She was complex– like abstract art. I imagine years down the road her portrait would hang in some fancy museum, surrounded by thick red ropes designed to keep the people at bay. It was no different now, only we didn’t need red ropes to tell us she was unique. Glance her way one time– that power, that thrill– you are bound to feel it

How many of you have had a night out planned, or arranged coffee with friends and suddenly the 4 walls you inhabit seem the only safe haven because it's the only place you don't have to pretend you are ok, so you cancel. Or when you are invited out you tell them how terribly sorry you are but you're already booked up that weekend, when you are actually just really busy holding it together in your safe box. And so the first problem starts, all by itself. People stop asking you and the isolation that at first wasn't true becomes your only truth.
Please don't give up on your friends. Ring them, go round, even when they don't want you to. Because they really do, they just don't know how to say it.
I'm going to make a bet, without being pessimistic, that out of my Facebook friends that less than 5 will take the time to put this on their wall to help raise awareness for those who have mental health difficulties. You just have to copy it from my wall and paste it to yours (hold down on my post and you will be given the option to copy... then go to your status and hold down to paste).
Who will be my 5 I wonder?
🙏

"Today I took a Daily Dose of Juice Plus, Vitamin D, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Carrot Juice, Green Machine, Spirulina, and Blue Green Algae. The last pill I swallowed was a God Vitamin. And this is why I am still alive. Because I took that God Vitamin."

Love is an Action Word. Though it should be unconditional and come effortlessly, I still remain mindful to practice discipline.
The analogy of the requisite relation between a canine and human bond is fascinating. The dog will, does. .. with instinct alone; offer unconditional love. However, the domesticated dog, left untrained without stimuli, without positive reinforcement becomes a hazard to itself and others. By no fault of its own; the animal will wind up in a shelter for months at best, idyllic as we all want; the hopeful impossibility of adoption to succeed. We all yearn to see those lost souls adopted.
Play the tape all the way through.
Switch the creatures. From Human to Dog and Dog to Human .
Research yourself.
All this comes down to several prerequisites.
Purpose. Mindfulness. Intention. Grace.
This video is being posted as a reminder to myself of the bond between human and dog. Call it " How to Dog #101"
If we all could just discipline ourselves to be mindful of others. We all need refresher courses and behaviour modification. We all need boundaries and unconditional love.
Love is an " Action Word" : transitive verb.
Take that adopted dog and train it.Together you both will transition.
All this is based on more than one thing.
But the first was Love. I fell in love with a Siberian Husky.
Training him retrained me.
Try it!
Discipline

" Though they merely twinkle before your eyes and around you; they are messengers of light. Ignore them not as they are Angels. Embrace those twinkles, my lady friends, when you see them in the shower, at sunrise & sunset.
As the sparkles, much like the pearl, require cultivation. Trust intuition. . The tiny spots you see are loved ones passed on; glimmers of hope, to guide and transcend us forward"

The word is the most powerful tool you have as a human; it is the tool of magic. But like a sword with two edges, your word can create the most beautiful dream, or your word can destroy everything around you.''

I really wish that we would recognize that mental health is a spectrum that we are all on. That would diffuse the stigma and allow people to address areas of their life that they are unhappy with. This stigma inhibits individuals from access to tools that could make their life better. It makes me sad to see the suffering in others and it is trying for those of us that don’t mind being pathologized if it helps us meet our needs. I have yet to meet an individual that does not exhibit qualities of one disorder or another in the DSM-5. I do not believe that they exist. Please feel free to prove me wrong.

Thanks for listening.
