I WISH SOMEHOW I COULD FLY
Depression feels like a whirlpool that is hard to swim out of. I will not drown as long as I can breathe. It’s just very tiring. I once looked forward to speaking publicly and singing, but now it seems almost impossible. I want to “stay safe.” Continue reading →

THE SONGBIRD – PART 2
Music was her freedom. She never stopped singing and her songs became her prayers. With her songs she flew; each one gave her wings. Her heart soared with the gentle melodies and words that God had sent to heal her. As she healed in her tiny cage, she dreamt of flying and sharing her beautiful songs all over the world. She just knew that someday she would soar freely with joy and never live in a cage again. Continue reading →

DO NOT SUCCUMB-PART 2
Sometimes I miss is the deep love I received from my parents. No one loves us like our mother and father. But I feel them with me and just because they’ve died, I still feel important and valuable. Their love hasn’t died!” Continue reading →

SOMEWHERE I CAN’T SEE
When I sing my song, I am reminded of god’s love, because I have been blessed by inspirational music to help me. But most importantly, when I sing my song I am reminded that self-love is the answer. I won’t drown in misery! Continue reading →
