Let’s not use “keeping it real” as an excuse to be mean. Having your own opinion is important. But knowing if/when you should share it is even more important. Choose kindness and mercy.

You know the symptom(s) you’ve been ignoring that just won’t go away, get it checked out. Listen to your body trying to alert you that something is wrong. Don’t wait until you are in crisis mode. Preventative health saves lives. #wellness #preventativehealth

When someone is struggling with a trauma or in a crisis, it’s not really helpful to say “I don’t know how you do it”. They do it because they have to! What else should they do, give up on life? It comes from a good place but instead, try saying: “how can I support you?” #trauma

Dear empaths:
You can have empathy for someone’s traumatic past, without tolerating their abusive behaviors in the present. Maintain your boundaries. Prioritize your own mental and emotional well being. #mentalhealth #boundaries

Solitude is not isolation. Solitude replenishes while isolation diminishes. Resist the urge to disconnect from everyone. Allow others the opportunity to pour into your cup if you feel like you can’t. Accept support to help nourish your mind, body and soul. We are better together.

Time does not heal all wounds. The pain does not go away or get better, it just gets buried deeper. It can manifest in unhealthy ways both mind & body. True healing requires conscious efforts to face the pain and work through it. Time on its own, is not a healer. #healing #hope

When morning comes, remember that the sun is shining on millions of starving and sick people, but you are healthy and have plenty of food. It’s shining on millions of imprisoned & oppressed people, but you are free and safe. Count your blessings. #gratitude #hope
