Here is a links to get your diamond painting before the event https://amzn.to/3JElHjZ or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LC5JPG9/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_263VSG6VAQH5VZKJ9YMR?linkCode=ml2&tag=lifewithfr05e-20 if you like the huge diamond painting like I work on through diamond art club I have a coupon for them on my linktree profile too. I have mentioned before about pandora box meaning anything that has to do with my biological father side. This week I thought I lost contact with grandma again and it truly broke my heart but she reached out and im glad she is some what ok. I ask for prayers her way so she can find the resources she needs to get her out of her situation. Then yesterday I found out a friend from a decade ago passed away and that just broke my heart, people who knew her still held the hope she would get the help she needed before this happens. As I mentioned on the podcast here is a website I found to help those struggling with substance abuse https://www.addictioncenter.com/treatment/ I pray for those hurting in silence and struggling with drugs or alcohol that God puts the right people to be able to help them get out of that life.

On this episode I share information on National Prevention Lifeline if you need somebody to talk to they are there you 24 hours 7 days a week they speak English or Spanish the phone number 1-800-273-8255. I wanted to talk about this because this passed week I heard of two people who ended their journey here on earth and one who had an attempt too close to home. My heart breaks for their loved ones and people who are hurting. I wanted to do a podcast to share things that have helped me and resources to seek help. I share quotes like "your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth" by your tango on pinterest https://pin.it/4Pg9qVh another quote "I want to know that you are worthy of the life of your dreams and the love you seek. The truth is that there's no need to seek this love on the outside because your nature is pure love. When you tap into this love on the inside it will spill out into your life and just like a magnet, bring about everything you desire. You are so very precious and needed in this world. Don't ever doubt that. By Latisha Cotto https://pin.it/2kNavnb last but not least "You deserve to feel the same love you give." By Jaqueline Whitney https://pin.it/47RcCQW. I relay on quotes even til this day to reset my brain for me my mother's love kept me alive God's grace keeps me sane and my boyfriend and his son were my motivation 12 years ago to become a better version of myself. I don't know what to say to people I can only share what I have done for myself in hopes it helps somebody or at least give an idea on what you can work on. To loved ones all we can do is pray send positive energy try to get them help but at the end of the day not a lot of people understand the fights they are struggling in their mind.

On todays episode sponsored by my new affiliate link https://lifewfrancy.poofyorganics.com/ I talk about anger. ANGER is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong. Anger can be a good thing. It can give you a way to express negative feelings, for example, or motivate you to find solutions to problems. But excessive anger can cause problems. Definition by American psychological association. I know a thing or two about anger this year im trying to choose other emotions but work and opening pandora box are not helping lol.
