“If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather. Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.” ― Stephen Fry We often wear so many hats that sometimes we get lost in the process. For the past few months I’ve been having a hard time finding my center. My balance. So many changes have taken place in my life and instead of facing them, I’ve been burying myself in my work load. As a result, I lost myself underneath the weight of it all. I forgot about my self-care and slowly…

Recently I shared via periscope a personal experience. At first I wasn’t going to make a blog post about it but then I realized that just like me, many women suffer in silence and it’s time we break that cycle. Having a miscarriage isn’t anything we should be ashamed about and even though we may not always know how to control the emotions we feel doesn’t mean you should have to go through it alone. It’s sad. It hurts and something it doesn’t feel better no matter how many months has passed but together we can end this cycle of shaming ourselves and silent suffering. Wednesday, August 16th 2017 Regret. Anger. Confusion. Broken. Numb. Those are just a few words to describe how I felt when the doctors came in and said “You had a miscarriage.” The day I found out I was pregnant I think I was more nervous…

“Forgiveness is for yourself because it frees you. It lets you out of that prison you put yourself in.” -Louise L. Hay Forgiveness is the key to self-love. I didn’t want to jump right into it at the beginning because it’s so much more than just letting go. I grew up in a strict church environment. Growing up in Jamaica, from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday were dedicated to praise and worship. I knew what forgiveness was, I read about it and I understood you should forgive people if they hurt you because the bible said so. As my mom would say “what would Jesus do?” I was taught forgiveness was necessary in order for our heavenly father to forgive us. According to the bible Matthew 6 vs 14-15 “14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But…
