Celebrate those who support you.

Despite the name of this episode, every journey starts one step at a time.

Things don't fill voids.

Original song dedicated to recovery

"X" doesn't mark the spot, YOU do.

If crazy means different, that means you're crazy. That means I'm crazy. Welcome to the club.

Keep climbing and dance on grass.

Every decision to start over is a decision to get better. That goes for athletes, artists, students, and those who battle mental illness. Coping skills ARE skills that help people get closer to a goal. In a few short minutes, "Balancing Act" reminds us that self forgiveness is a form of self care. 

My pieces are short, but real and raw. My rock bottom is a place that needs to stay with me as a reminder of where I never want to be again. 

If you battle mental illness, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

If you are in recovery, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

If you are in search of the happiness you deserve, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

If you are someone who supports the above, THANK YOU!
