Do any of you have traditions in terms of "American holidays"? I accidentally ate gluten tonight, full on, completely wondering why my "hummus" was so hard or weird texture. !!!! so far I haven't gotten sick so crossed fingers and prayers for that pleaseee and thank you. it was vegan at least sooo at least I know that I won't get sick from the dairy or anything like that! it can be hard to find joy, but we have to fight for it! seriously its not always natural and with the world the way it is, things are hard. it is hard to go on living a life of your own knowing so many others are suffering and hurting. I...
For all of my neighbors you may have heard about the candle company my husband and I started in 2018 that is encompassed around suicide prevention and mental health.We give 15% back to the AFSP [American Foundation for Suicide Prevention & Awareness] who puts on the walks & are always actively working to get resources and track analytics as far as impacts and causes regarding the epidemic of suicide prevention and awareness. We chose them because they area non profit and very transparent about where all their resources go and we felt that they were making major headway in breaking stigmas and providing mental health first aid certifications and more.We have a special collection of candles set up at the...

With that being said, I want to challenge & ask us all, myself included... where are OUR hearts at? Have...
I've never been a big Valentines Day person. I had a friend and still have a couple who's birthdays fall on Valentines Day. I never know whether that is a blessing or a curse, or neither? Valentines Day has been a "sad" day or known to be for a long time if you don't have a significant other in your life. And let me tell you, there is nothing wrong with being single. It is way better to be working on yourself and way easier than being in a relationship. I'm not saying relationships aren't worth it, but what I am saying is, if you aren't anticipating to put in a lot of work, it may not be what you...
Hello lovely friends reading this! I wanted to recap this whole last year and just remember all the amazing things we have gotten to witness in our state and country regarding mental health and suicide awareness and prevention. If you are local or live in Salt Lake City you can get involved by going to the AFSP website and sign up for the newsletters. February 13th there will be a advocacy meeting at the Capitol in the capitol board room, from 9-3pm. If you want to "register" you can, although I'm not sure if its necessary that you have to, like a mandate. As we get ready to release the donation numbers from 2019 we want to thank each and...
