September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Suicide is a leading cause of death in Utah, but it can be one of the most preventable.

If you’re thinking of hurting yourself or know someone who is, there is help available. Call 1-800-273-TALK for help.

“I also needed to hear other women's stories in order to see and embrace my own. Sometimes another woman's story becomes a mirror that shows me a self I haven't seen before.” @suemonkkidd #WomenSupportingWomen #storytelling

Sharing my thoughts on love, and why unfollows and comments like, "Shut up and stick to your research" won't keep me from pressing on with purpose.

I have really enjoyed playing around with #sixwords #memoir this week. One more just for fun:
Dr. Pepper will save your life.

Today’s #sixword memoir:
I am a work in progress. #cnf #writingstudent #amwriting #healingtrauma

[Sara Aird @SaraAird]

For my #cnf class this semester, the first assignment is a #sixwords memoir challenge. My first cracks at it: #rewriting the story I was given or My life story: Returning to myself. #sixwordstory #complextrauma #traumahealing

[Sara Aird @SaraAird]

One way I uncover the #grief of what I’ve #lost is when I can finally recognize what I’d hoped for, what I longed for. Grief is the cavern in between what is and what could have been. #tinytruth #traumahealing

[Sara Aird @SaraAird]

Today I learned that one definition of #broken is violently separated into parts. Shattered. If you’ve tried to heal from #cptsd, meaning #childhoodtrauma, you know this definition in your bones and in your soul. I have been violently shattered into parts. #tinytruth #fragmented

[Brené Brown @BreneBrown]

It’s been 150 days since Breonna was murdered in her home. Too often Black women who die from police violence are forgotten. Let’s stay loud, keep demanding justice and SAY HER NAME.
