What do you do that makes you?
9/17/2020 What do you do that makes you? I paint and draw Written by: Kathy Reed There is nothing to do, yes there is Today I sit and think as I normally do. There is just the howling wind and the life that I breathe. Nothing that really tells me left or right. I think that with or without a job that I would be the exact same person. If there was nothing at all to do today, then I would have to see if I had the money to paint or draw. I know that life really just depends on money, so that is the only factor on whether or not that gets done. It seems like after work, I know that what relaxes me is no longer being 20's something and listening to lil' John, unfortunately, no one wants to see my old but shake around any longer.

Healing Trauma to Break Cycles
Healing Trauma to Break Cycles Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that can manifest into toxic behaviors and or experiences that can be carried with someone for years, and can also be passed down through generations if the behaviors were initiated and learned within the family construct. Trauma can manifest in many ways. The most common way we see Trauma is through irrational reactions to external stimuli such as someone expressing something that someone else may not agree with. However, Trauma can been seen in all aspects of our lives. For example, perhaps you grew up with a mother who was made fun of for being poor as a child. So as an adult, raising her children, she may have required you to be dressed to a T at all times, including being too dressed up, at the wrong times. We may not see this as Trauma at the time, until we become adults and are dressed in our Sundays best even at the grocery store. Trauma can also cause PTSD which is a Mental Illness characterized by flashbacks or constant, uncontrollable thoughts of traumatizing experiences, causing debilitating anxiety and fear of the unknown. Ultimately, Trauma is the leading cause of the pain we feel, the pain we suppress, and the pain we project on to others. Hurt people, do in fact hurt people. This means, it is every ones responsibility to heal our personal trauma to break the cycle of pain for our generations to come. How do we heal Trauma? Here are three ways to begin to heal Trauma and break cycles.

Your happiness could also be dependent on how helpful and kind you are to others, the warmth of your heart is the generosity of your character. No matter which one happiness is based on, it doesn't work without a smile, and laughter, the delivery of your generosity matters.

What does “self care” really mean?
2020 is definitely a year where we are all thrown onto the wagon of uncertainty regardless of our own freewill. Despite the many heart breaking moments of this year, we are still hanging in the midst of this storm. We were so used to wake up to know exactly what we plan to do for the day ahead of us. We are accustomed to be in control from the moment that we are born. But there are so many things not in our control in life.

Find Your Inner Queen
Every female struggles with finding herself and it takes time for us to figure out who we truly are. I struggled for years and years trying to find myself. When I was younger, I always tried to fit in and be like everyone else. Unfortunately, this led me to make up dumb lies just so I could have similarities with others. As a result, I ended up getting bullied because of my lies and I started to hate myself.

The Best Youtuber: Mr Beast
I felt really drawn to put in my recommendation or nomination on who my favorite youtuber is. I wanted to really show my appreciation and my respects on why I think the Mr Beast youtube channel is the best. First of all he has won awards the past 2 years for breakout creator and youtuber of the year. He is well deserving of them and I am sure he will continue to win awards for the content he puts out and creates for his audience. He has an excellent team of helpers, great professional video editing, and a great support of friends in his videos to help him. He started from scratch making videos at a young age, and might I add we are both the sign of Taurus. He has continuously been active on the youtube community platform as well as other platforms to reach out to more people. You can just feel the amount of love and dedication that this person has. Having such a passion for entertaining people, helping people. It feels very genuine, a good, kind person. I have never met him myself but maybe one day I will get to have the chance of meeting him. He is such a hard working person with such a pursuit of making change and having fun while doing it. Currently he has over 43 million subscribers on his youtube channel. He has his own merchandise website. He has been interviewed and featured on news broadcasts and magazine articles. I applaud him and value his presence on this earth. There needs to be more people like him in this world. He has such a fun loving soul. At such a young age, his impact that he has on people, much more than he can ever know. I hope he doesn't stop and continues on his life journey doing amazing things. In 2019 he got involved with an organization project called Team Trees to help fund The Arbor Day Foundation that year the project raised over 22 million dollars with his help. In today's society the young people are really stepping up and helping out in creative ways, using the internet to reach people worldwide. This american YouTuber is credited and notable for his videos of doing expensive stunts and philanthropy. I encourage everyone to check out his videos some of my favorite include a video he made called "I adopted every dog at a dog shelter" It made my heart melt, it is so emotionally kind, the way he goes way out of his way, above and beyond, his generosity, the amount of effort again, thinking outside of the box, making sure dogs get loving homes and get them adopted and giving the people free dog food and supplies. Not a lot of people would do these kinds of things. Some of his other videos include buying a whole grocery store of food and donating it to the homeless shelters, and buying Christmas presents for Children's Hospitals. The amount of money he gives away is astonishing, free money and products he gives away to streamers and subscribers, he has so many fun videos creating games and challenges with money prizes, again showing how much fun he has making and sharing entertaining contents with his viewers. Tipping workers outrageous amount of cash, I am sure he has changed so many people's lives with his help. I wish him the best of luck in life and I hope he continues creating excellent content. I always get so excited to see whats next, he knows how to bring excitement and keep you hooked. Best of luck to his team, keep up the great work. Thank you for letting me be a part of your community and keeping me always laughing and entertained and moved. Continue putting smiles on people's faces. Check out his channel at Mr Beast and support him like he has supported so many people.Don't forget to like, share and subscribe. I hope that one day I can have an impact on someone's life like he does.
