This week has been extremely hard and long. Super busy working and still somehow getting sucked into drama that just shouldn’t include me. As I sit on this Sabbath in a state of rest reminding myself that God only allows what we can handle. We forget that we are made stronger by each and every single event in our life. I know it might seem like a struggle, it sure as hell does feel that way for me. But we must never give up. We must keep fighting. So today I ask you to take time for yourself. Take time to reflect, to mediate, to pray, to speak to God, be one with yourself. Allow healing to come into you and allow God’s power to strengthen you to keep fighting. Because you are loved and you are not alone. Have a beautiful blessed day. ~Emma~

Don’t be afraid
Even if you express your affection to someone and they reject it. Don’t give up, someone else will accept you. So never be afraid of telling someone you like them. It makes you courageous and teaches you accept rejection with grace. Learning and growing is a part of the human experience. We must all learn and grow if not we will never be the best version of ourselves. So never stop growing, never stop learning and even in the face of rejection remember you are stronger today than you were yesterday. Everything happens for a reason, so embrace your chaos. Courage is not found in hiding who you are. Courage is found being confident in who you have become. Grow, learn and be the best version of yourself. Have a beautiful blessed day. ~Emma~
Words to live by
Don’t allow anyone to stop you from reaching your goals. Stay focused and just let them fall to the sidelines. ~Emma~
Never give up
Never stop being the best version of yourself. Many will try to change you. Many will find ways to convince you that you are not good enough. Many will try to let you believe that you are too broken to be loved. Don’t let that thinking keep you from shining the light God put inside you. Instead keep fighting the darkness that is trying to destroy you. Only you can fight that darkness. Only you have the power to keep fighting. Stay strong. You are not alone. ~Emma~
What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?
One- waking up in the morning no matter how crappy I feel waking up makes me happy.
Two- having my first cup of coffee in the morning makes me happy.
Three- spending time with my mom and dad as they get older I know how precious the time we have left is. I don’t take any of that for granted.
Four- my sister. She is my best friend and even when we fight and she doesn’t understand me I know she will always be there for me regardless.
Five- every morning I wake up I thank God for each new day and for the strength to get through it. At night before bed no matter how tired I am I always sit on my bed and just talk to Him. It might sound weird but I never once think He isn’t there with me. I talk to Him like he is the only one that will ever truly understand me. He is the only one that will ever truly love me the way I am. And honestly that is the happiness moment each day I have.
What book could you read over and over again?
Well I read Dune I am still going through the whole series. I can see myself reading that again. Lord of the rings, flowers in the attic, all the books in that series I have read. but my favorite book will always be the Bible I have read it more than any other book over and over again.
What animals make the best/worst pets?
Dogs are the best pet. The only downside of dogs is their life is extremely short. So when you lose them it’s truly heartbreaking. Dogs are like kids but they never grow up which is good and bad. Good because they always will rely on you for everything. They are toddlers that never age. The bad side is they never grow up so they will need you and it’s extremely expensive for their healthcare the older they get. But totally worth the experience of having loved a dog. No matter how many have passed over the rainbow bridge I never hesitate to get another one. Because it is truly unconditional love you give them and you receive from them. They might be a tiny moment in your long life but for them you are the only world they know. That for me is absolutely priceless.
How would you improve your community?
In the mental community I would like to keep spreading positivity and trying to encourage others to seek help. Many don’t seek help because they are afraid of being labeled. Also they will be considered weak. Not to mention the amount of people that refuse to get help because they will lose their right to bare arms.
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
I started paying attention to politics right before Trump got elected. But after COVID the tyranny I saw happening during that time by some of our politicians really changed the way I view freedom. God gave me my rights not the government. Politicians have the power We the People give them, it’s time for We the People need to take the power back. Because it’s clear the government can’t help us. It must be our responsibility as Americans fight for our freedom and our rights. I also learned during the COVID thing is life is short and we must embrace the beauty of life before it’s gone. Be the change you want to see in the world.
Mental health
Honestly I am so sick of this attack on anyone that calls out mental illness. I refuse to be silent and I refuse to allow others to tell me what they think I should say. I have suffered for many years with mental illness. It’s not my fault y’all want to continue allowing ppl to step on you because you refuse to call it out for what it is. A turd is still a turd no matter how pretty you dress it up. You talk about compassion, you speak about being kind well allowing a mentally ill person to not get help for their delusion isn’t compassionate at all. You are part of the problem you are the reason many won’t seek the help they need. Afraid you might offend someone at least be honest with yourself. This isn’t about helping it’s about being afraid of what others will label you. Well I tell you as I sit here writing this you can call me whatever you like. I refuse to allow anyone to put me in a box or label on me. I am not afraid because God has my back. The fact that y’all can’t even call a mental illness for what is it makes me know for a fact y’all are on the wrong side of history. There is nothing wrong with being sick it’s about getting help and finding ways to deal with life in a healthy way. If you can’t speak that truth you are completely in the darkness and there is no helping you. Not because you can’t get help but because you have chosen to stay in the darkness. ~Emma~
