It’s been a year since I’ve started phase 2 of my mental health journey. After doing what I could do on my own I finally caved in and started counseling and antidepressants last fall.

As the month of June comes to an end, I thought it would be a suitable time for an update on my journey to peace. So much has happened since my last Chasing Peace update seven months ago, but I’m going to just give the cliff notes to my peace journey. As I mentioned … More 3 Seasons of Antidepressants and Counseling. (Chasing Peace pt 5). (Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Buspar)
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about our intuition. For most of us we get this feeling deep inside of us before any decision we make, whether major or minor.

In other words, if I asked my … More Words carry weight, but that doesn’t mean I should let them weigh me down.
Last year was one hell of a journey! There were so many lessons and life changing moments. I’ve learned more about myself and embraced the need for change.

I know I’ve been away for a while and honestly; I wish I could say it was for any other reason than the same reasons from these last couple of years.

Recently I watched a video of Jay Shetty’s Podcast on YouTube.

The discussion was filled with gems and my first thought was how I need to write … More Watch this Before You Start Dating!
In a few past posts over the years, I’ve spoken on Strength. I’ve mentioned how even in moments when we feel like we’re weak we are actually strong. We equate tears and breaking down from time to time to being weak, but every time we get up that shows how strong we actually are. … More Stronger than you think, Tougher than you believe.
I feel like I’m currently in this transitional period between comfort zone and ready to soar. You know the moment when people are constantly poked and pushed until they finally start to fight back? Well, that can happen with life as well. It can feel like life is pushing you and pushing you until … More When Desperation Occurs, the Beast Emerges. (The Surge of Determination You Feel Once Life Backs You into a Corner.)
As a person who initially hated change, I must say that I’m hoping for a wave of change to come through. Not just any change of course, but some good change. So much has gone wrong and I’m just ready for something new. Lately I’ve been yearning to move to a new city or … More I Was Never a Fan of Change, but Now I’m Desperate for It.
