Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.
Fear and Love
As humans, we have fear and love within us. We look at a baby, and something instantaneously in us wants to take care of the cute and helpless human. A baby ignites passion in hearts that the parents feel a state of love they never felt before. One of my friends stated, “It’s the kind of love you always wanted.” The baby brings the truth of what we are to the light. We all have a beautiful love inside, waiting to come out at the right timing.

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.

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.’
