How to heal fully and properly.
The Day I Waltzed With The World
I believe the world is spinning. Of course, scientifically, I know that it is. But I actually felt it myself, once. I was fourteen and my bare shoulders were pressing into a cold, tiled floor. I wiggled my toes, laying in the fetal position, while gravity held me down in a pool of my own vomit. The planet swung me around the sun, in the greatest waltz. I was dizzy and could not get up, but I did not want to get up.

There is Hope!
We get up everyday without living a full life but a partial life not knowing what the day will amount to. Will it be a good day? Will it be a bad day? Will I be able to pay my bills? Are my kids gonna be okay?How am I gonna make it? Stressed about the future. But do you ever ask your self what is my purpose? If I were to die today and my life flashed before my eyes would I be happy with my life? Would I be able to look my creator in the eyes and face that judgement? What if there is really a creator someone who created me? A creator that knows how many pieces of hair are on my head! A creator who created me with a purpose to make a difference in the world and the life of others! What if I am someone that is an important piece to a puzzle and I'm living the wrong life that I was greater than what I've been living?! That you were created for a time like this!

Getting Through Hardships
Life can be challenging, there’s no doubt about that. If you’re going through a tough time right now, know that you’re not a lone because the one thing that we as humans have in common is experiencing the ups and downs of life. Some of us battle our hardships in private, while others go through things that every one seems to know or find out about. But no matter how difficult it may be, I want you to know that everything, including bad times eventually comes to an end. Every one has their own story and that’s part of what makes us unique as individuals. But here’s a secret: YOU decide how your story ends. If life seems to be overwhelming you, this post is for you. Because I want you to succeed and I know that you have the potential to do so. Here are five things to remember while going through life:

Healing Isn't Easy
A lot has happened since I first publicly opened up about the over 10 years of domestic abuse I lived through from age 9 to 19. The biggest change is the fact that I left on a round-trip from Sacramento to Ammon, Idaho on May 3rd, where I'll be staying with my close friends, Izzy and Sarah D.P., and their parents until August 8th.

I Can't Breathe In The Milk Isle
His shirt is sitting on a pile of boxes, which is on top of another pile of blankets. It has been with me for months, since he and I went to a red light party in Brooklyn, back when that was a thing you could do, before over 1,500 people were dead in our state alone, back before this month, which honestly feels like a year. He tells me he is in the hospital; he is the second person I know to have it, and he could die. I picture his body, the times when we have gone out to eat, and he had eaten piles of pancakes, a whole Chili’s sampler by himself. I’m not skinny, but he is different. It never bothered me, until this moment, where my too vivid writers mind can picture him, his short black hair, his face underneath an oxygen mask, the blue too thin blanket over his too big body. And it makes me sick to my core.

The Time I Needed
My boyfriend took this picture of me at the Naples Botanical Gardens about a month before the stay-at-home orders began being issued. We had both been busy working, so this was the first chance we had found to do something fun together. We spent the whole day walking through the gardens feeling happy and a sense of freedom as the weight of the daily grind slowly lifted off our shoulders. No one was wearing a mask and gloves. No one was concerned about staying six feet away from each other. Everyone was walking around just enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful flowers blooming all around us. I think back to that day and it still makes me smile, when I remember how amazing it had been to enjoy being alive again.

You Exist And You're Heard
I'd like to say thank you to someone special, who's struggles and hard work goes unrecognized a lot of the time. They stay up at night, drowning in thoughts of the past, hurtful memories from a painful once was. Still they wake, making it through yet another day for yet another paycheck. Working day to day and struggling with such heavy personal issues can be such a hard and draining cycle. Working hard day in day out to make money to pay for the simple things in life just to get by, but not having time to mentally and physically heal not just from work, but also their own personal life. No matter who they tell though, still they feel alone at the end of the day, because the reality is they’ll have to learn themselves to heal and move on. At the end of the day, they're going to have to be the one to drag themself out of that dark hole they're in, because they know they need to. Not just for themself, but for their mother, sister, brother, companions, those who are looking up to them and relying on them. This person is me. This person is my mama. This person is my friend. This person is someone out there, who's probably struggling with heavy burdens too, feeling trapped in the same way, in the same cycle.

The Last two Years
Just recently, I celebrated my two year wedding anniversary. I'm sure since my last post, you all have wondered where I have been and what I have been doing with my life. Let me tell you, the last two years have been quite the rollercoaster ride. And I have to say, personally, I do not like rollercoasters. But, thus is life.
