People are going to judge you, #MightyTogether #Diversity

No matter our physical or mental capacity, it’s just their opinion. Our strength in us and it’s ours. #MentalHealth

Graduation Time #Neurodiversity #ChildrenWithSpecialNeeds #Diversity

This is graduation time . One more post on this. There are kids who get into great institutions for furthering their education . They need to be celebrated for all their hard work and are rightfully done so!!

There are also kids who will be sacrificing furthering education to be able to help their family or themselves. There are kids who will be working on other life skills that furthering education goes to back burner . There are kids who will be healing and getting better to be able to further education some day. There are kids who will be fighting for their rights . There will be kids trying to break free from ‘non speaking’ prison to communicate and then go to schools that understands their intelligence. Kids may choose to go to a job , go do other great things or not do much!

I hope we all celebrate our kids for being amazing and for anything and everything they chose to do after highschool until it is kind towards themselves and others!

Does IT get better ❤️‍🩹

#Recovery #Striving #Surviving #thriving #Hope

So this is for you out there we don’t know what your going through. Today we wanted to say hey IT is what IT is isn’t IT and NO IT is not ok and that is ok. You are allowed to show your feelings you are allowed to express yourself and share your feelings. This is all hard for all of us and we are all extremely tired and exhausted from everything that happened and is happening.

The one message we would like to convey is you are not alone you matter you are important and yes you are worthy!

This is a message of Hope don’t opt-out don’t punch out don’t give up you are so much more then what you are going through.

You never know who your going to help or who will help you we are helping because people have helped us.

ACT DBT CBT EMDR Mindfulness +++++++

Sometimes IT takes so much just to find out what how why when where that you never new or was aware that people care.

You know what get up get out of that toxic fish tank and get into a fight or flight for you as you are the only one that can save you. Sorry tough love we had to say IT.

When you are surrounded by therapy and supports be IT a virtual therapist, peer group or even a volunteer commitment you change the equation of you.

So if you can change the equation you can escape the loop. If you escape the loop you can do so many different things that are good for you.

Look we know this is for someone out there…

Maybe your drinking maybe your smoking maybe your coping just to get to tomorrow using or even being abused. We send our hugs cause you can survive and you can get out. We won’t lie IT is very hard. Sometimes you need a 6 month break that’s an option. Yes you are putting life on hold and yes things may fall apart but is not everything already falling apart if your in this situation? Personally this road has been travelled. The point is don’t give up don’t surrender don’t give in cause you never know who is out there.

Someone needs to hear this message you perhaps or maybe a connection that is going through IT.

We would like to send hugs big hugs cause you can do IT! Yes you can! God Said so with help. So that means you don’t have to do IT alone.

We ask you to consider if you choose your present who can you help? If you choose to continue who will need you to be there for them in there time of need. A total stranger in a store a parking lot walking on a street or even in a support group. Someone somewhere needs you.

We hope this helps someone know you are appreciated you are valued and yes you are missed.

We send #Love #Support #Hugs }{ #ChronicDepression #suside #Anxiety #Addiction #ChrinicPain #Divergent #Diversity #ADHD #ASD #Autism #Fibromyalgia #BackPain #ChronicIllness #MentalHealth #illness

Diversity #Depression #Anxiety #Hope #Diversity #Relationships #PTSD #MentalHealth

Today we walked along the boardwalk at Hove in England. The funky beach huts were all different colours. Some appealed to me, some different. And that is ok.

Humanity seems so obsessed with complying and fitting in. Yet, we are all unique and that is not only ok, it’s wonderful. Be you, everyone is taken.

City Council Approves To Prefer #Kindness

🗣 - "Good for you, everybody, all you elected officials. Trying so hard to make an eight or nine, or whatever dumb page amount, document to say, "Hey, be nice to someone else." But we're not going to define what "nice" is, so then we don't get in trouble for it."

03:37 - Fascinating video! I like that you said you had to accept yourself. You didn't say anything about workouts worth the effort yet. Can you do a video when you talk about your workouts to help a girl out? Thanks.

10:57 - I've been on HRT for almost a week, and my chest is growing, but there's some shrinking I'm not comfortable with. In your experience, does the D shrink or the B's? I got told that it would be the testes, but it's not the case for me, so how is it for you?

18:36 - Are there other cities that you know of that have policies better than what got presented?

Travelling, Being Left-Handed & More!

🗣 - "I don’t want to get political. I don’t wake up and say, “I’m gonna get political today.” Like, that’s not my goal. But I know that if I want to have a life, I have to fight for my life. Who says that? Ask yourself! How many of you watch this right now and know that you have to fight for your life when you wake up? Your right to live, your right to employment, your right to safety, your right to dignity. How many people wake up and tell themselves those are things they need to do today. And I don’t even do that for myself. I do that for other people. I do that for the kids."

Hallway Conference - Creating Truly Inclusive Events

📺 - www.youtube.com/watch

On Hallway Conference, and in observance of #transdayofvisibility , Carrie Simpson from Managed Sales Pros spoke with me about creating safe spaces for everyone at events and conferences!

I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to share time with her to discuss creating inclusive events, especially on an important day like #tdov . Please enjoy the episode, like it and share it on your socials, so others can have an opportunity to watch it too!

(Subscribe to MSP's channel while you're there - Carrie's got some great sales & marketing content to enjoy!)

🗣 - "I hope you'll take some time to listen. We can all use our influence to encourage event organizers to consider inclusion & safety when planning events. No one should have to choose between their safety or mental health & pursuing career opportunities." - Carrie Simpson
