 Small Ways You Can Be Part of Mental Health Month
May 2021 is Mental Health Awareness Month. Suicide was already the 10th most common cause of death in the US before the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the impact that the pandemic has had on our collective emotional well-being, there's never been a more important time than now to for all of us to be talking about our emotional well-being.

Two years ago, I was in a fight for my life, and nobody knew it.
I’ve hated myself for as long as I can remember. To say that I had low self esteem wouldn’t even scratch the surface of the amount of self-loathing I had. Why I was the way I was really isn’t as important as what came to be.

Goodbye Kerry
I have been catching up with a ‘colleague’ for about two years now. We meet every Tuesday or Wednesday. At first, it was for a walk around the park with a coconut and lychee smoothie, then it became over a coffee. Now we grab a lunch during our weekly get-togethers. There are texts here and there, but we see each other weekly – always ‘face to face.’

How You Can Be So Right and So Wrong at the Same Time
I’m in the midst of a painful “ah-ha” moment. It’s one of those times when I’m forced to admit that I’m not always as nice as I should be. The good thing about this is that I can change. The bad thing is, I’m not sure I will, but I intend to try. Here’s what’s going on.
