     photo cred: healthyplace.com Hey Loves,     It's been a few months since I've blogged and so much has transpired. Time literally waits for no one and flies by so fast. But by the Grace of God, I am able to say that this year so far has been really good for me and I'm grateful. I want to share something on my heart and that is,  "I'm embarrassed of my loved one with mental illness." The reason why I'm blogging on this topic is because it relates to so many but they are afraid to admit that they are embarrassed of their loved one with mental illness. I want to let you know that you are not alone in how you feel or how you've felt. Because honestly, I've been there... Growing up, I had a close loved one with Bipolar Disorder and as a kid, I was embarrassed of that person. I didn't understand their behavior or mood swings. And at that time as a kid, I didn't even want to understand their behavior, I never wanted to be in their shoes. Until

  Graduated Saturday April 30, 2022 Hey Loves, It's been a moment since I've blogged but so much has happened since I've graduated that it's crazy! But in a good sense type of crazy..like crazy favor, blessings and faithfulness type of deal. God has been opening so many doors for me and literally has been blowing my mind. For those who keep up with my blog, knows that I went through one of the most darkest seasons of my life in 2021 and it carried over to the New Year where I thought I was going to have to drop the Winter Semester and finish my final semester at another time. I was adjusting to new medications for my mental health around January and February this year. It felt like an emotional rollercoaster but it was by the Grace of God that I was able to take on and finish my final semester at Eastern Michigan University with a 4.0 GPA and cumulatively in my undergrad curriculum a 3.47 GPA. I'm extremely thankful for my intercessors and support system who were th

  Recent Headshot of me  Hey Loves,     I was thinking of you tonight. I feel this so heavy on me and I wanted to make sure I didn't wait to write this blogpost for another day but to do it right now. I was chatting with God about a transition I am going to make but I wanted Him to be the head, center and end of it all. I want to make sure I come to God to fill every single void area of my life and make sure it's all Him.  During the middle of the prayer, He inspired me to write this post about constantly coming up empty. So here I am...     Have you found yourself knowingly or unknowingly putting your faith in other things rather than God? It can be your career, relationship/status, friendships, family, degrees, money in the bank account, and any other thing that makes you feel complete in some sense?! But for some of you, even though you may have some of these things, your heart still isn't content. You are constantly searching high and low as why you keep coming up empty

  Photo credit: VeryWell Mind Hey Loves, First, Happy NEW Year! lol It's been a while since I've blogged. The last time I blogged, I wrote about "If you love me, don't say the word "CRAZY"! I shared in that blogpost intimate experiences of me experiencing Bipolar Disorder with Psychosis (out of touch with reality). I am glad that it touched and informed those who read it but I felt I should wait and share those details in my bipolar memoir in the near future. So instead, I thought I would share more on why I checked myself in... In 2021, I went through many losses and changes. Even with making changes to my health, eating right and exercising felt great and was glad to get some things in order but there were a lot of stressors that caused my mental health to turn for the worst. I experienced anxiety to the extreme. With both conditions, Bipolar Disorder and PCOS, you can experience severe anxiety and depression. It was so hard to know which one was working ag
