“My hand is at the small of your back; I may let you stumble, but I will never let you fall.” — Maya Angelou

January is Mental Wellness Month, a time to honor emotional care, healing, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. Dr. Angelou reminds us that we are not meant to navigate life alone — that support, love, and compassion can hold us steady even when we falter.

Caring for our mental well-being is not a weakness. It is an act of courage, trust, and self-preservation.

You are allowed to stumble. You are never meant to fall alone. 🤍

Manipulation isn’t always obvious.

But the effects are.

The more mixed-up you feel, the easier it is for someone to keep control.

The truth is simple: if you constantly feel lost, second-guessing, or doubting yourself… that’s not love.
Step back, see it clearly, and stop playing by rules that keep changing.

As we end this year and move into a new one, this is such a powerful reminder and perspective that applies not only to external love but should apply to internal love as well.

Such a powerful message for this time of year. It is difficult to stay grounded in reality this time, really any time of year with advertising that is intended to influence us “be more” when we are enough!

If this season has felt quieter, heavier, or more confusing than you anticipated, it doesn’t mean nothing is happening. It means something important is rearranging. Growth doesn’t always look like forward motion. Sometimes it looks like clarity. Sometimes it looks like peace. Sometimes it looks like finally letting go. 🖤
