Author of the to-be-published book “Wacky and Proud of It”. Mother, wife, and warrior. My passion is to write and support those living with mental illness.
We all have a #mind, #heart and #soul wrapped in flesh. We may go through turmoil or just try to #survive normal, what ever the fuck that means. Yet we must remember we are uniquely woven. Only we can choose for ourselves to relish in our own individuality. #MentalHealthMatters
We learn the most about our #strength in the moments when we are at our weakest. We grow the most when there is pain. We grasp the value of love when we lose it. We lean on #faith when we have nothing else. And we mature within the wreckage not in years. #mentalhealth#warrior
I looked back and was amazed at how far I had come. I don't have to wonder or guess how I did it, I know. Without my #faith and #God's love I never would have made it. If I did not have His strength I can do nothing. I am a #warrior and a #survivor because of Him. #mentalhealth
She looked back and marveled at how far she had come. She did not need to wonder how she did it, she knew. Only with #God's help had she been able to power through. For without His strength she could do nothing. #faith#mentalhealth#warrior#survivor#ibelieve#religion
Well the first section of my manuscript has been returned from my #editor. I need to make changes but trying to write at home is impossible. So I have booked a room at a B&B for 2 nights so that after 5 yrs of dedication I can #write "The End." #WritingCommunity#writerslife
The obsessive thoughts - we need to let go of them! As an author I've spent times obsessing over what I'm writing, what people will think, how people will react to my version of the story, etc. I have to let go of it or my story won't be authentic! Do you relate to this?

Just because someone uses X medication or X tactic to fight #depression, doesn't mean it'll work for you. Each person needs to work to find their own bag of tricks. I share mine in my book so others can try and see if they work for them. What's in your tool box? #mentalhealth

The worst part about depression is sometimes you can't pinpoint why it arrived. If we knew the reason for the depression, we'd fix it. It's a lifelong battle my friends! #endthestigma#bipolar#BPD
Authors experience burnout so easily because we put so much of ourselves into our work. If you're a writer prone to mental health issues, how do you practice #selfcare to ensure you don't collapse? #mentalhealth#writerslift
