Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Focus on the Destination, but prepare for the Journey
Have you ever had a morning where everything just went right? I have. I am talking a hop, skip and a jump from fairytale. Birds almost singing at my window as i didn't have to fight with my hair, eyebrows almost like twins, close sisters at most and the 3lbs i lost seemed to help that blouse sit just that little bit better on my shrinking belly. I mean this morning was just great. I was ... feeling myself. Not literally, but feeling good and optimistic about the day ahead. I had to go into the office and even though its a germ trap i felt OK about it. I had a my coffee in my travel mug , sun is shining. I was looking like the cocoa Esmeralda as my bouncy peruvian bundles tumbled onto my shoulders. I mean i was serving hair and FACE hunnty! So I placed my manicured size 8s into my diamante strappy wedges. Grabbed my light jacket, my work bag, stepped out into the sunshine and locked the door.

SHE IS...
Rainy days had always been her favorite over sunny days. She had become accustom to the darkness that lived inside her since that night. Never knowing what love was she had learned the way of her body than the way of her heart. She was petite and sometimes hated her bird legs and how skinny she was. But none the less of how she looked at herself someone else saw different. Her trust was easily attained but naive and gullible she knew nothing of the darkness that would one day attach to her.

Human.
To be completely honest, I was giving up on writing. I didn’t feel like I wasn’t good enough. I was losing motivation. I have a notebook and inside of it are so many little writings I could not finish. My garbage was getting full with ideas I felt like was stupid. So I took a break.

I'm coming out.
I have a big secret to tell. The biggest of my life. I have a secret that is the root of my triggers, the root of my depression, the root of my shame. I have a secret that chokes me and eats me alive. At my lows, I am gasping for air, I am drowning in sadness and despair. Hoping the secret will just...go away.

5 Simple Practices to have hold over Anger
Can you think of a time when you saw a toddler throwing tantrums in the middle of a mart, or a professor being intolerant than usual or a friend being rude for no reason at all. All of this does not necessarily but many times depict the signs that people are angry. Anger is a natural emotion that we all possess which is characterized by feelings of annoyance, displeasure and antagonism. Psychologists often define anger as a complex state of mind that may have variety of forms. As each and every individual is distinctive from each other, the way they react to things and show anger also differs.

Conquering Your own Darkness
In the lonely darkness I go in search for something familiar. A friend, a lover or a family member. Someone where I can release the stress I go through. Like a well I fall in wishing to find an escape. I see glimpse of light & think of ways out but at last I never moved. My darkness was always there.

Diving Deeply
I just turned 64. I don't feel 64. In my mind, I feel like I am 18. I was a wife and mother from the time I was 19 until just recently. Of course I was married 3 times, but I kind of just went from one confusing and dysfunctional marriage into another.

Jelly Juice
It had been months of just busy. Work was busy, home life was busy. I wasn't getting much sleep. I hadn't had the time to catch up with friends, or go for meals and drinks. I hadn't seen a movie at the cinema for as long as I could remember. I hadn't even attempted to shop, unless it was food shopping; and even that lately was done online.
