Know when enough is enough...

My routine OB-GYN care in no way prepared me for the mental onslaught of grief, anxiety, depression and numbness that accompanied my pregnancy losses,

Happy people aren't controlled by the events around them.

These 606 pairs of empty shoes highlight the horrific toll of suicide in New Zealand.

Ive been thinking a lot about suicide lately and what happens for people to choose that route. Ive especially been thinking about men and suicide. Maybe it...s the recent deaths of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington and how such iconic men, men that Ive looked up to... [new post] http://www.theycallmedad.ca/be-a-man-toxic-masculinity/

We'd rather forget about people with mental illness.

Thinking of Charlottesville events? Listen to Brene Brown

What I learned in life is, That no matter how good a person is, sometimes they can hurt you & because of this we must forgive.... It takes years to build trust and only seconds to destroy it .. We dont have to change friends if we understand that friends change.. The circumstances and the environment influence on our lives, but we are the one who responsible for ourselves.. That you have to control your acts or they will control you.. That patience requires much practice.. that there are people who love us, but simply dont know how to show it.. That sometimes the person you think will hurt you and make you fall.. Is instead one of the few who will help you to get up.. You should never tell a child that dreams are fake, it would be a tragedy if they knew.. Its not always enough to be forgiven by someone, in most cases you have to forgive yourself first.. That no matter in how many pieces your heart is broken, the world doesnt stop to fix it .. May be God wants us to meet all the wrong people first before meeting the right one.. So when we finally meet the right one we are grateful for that gift .. When the door of happiness closes, another door opens.. but often we look so long at the closed one.. we dont see what was open for us .. The best kind of a friend is the kind in which you can sit on a porch and walk Without saying a word & when you leave it feels it was the best conversation you ever had. Its true we dont know what we have until we find it, but its also true, we dont know what weve been missing until it arrives.. It only takes a minute to offend someone, an hour to like someone, a day to love someone, but it takes a life time to forget someone. Dont look for appearances, they can be deceiving, dont go for wealth even that can fade, Find someone who makes you smile, because it only takes a smile to make a day better, find what makes your heart smile.. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much.. that you wish you can take them out of your dream and hug them for real.. Dream what you want, go wherever you want to go.. because you have only one life.. and one change to do the things you want to do .. The happiest people dont necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything that comes their way. The best future is based on the forgotten past.. You cant go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
