May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
So this month I will be talking MORE mental health than I already do to spread awareness and bring it up as much as I can.
Share my own story.
Whatever comes in my brain will be here.
I recommend this website if you are looking for a great resource to reset for a moment. https://twloha.com/self-care/

Have you ever heard of To Write Love on Her Arms ?
I remember them coming up when I was a teenager many moons ago and I have always thought they were a great cause.
TWLOHA was started by Jamie Tworkowski in March of 2006.
You can read the story of TWLOHA here – https://twloha.com/learn/story/
“Our founder, Jamie Tworkowski, didn’t set out to start a nonprofit organization. All he wanted to do was help a friend and tell her story. When Jamie met Renee Yohe, she was struggling with addiction, depression, self-injury, and suicidal thoughts. He wrote about the five days he spent with her before she entered a treatment center, and he sold T-shirts to help cover the cost. When she entered treatment, he posted the story on MySpace to give it a home. The name of the story was “To Write Love on Her Arms.”“
and the rest was history…
TWLOHA is even having a virtual/in person 5k on May 25th if you’d like to sign up – https://twloha.com/moveforit5k/
Make sure you take time today to celebrate you.
The things you love.
To unplug and enjoy what’s around you.
You deserve it.
