This time may be difficult, but we have to believe that better times will come. We should never let that hope go away. Hold on to that hope, because hope is the last. Diese Zeit mag schwierig sein, aber wir müssen daran glauben, dass bessere Zeiten kommen werden. Wir sollten diese Hoffnung niemals aufgeben. Halte an dieser Hoffnung fest, denn Hoffnung ist das Letzte. #believeinbetter #holdontohope #brighterdaysahead #staypositive #keepthefaith #neverlosehope #optimismwins #faithintomorrow #positivevibesonly #hopefulheart

I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting, and it always stings to be reminded of just how bad I let things get - even more so when, at the time, I really could not see it at the time. I couldn’t accept that I was unwell at all, and I didn’t want to believe that things were as bad as they were. I saw a professional a couple of days ago who hasn’t seen me since I was really poorly, and they told me that I look well, in comparison to how unwell I looked when I last saw them. I know I harp on about my journey but I am incredibly proud of myself for what I’ve achieved. I’ve officially made it past 4 weeks laxative free, I’m a good 6 weeks purge free and I’m continuing to eat well and have restored my weight fully (and accepting that I may naturally gain a little over that too). It’s been a long road to recovery, and it’s not always straightforward, but I’m doing well. There are days when I want to resort back to my old ways, but just looking at how broken I was on the 2nd photo reminds me that I never want to be back there again and my heart breaks to think about how incredibly hopeless I once was. I’m not sure if the eating disorder will ever fully disappear BUT I am finally back to a point where it’s been locked away in a cage in the back of my mind. I know it’s still there, and sometimes it’ll rattle the bars of that cage to gain my attention, but I finally feel able to ignore it and get on with my life! 🥰 #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsurvivor #mentalwellness #itsokaynottobeokay #depression #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery #bodyimage #whatdoesntkillyou #thisgirlcan #strongerthanyouthink #wellbeingjourney #wellbeingwarrior #selfcare #selflovejourney #adultingishard #studentnurseuk #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticviolencesurvivor #holdontohope #domesticabuseawareness #recoveryjourney #laxativeabuserecovery #eatingdisordersurvivor #recoveryisworthit #edrecovery #recoveryhope #strength #eatingdisorderhope

Is your heart heavy? Are you feeling discouraged in the midst of this troubling and confusing time? I know at times I certainly am. So when I reached into the cabinet and grabbed this cup for my morning tea, I was encouraged by its simple message. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed with how much is changing in the values and direction of our country. We may even have loved ones—children, siblings, and friends embracing the confused philosophies of this time in history. Yet this is not the end. Let us turn our eyes upward to what is unchanging and fix our minds on the truth of God’s word and the Gospel of Jesus. These will never pass away. Then, with hope, joy, and the peace of God that passes all understanding, we can hold fast and share His light in an ever darkening world. As we do we will fulfill our calling in this time and place our Father has put us. Standing in hope.

ꕤ It’s been a While since I felt so Fragile. Being an Adult isn’t so Straightforward with me . I’ve had to Learn to be Bold , Strong and have an Appetite for Risk, a thirst for Stability all at the Same time. I’m TRYING… But also tired of being Strong , I’m so Hungry Hungry for Ease. This is a feeling of a flower plucked but not worth to be Reserved or Kept in a beautiful Vessel.

🌼💚 Hold on 💚🌼 My newest wearable piece of art made ahead of Mental Health Awareness Week, 13 to 19 May 2024. I usually get ideas at the last minute, but this year, I am right on time, as where I am at my stage of life. Raising mental health awareness and showing compassion and kindness to one another should not be just for a day, a week, or a month. It must be every day. I embroidered this sweatshirt as part of my recovery coming out of a mental health crisis that lasted months until it hit its absolute peak this year. I did not know what 2024 had in store, and I did not expect it to be this. To me, this sweatshirt marks my survival of making it through 100 per cent of my darkest days and reminds me to not be ashamed of my quirks, and the fact that my brain just works slightly differently, and there always will be people who just won't get it. But I am me, and there are many people out there just like me. I will continue to find creative ways of expressing myself and my story and standing up for what I believe in. #EndTheStigma.

