Jehovah Nacham

I experienced my first anxiety attack at 16 years old...but at that time it wasn't something talked about like it is now. I had actually never in my life heard of someone struggling with anxiety. I didn't know it was a struggle come to think of it, I didn't know what it was. I just knew I was very afraid, and I couldn't explain why. I was shaking, red, and hyperventilating for no reason at all. I finally told my mom and we settled on calling it a nervous stomach because that was the prominent feeling.

Its helped me with my struggle today even more than back then. This week ha

The Butterfly Effect

Hey y’all  I wanted to post this post on the New Year but I guess life has been getting in the way.  No promises but I’m going to try to post at least once a week from here on out.  I saw this picture and it spoke to me. The last couple of years have been rough to say the least finding yourself is never easy. But somehow I’ve seemed to stumble along my way and back to where I belong.  Something I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned I have a tattoo on my shoulder of a butterfly. I originally got the piece done because of some quote I saw when I was young something like “ A butterfly doesn’t know its own beauty because it can’t see its wings” something like that. I struggled with self esteem issues my entire life so I got that done so when I saw it I’d remember that I was Beautiful even when I couldn’t see it.  Now 7 years later it means so much more to me it’s reminded me to give myself time because a butterfly doesn’t just pop up a butterfly it takes much time and work to get fr
