I keep pushing, because eventhough life’s been lifin’, God has been showing up for me. For that alone, I’m Simply Thankful. If He does it for me, He can do it for you, too. Have a Terrific Thursday on Purpose. Dani💋❤️ Mind, Body, Spirit MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS!!! Defy the Stigma!

The difficult part about healing, is that people don’t understand the mental capacity it takes to lose your independence, while simultaneously, trying to heal. God might be bringing me through this thing with grace, but it’s surely not easy. I’m just greatful that I don’t look like what I’ve been through.  Whatever you do, don’tContinue reading “Healing…IT AINT EASY”

Even with Easter being late this year, the cold weather makes it difficult for me to feel the Spring like, feelings, that are associated with the Easter Season. As theContinue reading “Day 4 Lent 2025 A CHANGE”

Today, on Day 3 of Lent 2025, I give my broken pieces, an apology. Going into prayer, on this First Friday ofContinue reading “Self, I APOLOGIZE”

It’s only been three days, and this Lenten Journey has been extremely difficult. Allowing God to remove my iniquities while intentionally denying the desires of my heart, is a humbling experience. Being repeatedly hurt and heartbroken, my flesh wants satisfaction, but my soul NEEDS to be in alignment with God. Temporary fixes will never suffice,Continue reading “Three Days And Counting”

As I sit here, reflecting on the past two days, I think about how my Lenten Journeys have gone in past years. There have been successful Lenten Seasons, and there have been many that were completely unsuccessful.

The most difficult part about having an amazing personality, is that people don’t see your hurt. The fact is, when you’re a lover and giver, and keep bouncing back, people begin to think you’re a super being, and without feelings. FYI: Empathetic people hurt the most. 😢 Dani💋❤️ Mind, Body, Spirit MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS!!! DefyContinue reading “I HURT TOO”