If the tests of this life have weathered you down, And you care for very little, Keep caring for your religion, Keep hold of your Islam, Be possessive over your religion, Let the religion of Allah be your light in the darkness, Allah is Ar - Rahman, the most merciful. He is testing you only for good فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ٥ (94:5) So, surely with hardship comes ease.

Happy Earth Day everyone! Thank you West High School for including us in your Equity Summit! What an incredible opportunity for students to choose from an abundant array of offerings highlighting various interests and local organizations. We had a wonderful time exploring “Solarpunk Art & Organizing” with two groups of students and teachers. Thank you for sharing your dreams for a more liberated future and identifying some starter steps to get us there, what an inspiration! What is your solarpunk vision of an equitable future that includes environmental justice and a sustainable relationship with Earth? Share with us in the comments! ID: a series of drawings and writings of visions of “my solarpunk future” from various students and teachers and several post it idea boards of “current/apocalypse situations” versus ideas of a “liberated/solarpunk future”. #solarpunk #liberatedfuture #holdontohope #earthday @madisonwesthighschool

"Hope sprouts. It grows and sends deep roots into the earth while at the same time reaching for the light. It can appear quite fragile -- like a simple purple crocus blossom or a fragile fruitless strawberry vine. But hope's root system is deep and tenacious. It breaks through rocks and mud to reach the light. Where hope is planted it takes up residence." ~ Lisa McCrohan Our wish for you this #NationalMonthofHope and always: healthy, happy hormones and an unwavering spirit of hope 🌱 #hope #holdontohope #quoteoftheday #thoughtfortoday #mondaymotivation #mondaymantra #womenswellness #womenshealth #hormonalhealth #happysprout #originsproutco

Place them around your house so you can be reminded of God’s promises for healing.

When you get ill, your life gets completely turned upside down. You don't choose to become ill, why would anyone choose this. To have a life of uncertainty, never knowing when the next symptom will appear, when the next flare up will start. Losing your mobility, your freedom, your independence. Relying on friends, family, carers, healthcare professionals. Life revolving around appointments. Your future choices severely limited by your disability. But I will not give up, because giving up is giving in. Yes I have a chronic illness, yes it has changed and defined my life. But it will not define me. I will use my strength to keep hopeful that I can have a meaningful life, a fulfilling future despite my illness. I will raise awareness, I will try to help people, I want to be an advocate for all those people who feel alone, who feel hopeless, who feel misunderstood, who feel unheard. Life is hard right now, I won't lie. But I'm not giving up the fight, don't you give up either ❤️ ✨️ Follow for content on neurodivergence, mental health and chronic illness (and the occasional poem).

Whew… it’s been a minute since I posted last. This has been sitting waiting for about a week now but I haven’t had the strength to post it, because I knew I had to re-read and redraft some of it. And that scared me. I want everyone to know… whoever reads this… that you are wanted by someone. Whether that’s a partner, a parent, a friend. You are wanted. You make someone’s life better just by being here. Hold on just another day, even if you have to tell yourself it gets better and you don’t see changes right away. One day your smile will come back and you won’t even notice. One day you’ll laugh without thinking about it. One day you’ll realise that you’re happy again. And listen, I know that it might not last forever. You might get worse again, but tell yourself that life is worth living until you can experience the highs again. Take a moment. Breathe. You don’t owe anyone a healed version of you… except you. 🤍 . . . #poetry #writing #writer #poetsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #sad #depression #depressionkills #reachout #holdon #holdontohope

