Inner Strength

By

                     Strength is not about how big you are or how strong you are.  It's when you think you can't go on. It's when you feel like you can't take another step. It's that inner strength that you reach for deep inside of you that keeps you going. It's when you are both physically and mentally exhausted, yet you are still that shoulder to cry on when a friend needs you. It's what you reach for when you think there is no hope left.  It's what gets you through the darkest moments in your life. You may think you are not that strong It is normal to feel like you don't have that inner strength, but you do it's in every one of us It is a part of what makes us that special person that we are.

Losing Sight Of Who You Are

By
                       In the chaos of todays world it is easy to lose sight of who you are. Do you look in the mirror and not recognize who you are? I'm not talking about physical appearance. Society tells us that we are are suppose to be a certain type of person and to act a certain way. Society tells us that it is not okay to disappoint anyone,  so sometimes we take on more than we can handle. Society teaches us to never say no or to never help someone even though we just can not handle one more thing, because that would be letting others down. We are expected to be like robots or puppets and not ever show our emotions. We are expected to be perfect. If we ask for help especially mental many times we are judged and criticized, because we are suppose to be strong enough to handle anything. We were not created to be perfect. We all fall down sometimes. We hurt. we get angry, we feel overwhelmed, we even feel lost at times. We are human and that is okay. Sometimes we have to say no

Everybody is unique

By
                  I have talked about this before, but it is important to discuss it again.   It used to be that body image was usually something that affected mostly girls and young women, however more recently we are seeing more boys and young men dealing with it. With more access to social media young people are flooded with images of the perfect body. They believe that they have to look like these people. They are also sometimes confronted with hurtful comments. They can feel like they are unworthy or unloved. This can lead to physical and mental problems. This can also lead to depression and eating disorders. This can also lead to them trying dangerous things to look perfect. This can also lead to long term problems. As someone who has and sometimes still do, deals with body image negativity, we have to break the cycle. We should never compare one to another. Everyone is special and unique. Everyone needs to realize that their self worth is not defined by what they look like. Beau

Land of Imigrants

By
      It seems like lately when we turn on the television or read the news all we see is so much hatred and a nation divided. In the U.S. unless you are 100% Native American your ancestors came from another country. Sometimes they came for religious freedom, sometimes because of famine, or just for a better life. Yes sometimes they struggled and were persecuted because they were different, but they did not give up. Have we not learned anything since then? Think about all the contributions they made to this country. Think about how different this country would be and think about how different your life would be if they had been told that you can't stay here and you have to go back.                                                        Our ancestors came to this land filled with hope at a better future not only for themselves but for their children and grandchildren. Our ancestors that came here through Ellis Island, probably one of the first things they saw was the statue of libert
