If you have been following me for years or for a few months or a few days, thank you. Thank you for being here; for being a part of this community and for allowing me to share my art, my words, my photography, and my loves. I hope this new year will grant you what you need and bless you endlessly.

It takes a few seconds to wish someone well. It takes a moment more to send a smile or a thoughtful phrase in time of need. I hope you will move toward positive interaction this year as opposed to negative and combative behavior; whatever the situation/cause.

There have been far too many lives lost and senseless deaths these past few years. I want to see more love, less hate. I wish to experience more kindness, and less rude antics/responses (in life & in general), and I want to live more freely with less fear.

I pray you have the strength to tackle whatever may come your way during this new year and you will share some of that strength with others when you know they are feeling weak and are not their usual strong-willed and healthy selves.

2024, walk with us. Guide us accordingly. Fill us with testimonies by which others will be moved and shaped positively. I speak this over me, you, and your family and friends.

Peace and blessings. Happy New Year!

If Only We Could Be Like Them

The Little Monster commandeered my chair and fell into a deep slumber.

She’s a sweet girl; keeps me laughing and keeps me on my toes.

She is the most loyal being I’ve ever come across and only barks when she’s protecting me or our space.

She lives to love me and I live to love and take care of her.

I think about if we all had the ability to love like many animals love us and we actually displayed this love regularly how peaceful this world could, would be.

If only . . .

A Quote That’ll Stick with Me For a While

The second slide has the “meat” of their post.

I want all violence to end. ALL OF IT. This year has been full of senseless violence or violence for greed and occupation and elite authoritative status.

It’s insane and exhausting to read about and digest.

Freedom is supposed to be free yet it keeps costing so many people their lives.

Isn’t it past time for everyone to just live at and be at peace with one another? Isn’t it?

World Mental Health Day

Study Smarter

I woke up this morning a bit off-kilter with my emotions all over the place.

It’s been stressful at work of late, and I’ve been processing a lot from last year and simply trying to move through everything without completely breaking down.

I haven’t been too successful, but that’s only because I’m stubborn, and I’ve had to be shown I need to take more time away from work.

So feeling all that I’m feeling and knowing I wouldn’t be able to provide my job with 100% of me today, I am taking an FMLA day, and I intend to rest my mind, body, and soul.

Coincidentally, I learned it is World Mental Health Day today. God is always trying to tell us something.

World Mental Health Day (10 Oct) is a day to talk about mental health and show everyone that mental health matters. It’s also a day to let people know that it’s okay to ask for help, no matter what you’re going through.

As the theme of World Mental Health Day highlights, ‘mental health is a universal human right’. That’s why at Mental Health Foundation, we’re dedicated to addressing the inequalities in mental health and working towards good mental health for all, not just for some.

—Mental Health Foundation

If you need this day, please take it. Do not be like me and wait until you’re nearly bursting at the seams from built-up pain and anguish.

Be good to you today.

Peace and blessings.
