Seeking help can be scary. Seeking help means admitting to yourself that you cannot do this alone, and that is perfectly ok. None of us are meant to do this alone and it’s ok to get a little help. We all deserve a safe space where we can put our burdens down and bare our soul. We deserve to live and not exist. So ask yourself friend “Am I existing …

We all have that one sacred coffee cup in our collection of cups that no one is allowed to use. Sometimes we break that cup and it crushes our soul so we seek out a replacement cup.

These days Thanksgiving is so over commercialized that folks forget about how the “pilgrims sat down with the Indians for a meal.” Instead we skip the story and go straight to the buffalo plaid table scapes with a perfectly roasted instagramable turkey that is surrounded by a smiling family.

Hey Friends! We all have our hang ups. Some of us love the wrinkles under our eyes while others buy every eye cream they can get their hands on.

After 11 year…
