  • Put Your Mental Health First

    Did you ever have a terrible headache and then found it went away after a few ibuprofen and some “still time?” Well, when your mental health improves after making it a priority it is kind of like that only instead of the pain subsiding, you become empowered and solutions run through your mind instead of sadness, melancholy, and fatigue.

  • Amazing Vision Blog Carnival

    This is a “magazine” of sorts that features blog posts from across the blogosphere on a given topic. Since starting the carnival, I’ve never had an empty month!
