Another day
I am grateful for the strength I have been given through my time of struggles. The world is a crazy chaotic mess and some people are just plain evil. Each time I am reminded of how mean people can be, I am also reminded how amazing life is. Life is short and it is precious. Many will cause you pain. Work can stress you out, daily activities can drive you nuts. But what I have found is, showing gratitude even for the smallest thing makes it worth fighting for. I have gone through a lot of tribulations in my life. I wake up each morning and thank God for another day. I know I have said this before but it is through His strength I am here. The point is finding things to be grateful for, even when you see nothing but darkness. Being kind, finding someone that was kind to you, maybe by holding the door open while you walked out the store. Waking up to breathe air and getting out of bed, these are things that might be small but always be grateful for. Old friends that make you smile. Laughing with your sister about a silly dog pooping in someone’s mouth. (By the way that’s an actual article she read to me today.) It is in those moments we must be grateful for. Let go of the weight of negativity, people that are mean, people that don’t appreciate you for being you. Find coping skills to help you find a better way to deal with the darkness. Being grateful, seeing the glass half full, try to find the silver lining, I know it’s hard. But you are worthy, find music to make you feel happy or sad. Sometimes a good cry helps. But always keep trying to fight the darkness that wants to bring you down. Going through any mental illness isn’t easy but keep fighting. And always remember you aren’t alone. God is there even if you don’t believe in Him, He believes in you. And I believe in you and I believe you can make it because I am a walking example of how you can get out of the dark and back into the light. It won’t be easy it will be hard. You will have to fight each and every single day but never give up. I am grateful today for my family, being able to get on this blog and write to you. One person might read this and I am okay with that. Because if that one person changes their outlook by reading my words than my job is done. I have been really busy but later today I will do one of my podcasts. It will just be me talking but I do believe it is important to continue reinforcing that mental health is a huge problem and it doesn’t get enough attention. I am grateful I woke up this morning and I am drinking my coffee. Hoping to share some positive thoughts to help or at least make you laugh. Before going through your day find something to be grateful. Grateful for shelter, grateful for a bed, grateful for another day, grateful for food. Check out the YouTube video I made, it’s a 3 min video with music and pictures. You can use it for praying, mediation or just sitting still and calming your thoughts that are trying to make you feel worthless. Start somewhere only you can decide to fight. Write down your thoughts, find the strength to keep moving forward. I can’t make you fight depression or any mental illness. Only you can scream to the heavens and beg for strength. But for now dwell in the knowledge I will be praying for all of you. Let us all wake up with grateful hearts. Have a beautiful day ~Emma~

New Poetry…
The Widow
Lying in bed with a broken heart trying to understand why I am the way I am
Looking to the right and staring at a blank wall with nothing to say
Looking to the left and staring at the pictures that once hung there
Happy faces and smiles from time shared gone bye
How do I escape the pain from not having you here?
How do I fill this empty bed where you use to lay?
I feel my throat closing as I try to breathe in the last scent of you
The sheets still hold the faint smell of us
How do I escape the touch I need so much?
How do I free my mind from the prison I sit in now?
Tears stain my red cheeks
Sadness grabs a hold of me
My breathing becomes labored
How can I get you back?
I stare at the ceiling the sun shines through the blinds
But all I feel is the pain of not having you by my side
Tell me how can I live in a world you no longer live in
How can I go on without you?
I will do anything to get you back
But I know the one place I cannot get you from is the one place you belong
I turn to the dark side of the bed and hold the pillows tight
Knowing in heaven you will be alright

Today…
Some days I just want to give up. Some days I can fight the world.
Some days I just want to be left alone.
Today I wake up with hope that things are going to get better.
Grateful for the blessings and struggles.
Keep fighting the good fight.
Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.
But today you can make a difference even if tomorrow never comes.
Have a beautiful blessed day.

Words to live by
Be the light in someone’s darkness.
To my old clan- Adieu
Adieu
There are no words I can say that will ever make this okay.
There are no words to ever be told to make the truth ever sound sweet.
Lessons are learned from the mistakes we’ve made.
Lies and deceit are ever so instant nowadays.
Loyalty and love dead at the scene.
Words upon the alter sacrificed and slaughtered at your feet.
My love for you upon that slab beaten and battered.
I will take my memories, walk away, while my tears fall and splatter.
But remember one thing it was you I chose day after day.
With nothing left to say sweet goodbye are the last words you will hear me say. —Mizfit Queen aka Emma

Love letters-Always the Huntress
Dear Sweet Love,
I wonder what you are doing right now. So much time has passed since our last real conversation. A year has gone by it seems like time flies right by. I could tell you so much has happened but I know we no longer share any connection. I used to think that maybe life would bring us back together, but if wishes were fishes we would all live in the sea. I am trying hard to forget everything you made me feel. I know it’s for the best and if I am honest with myself I know you did me the favor. You knew I would not be able to let go, so you did it for me. I will never be able to thank you for what you did but I am so grateful. Thank you for knowing me better than I knew myself. The year has been filled with tears, heartache, and pain but it has also been filled with lots of new adventures. Learning to fly is exactly what I needed to do. I will be forever grateful for falling in love with you. Moving forward I look at our time fondly but no longer want to repeat the time spent together. My heart no longer aches for you. I miss your laugh, smile and countless times we spent talking. You even make guest appearances in my dreams. Thank you for being the person I needed and for being the friend that let me go. I look forward to my future and know our paths will never cross again. You will always have a place in my heart even if we never see each other again. My dear sweet darling, I wish you nothing but love and the best.

Found in my tea ☕️
Last night I found the most beautiful words in my Yogi Tea. It goes “There is nothing like you, there was nothing like you, and there shall never be nothing like you.” We are all different, no one knows the others pain or the trials they face. We each face our own journey through this life. I just pray you find the path to happiness.
Take some time…
I spend my Friday nights at home. Shocking I know, I also know what one might think “that’s insane, you’re young go out and have fun”! Yes that might sound appealing to many out there but it’s not appealing to me. From Friday sundown to Saturday sundown I rest. Yes just like the Jewish nation of the Old Testament. I am not Jewish I am Christian but I keep the Sabbath. For me it is a way to unplug from the chaos, the outside world and spend time with The Creator. I don’t watch tv, go on the computer, I don’t go reading any articles online, I don’t even touch my phone, wait that’s a lie I listen to music through the phone so yeah I touch my 📱 phone but that’s it. I read the Bible, different books, listen to gospel music 🎶 soft classical music 🎶 and I just unplug! I am not perfect, I am sinner and I don’t even try and pretend to be “good”. I am a girl just trying to survive in a world, a society that tells her to conform or else. So my words today are take time to unplug. Spend 24hrs no tv, no phone, no computer, no restaurant, no going out to hang with friends at a bar, just unplug. Take time out that is why God made the Sabbath not only to show He was The Creator (one of the main reasons) but also for man. He knew what man was capable of. Work, work, work, play, play, play but what about rest? Take that time out each week to unplug and you will see soon, how happier you are for it.
Thee Lord God Almighty
Lord Almighty, on this damp cold night I thank Thee Oh Lord. Lord this week You have given me the strength to do all the things I needed to do. Lord this week You have awoken me each morning with a smile on my face, no matter the rain or the cold there is always something to smile about. Lord this week You gave me hope, when I speak to You in my quite time with You, I feel Your Presence. Lord this week You gave me a new understanding that no matter what I do The Creator of the Universe shall never leave my side. Lord this week You have protected me and my family from the dangers of this chaotic world. Lord this week You have picked up when I felt defeated. Lord I bow before Thee and Praise You in the Highest for Your Love is Truly Great.
