Day Five

Somewhere I've Been!
My Dad and I on the Maid of the Mist in 2004!
This picture was taken at Niagara Falls in 2004. This was one of my favorite trips because I found the natural beauty of the falls to be very calming and it showed me just how amazing the world we live in really is. I loved the sound of the falls coming into our hotel room at night. The falls are truly beautiful and are one of Gods great gifts to us!

Stay. Find What You Were Made For.

Image
        September is suicide prevention month. A month that is near and dear to me for so many reasons. I have been on both sides of suicide. I have been on the side of being left behind and on the side of feeling my life was no longer worth living. Every year as September rolls around I find myself reflecting and rebuilding. Reflecting on the experiences that have so deeply impacting me and formed who I am and rebuilding into the person I can be; the person I was made to me. Each year a variety of organizations supporting suicide awareness, depression, anxiety, addiction, and mental health put out campaigns to provide awareness and recovery. Each year I look forward to reading the inspiring message these organizations share and the responses of those who are willing to share of themselves and their experiences with mental health. This year I have gravitated towards To Write Love on Her Arms message. The message to Stay. Find what you were made for. A message...

The Art of a Beautiful Life: 30 Days of Inspiration

Image
Today I am starting a 30 day challenge that I found. This challenge is meant to be done in a journal. I have a journal that I do many things in but I felt that this could be a good 'challenge' for me to complete here on my blog sharing the inspiration that I find over the next 30 days through the prompts that have been given and the prompts that I may come up with on my own. I feel that now is the perfect time to do this challenge because of the many things I am preparing to do in relationship to sharing my story and sharing the inspiration that I have found each day in my life. In 30 days I will be sharing my story to empower parents and students to take actions to address depression, anxiety and mental illnesses of many types. To lead up to the inspiration that I hope to share with many people I thought I would share inspiration with you, my readers. I hope you enjoy the next 30 days of posts and inspiration. Don't be afraid to inspire those around you and share you...

Uncomfortably Waiting and Patient Reflection

Image
         I'm confused and you know what that's okay. I don't need to have it all figured out and I don't need to have it all together because lets be honest who really does have it all together. I find myself at a cross roads; a crossroads that could change the very path my life is on and divert me in a completely opposite direction of how I've planned it to be. I'm oddly okay with that which is probably the most mind blowing part for me. I'm okay with the diversions. I'm okay with the uncomfortable because something is oddly comfortable about the uncomfortable for me right now.      This past summer I was beyond blessed to have the opportunity to work with an amazing team of people in writing and organizing a week of  Christian peace education at my church. A week that was filled with so much love, unity, and community. Ever since that week my life has been changed forever. That week made me suddenly become aware of my need to learn mor...
