May is National Fostercare Month, Mental Health Awareness Month, and Lupus Awareness Month...as a therapist, foster mom/advocate, and bad-ass Lupus Warrior...May is a month where I am able to reflect. As a therapist, the one thing I can tell you all is to make your Mental Health a priority. You can't be there for anyone if you're not first showing up for yourself. Sometimes we have to be a little bit selfish in order to be selfless. 💚 As a foster parent, it is one of the hardest most rewarding jobs ever! With over 430,000 children in fostercare, becoming a foster parent was a way for me to be a part of a growing need in my community. ❤ As a Lupus Thriver, it's one of the toughest battles that I fight daily. Literally fighting with my body, an invisible illness where people tend to say, "You don't look sick"...it's tiring, it's painful, it's exhausting. At times I just want to give up and remember the life God gave me and I'm thankful in spite of the pain, that I'm able to live out...
