Popped up on my personal FB memories page from this date 2016. I still very clearly remember that day. The plans that I thought that we’re going to take me into my future took a huge wrong way turn. I was left with self doubt, regret, and depression. I essentially was paralyzed. This meme popped up on my Facebook and it immediately spoke to my soul. I grabbed a random scrap of paper and just started jotting down things that I wanted to do and envisioned a new future. Essentially planning out my new garden. I took the phrase “grow where you are planted” very seriously that day. Oh, there’s been some weeds and some bugs… But it definitely was a turning point. I hope this meme speaks to your soul today too.

In-Home Counseling Services For You or a Loved One

No matter your age, occupation, lifestyle or background, chances are you’ve experienced struggle or challenges in your life. From anxiety to depression to more unique issues and circumstances, seeking help is the first step to healing. re:create JOY counseling offers In-Home Counseling – right in the comfort of your own home.

Sadly, many people do not receive the treatment they need…either because of transportation issues, scheduling conflicts or challenges leaving the home. This is where In-Home Counseling comes in. The treatment you receive is identical to those you’d receive in a traditional therapist office, but from the comfort of your home.

Benefits:
Convenience - You or a Loved One Has Easy Access to Mental Health Care That Works With Any Lifestyle or Mobility Concern.

Save Time - Limit Your Traveling Time or Dependence on Other People for Transportation.

Comfortable - For Those Who Lack the Ability to Leave Their Home In-Home Counseling is the Perfect Solution.

Cost is usually covered by most insurance plans and private pay is available.

There is an out-of-pocket cost for travel that is not covered by insurance plans. This is based by the time it takes to travel from the office to the client’s home or requested place of session and return trip. Time is configured by tracking and logging actual time via internet sites such as Google or Mapquest to determine travel time.

Even the grief therapist experiences grief. Today is the memorial service for one of the most determined, fierce minded, loyal to those whom he chose to love, powerful man in my life. He was my dearest friends husband, Rick Hoover. You were the damn storm and you fought till the end. I envision you, wherever you are, smoking those damn ci******es and winning at poker. Not to mention Wheeling and dealing and getting the best price out of whatever item you were selling! Thank you for always being there in my corner when I needed your fierceness and wicked smile.

So true.

Nothing makes me sadder than to see people waste their lives consumed by the pain of how they feel they were wronged or victimized.

I realize it's not my journey, it's their personal choice but I've seen the pain it can cause all too well. As a young girl, I was forced to watch someone I cared for give up on their life entirely after loss, and it definitely shifted who have become.

Regardless of whatever loss you have experienced in this life, take time to grieve but please don't forget to pick up and find gratitude and joy in each day. Take time to decide to live again. Remember that bitterness, anger, and hate will consume you and take away whatever happiness you hope to achieve with the days you have left. Holding onto grudges and disappointment won't make your life any better either. Similarly, focusing on what was taken away won't ever bring it back.

The sad truth is this....life will be full of disappointment and pain, it's inevitable, but it's up to us to take personal responsibility for our lives and live to the fullest.

I'm not saying you can't have bad moments or even bad days, just don't let it destroy the rest of your life.

Said with good intentions and love,

Good morning world,

Michelle 💙🙏

It can be tempting to wait and see if your symptoms will go away on their own. But the sooner you talk to someone, the sooner you'll start to feel better.
