This blog has been a way for me to sort out truth from fiction - as well as what is helpful or healing for my mental wellness - and perhaps more how it feels coming from a dysfunctional cult-like religious abusive family.
It was a tool I used to bring my tangled thoughts and messed up beliefs.
A blank space that welcomed not only my messed up head, but didn't judge my new ways of being Me.
The blank page is open and always welcome and oh so patient as I type, delete, type and re-write.
Often I start out with a stressful thought.
A thought that won't leave me alone.
Or, I bring what I feel are good books, podcasts and other things that have helped me find my way to a life that brings me peace, love and joy.
I believe we are meant to live lives where our minds, body and souls are at rest.
Rest in Peace is for the living - not the dead.
And, I also believe heaven is here and not when we pass.
Our challenge is to find heaven - the place where our souls can rest.
I don't believe it is a place; but rather a deep feeling of love.
Love of self and love of humanity.
A place where differences blend in an artful array of color and shape.
The tapestry of life holds many threads and we each hold up our part of what being a human being is.
To me, mental wellbeing is when you can be yourself in the reality of life.
The ability to accept what is and who you are completely - creates a soul at rest.
