words to delete from your vocabulary....todays word depression

Hi blog family!
Hope you had a great weekend, i relaxed...and worked....

I want you to delete this word from your mind as of today: DEPRESSION
this word will follow you through foster care if you get labeled with it, so I want you to delete it from your memory and when a counselor or Dr. says that word, let them know, "I don't get depressed, I have "challenges" like all people do...
Don't let anyone put labels on you and don't give them a reason to, you are bright and strong, no one can hold you down or put a title on you, unless it is positive!
IF you are "challenged" because your just getting to a group home or someone is bothering you, talk to someone, release it, who cares what anyone thinks as long as you know you got it out!
Be willing to talk about whatever does not feel right in your life.....you will feel better and be less likely to use the D word!!

Delete the word...................De..........

thank you, xo

The beginning of the week...

Hi blog family!!
hope school was good today. I know it's monday...just starting a new week. It was rainy and dreary for a while but the sun did try to shine today!!!
When you think of mondays, don't think of it as a bad day because it is the beginning, think of it as a new day to start new things!
I love mondays, everyone else is sleepy, dreading going to work, I am happy to be alive amongst the living and using my brain!
 It is not promised that you will rise each day so when you wake ANY morning and see the day of light, you should be thanking God you made another day.
 This new day, beginning of the week or any time, is time for you to make new plans on how to better yourself: be a better friend, better person, more loving, more giving, do more art, singing, dancing, reading, writing, whatever, just do and be happy you made it to another day!!
xo Tanya
ps. you are loved, special and highly favored!!!
