He Buys Me Flowers

Sadly this is the story of so many women.

If You Suffer From Depression Get Help

Yesterday I heard the heartrending story of a father who jumped in front of a moving train while holding his young daughter. He was instantly killed. Miraculously, the child survived and was able to crawl from under the train to good samaritans who took her to safety. The deceased man was said to be a good father, but he suffered from depression.

I cannot judge this man, clearly his thought process was not rational when he jumped. Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed about. In many cases medication can help. Do not keep it to yourself see a professional get help. You might not get a cure but you can get the help you need to live a normal and fulfilling life. Don’t suffer in silence. Get help.

Is Social Media Making People Callous?

Earlier this week I hear the heartbreaking story of a teen who assaulted by a group of other teen and stabbed to death. He was was only sixteen years old. The reason for the stabbing was that he had walked another teen’s girlfriend home.

The worst part about this incident is, instead of trying to help many stood by and videotaped the incident. We have a generation who are more interested in getting an incident on video rather than helping someone in need of help. When did we become a society where all that matters is to get something on social media. If this is what the future hold, then the future looks bleak. It is so sad that this youngster lost his life in this manner.

Hurricane Dorian has lashed the Bahamas leaving devastation in its wake. We can only pray at this time that the loss of life will not be significant. It is going to take a lot of rebuilding to get the country back on its feet. But the most important thing at this time is for everyone to keep safe.

Morning Motivation

The moment you stumble there will be those who are quick to write you off. In fact there may be those who secretly want to see you fail. The road to success is a arduous one. Don’t let them get into your head. Remember it takes strength to survive

Morning Motivation

You have to push yourself even though at times you may feel like giving up. The road to success is a long and winding one, but others have made it to the finish line and so can you!

Today’s Motivation

No everyone will be in your corner or give you their support so don’t have too much expectations. Sometimes strangers are more likely to support you than the people you know. So build relationships and support others. Together you will grow.

Gun Violence

How long must we continue to live in fear from gun violence while those in charge do nothing about it. Why is it that those in leadership are reluctant to implement measures that might help to stop the continued massacre of innocent people. Could it be because they are in their safe little world and it does not affect them and their families. What will it take for them to say enough is enough?
