Happiness 

This morning I was reading my daily word before starting my day at work. I haven’t blogged in a few months because I have been busy enjoying life. Before I went to bed last night I thought I am exhausted and I have to be at work in the morning, but I glanced over and I felt a great feeling coursing through my veins. I felt happiness, love, peace, and excitement about a lot of things and what the future holds. My patients ask me all the time “How do… Read More »Happiness 

HAPPY SOCIAL WORK MONTH

This week I celebrated the 7th anniversary from when I submitted my first research proposal and presented at NASW-LA in Baton Rouge, LA.

Friday night I had a conversation with someone that I have been missing. I explained that I was starting to make some changes because I have been working too hard. I expressed that this weekend I had no plans on leaving my house because I wanted to rest and lounge. On Sunday, I sent him a text message stating that I thought about his words, and I took the time just to relax and lounge all weekend. It was nice to sit around in pajamas all weekend and watch television.… Read More »Daily Inspiration

Daily Inspiration

The past two nights I have been talking with someone about pain, hurt, love, and how to heal from your past. Yes, we all have been hurt and have walls built up but it is important to open your hear to the universe. Let it bring you love and comfort. Let it bring you healing. Let it take you back to your past long enough to heal, so you can move into your joy.
