Six Hearts, Four Paws and One Rae of Hope

Sometimes we learn through little trials but sometimes they are huge trials. In our family, we had some huge trials. I will be sharing my personal and family story of mental illness and the littlest spark of hope that Jesus placed in my heart during that incredibly dark time. Hope was kept alive in our family by a sweet angel pup. She helped us to focus on her instead of our dysfunction and this changed us in a very profound way, redirecting our future. We all know that we cannot change our past, but we can learn from it for a brighter future by finding proper perspective, self-care, an understanding friend/peer/mentor and simply being open to change. We always hear about our physical health, but it’s time to start talking about our brain health, which houses our emotions and/or mental health. You can’t change the brain you were born with, but you can improve it for a brighter future!
