A DIFFERENT PLACE

Hey All!! Of course you all know that it has been extremely chaotic over the past few months, but things have definitely began to settle.My mom is still in the hospital, but she seems to not be as resistant as she was when she first entered. Hopefully she will remain this way and continue to receive the treatment that she is being provided. I am in a different place these days. I am much more focused and ready to make a lot of personal changes. My motivation has definitely been shifted and my life changed in a major way. It is amazing how one event can have such a profound affect on your life. Things are actually coming together and I am happy.I am in the final stage of my Master's program, which is the internship. I am definitely excited because as of June 2013, I will have a MS in Counseling in Marriage and Family Therapy. It amazes me sometimes when I think back on how I initially entered into this program in September of 2010. Look at me now, I am on my way to bigger and better things. I will definitely be keeping you all posted on what's going on. PEACE AND BLESSINGS ALL!!

A Bit of Chaos

Hey people it's been a while since I last posted. There has definitely been alot going on over the past few months. I am at the end of my program and preparing to start my practicuum. I am so excited. Time has flown by extremely fast. Life has seemed to be moving much faster. The health and well-being of my mom has taken a swift turn and changed the lives of family members. I love my mom with everything in my heart and soul, but the last few months have been the toughest that I have had to endure. Things had been going well since her return home this past June, but things swiftly took a turn for the chaotic over the course of a few weeks. My mom had in fact come out of her battle with the depression for the past five years. She was on the right track to getting better, or so we all thought. My mom had gone from depression to mania, and soon after I watched my mom's world quickly fall apart. I also watched her behavior and actions change the lives of those closest to her as well. It is amazing at how mental health can change and take over a persons' entire life. It seems as if everything that I was working hard to avoid happened anyway. I never imagined that this would be happening to my family.

Surprisingly, with all of the knowledge that I have acquired I still feel as if I am unable to help my mom. My heart goes out to her everyday. To see my mom transition from where she once was to where she is now is very heartbreaking. I have so many unanswered questions, but I know that whatever GOD wants me to know HE will reveal to me when the time is right.
