Finally!

So it's been a rough but very exciting week. I had a summer cold, which is never fun. However, during that time I didn't have any anxiety. Pretty sure that I just felt so horrible that my anxiety was so minimal compared to my cold that I didn't notice it. I will take that win. #celebrateyourwins

The exciting part though...my non-profit is up and running. Not that we are really doing a lot yet, but it's the fact that we are doing it. We have a long way to go but our focus now is networking and getting our partnerships built. 

Our goal is providing financial funding to those with economic hardships to obtain the mental health care they deserve. Project Mental Health Freedom is a non-profit here in Colorado to help with the financial aspects of Mental Health Care. So many people, even with insurance coverage, can't afford the out-of-pocket costs of their mental health services that they need and deserve.

The goal with this non-profit is to help provide funds for people in need. Nobody should go without the therapy or medication they need just because they can't afford it.

Today was our first day "up and running" so to speak. We have our social media presence started and will continue to grow that. I am currently working on our website which I hope to have up and running shortly (projectmentalhealthfreedom.org). This is very mentally exhausting as well as exciting.  #pmhfreedom

I am so driven and passionate about this cause that even though I know there will be many hurdles along the way, and I welcome them. Hurdles were always my favorite in track. Plus any bump in the road along the way, will be a good time to take a step back and look back at what we have done so far and visualize what is to come. 

My OCD will be in overdrive and my anxiety will be at all time high levels, but both for a good reason. To be honest, I welcome it in these situations because something major is happening people! 

Stay focused on your dreams and goals; you'll get there! Even though you might have to crawl through the mud in a few spots and slip right through others, it will happen. Mental health goals are the same as any other goal, we have to work at these to see them happen it doesn't just happen overnight.

Peace and Inner Tranquility

There are several things that bring me peace and inner tranquility, hiking, kayaking, and riding on the back of my hubby's motorcycle. These are a few that come time mind right now. Today was one of those days where I had nothing but peace. We went for a ride up the Poudre Canyon and during those hours, I had nothing but peace. No OCD symptoms, no anxiety and my ADHD was not even in view. Only thing in view was nature, natural beauty, or God's glory, whatever you want to call it. I had truly found my inner tranquility. It was perfect, other than the few bugs that decided to cover my helmet shield.  If you don't know what this feels like, go find it! Everyone needs to have these places or things that give them this feeling. It could be anything from taking a long bath, reading your favorite poem, or book, or even just sitting in your favorite spot. Take it in, breathe, listen to your surroundings, and enjoy them. Don't let those thoughts, f...

Sad, Just Sad

Last night watching the news my heart broke. I mean the news is always sad anymore, there is hardly any "Good" news on the news these days. On top of the mass shooting in Jacksonville, FL we heard about a 9 year in Denver that took his own life over the weekend.  How does this happen? What is wrong with our world? When I was 9 I was thinking about playing with friends, softball, and handing out with my family. Sure kids were mean back then, but they are even worse today with social media. Back in my day, LOL that is funny I sound like a grandma, anyway....we didn't have social media. It is a great thing, but however it can be used to hurt people. Kids and adults alike, will totally just say the worse things about people to them via social media. Just totally bash them and make them feel horrible; they have no filter and can't be stopped. They just say whatever they want and not think about the ramifications of what they say, and how it might effect the other people....
