Happy New Year my Resilient Family! 😘 ➖➖➖ My favorite celebratory 2018 post was from @charmcitypretty stating, "Long story short, I survived." That's exactly how I feel about 2017- I survived grief, pink eye, food poison, and depression. I survived it all with the support and love of my #ResilientFamily so THANK YOU for rocking with me and cheers to new beginnings! 💛😘 #DontDieAfraid #ResilientHealth #ResilientVideos #HappyNewYear2018 (at Northwest Washington, Washington, District of Columbia)

I was gentle with this girl and reminded her how brilliant she is. I never minimized her experiences or told her to second guess her intuition. ➖➖ I believed she was capable of anything she committed to and celebrated every accomplishment. I never lost patience with her or tried to tame her energetic spirit. ➖➖ When did I stop breathing life into this girl? I think it was in middle school but I can't pinpoint exactly when. ➖➖ I started comparing her to others and whispering lies in her ear that she wasn't good enough. I made her cry and become self conscious of the smallest things. ➖➖ I dimmed her light but it wasn't intentional. I promise, it was honestly a mistake. I've apologized to her but now it's time to do the work and reverse those negative thoughts she's been fed. ➖➖ Now I remind her daily to have faith and not rush her progress because everything will come together in God's timing. 💛 ➖➖ #MHSummerReFRESH entry for the past two days. If you haven't written a piece yet, what are you waiting for? Be creative and show me what you got! ➖➖ #DontDieAfraid #LoveTheSkinYoureIn #MinorityMentalHealthAwarenessMonth #BlackMindsMatter (at Washington, District of Columbia)