To all the parents out there who have children dealing with medical conditions, special education needs, mental health struggles, or just the everyday challenges of parenting, I want to share a powerful message with you: make room for hope. I know firsthand how overwhelming and exhausting it can be to constantly navigate these difficult situations, but I want to remind you that there is always room for hope. It may not always be easy to see, but it is there. Hold onto it tightly and let it guide you through the tough times. Hope can give you the strength and courage to keep pushing forward, and it can also bring a sense of peace and comfort in the midst of chaos. So, I urge you to never give up hope, because with it, anything is possible. Your children are counting on you to be their rock, their support, and their source of hope. And I have no doubt that you are more than capable of being all that and more. So keep holding on to hope, and know that you are not alone in this journey. We are all in this together, and together, we can make room for hope, and make a difference in the lives of our children. #holdontohope #makingadifference #parenting #warriormom #showupforyourchild #Positiveimpact @highlight
There are some situations that no matter how much you think you are prepared, somehow, it just takes you by surprise. Like when life throws a curveball and you're left reeling, trying to make sense of it all. Some situations leave you with a heart full of questions and a soul that's searching for answers. In those moments, it's okay to feel overwhelmed, to feel like you're drowning in a sea of uncertainty and it's also okay to cry. Most importantly, pray as your heart feels. Pour out your heart to God, He knows how best to comfort you. But when you are done, find people who will help you get up (in the actual sense, have them before you need them. Also be that person for other people). So let's hold on to each other, let's be the safe haven that we all need. Let's remind each other that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope, always a way forward. © Dikachi Pauline #LifeUnscripted #WhenLifeTakesYouBySurprise #HoldOnToHope

The magic that you're looking for is in the work that you're avoiding ‼️ Felt like quoting somn' that has kept me on the go since my surgery last week (no excuses). Hey, I was super scared of it and I still am scared for the other eye but again I needed results, I still do. So yes, I've been working on my fears and pushing myself to my limits, to be at my best mentally and physically, I needed it for a swift procedure and recovery. God carried me through this, Yes! He did😭🐾. Also thank you so much for the kind words, texts, calls, prayers, and support you've shown during this time,I felt seen,loved, and I felt ministered to. The first surgery was a success and the wound is sealing well, doc said it will take a month before I get to start seeing clearly again, my vision is still cloudy. Had to also stay in the dark and wear sunglasses to protect my eyes from too much light and the sun as my spects couldn't provide enough photocromic change to guard my eyes enough. Will I need spects after this? Yes,I'll still wear glasses, the damage caused can't be reversed but the surgery will prevent more damage that the condition may cause (it's more of shrinking the cells) praying that the lens prescription goes lower than the current ones as mentioned by my opthalmologist but again it's not a guarantee, some patients get their good vision back,others don't and others end up going for advanced option as this may not work at all(praying for the best) either way if I'm to get a stronger prescription I pray that it's not far gone. In this one too, my heart is full of grace and at peace, that He who allowed me to have this condition won't allow it to take my mojo away. I may not know where He's taking me with this, but even here right now, with this challenge, He's good! #holdontohope #arise
”Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the LORD his God:“ Psalm 146:5 KJV ****** I’m fighting to hold on to my dreams. If i lose hope, I have chosen to let the dream go also. I won’t lie, it is a battle and I am crying almost daily but still determined to trust and believe GOD for what was placed in my heart by the Holy Spirit. I ask for prayers that I won’t become to discouraged and lose heart when I hear or see things working out contrary. I must walk by my faith and not by sight. Nevertheless I will declare the decree because the LORD is with me and events shall soon turn in my favor because I have been chosen by God. The finger of God pointed toward me and when I thought of running away to hide as I often do, I couldn’t because the LORD got a hold of me and said don’t look in the natural at all of the reasons it would not be you, but look inside your heart and know that that seed was planted by Me. Your will be done LORD, if I must endure emotional hardship, until You bring it to pass, I will not utter a negative word of defeat but speak life and prophesy victory and declare my DREAM SHALL LIVE as NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH MY GOD! Even so, Amen! #holdontoHOPE #havefaithinGod🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
After the longest 9 months, today I walked out of Eating Disorder Services for the last time as a patient with a smile on my face as I have been discharged 🥳 6 months ago, I didn’t think that recovery was an option for me. I believed that I would be stuck forever and that I would just have to settle for a life half lived until it did irreparable damage, or killed me. Except that wasn’t true, and that was yet another lie that the eating disorder told me to keep me trapped. My life ground to a halt and I watched everything I had worked so hard for crumble right in front of me but I felt powerless, like I was trapped behind a glass screen and couldn’t do anything but watch my life fall apart. I’ve still got a little way to to, but I know that I am strong enough and capable enough to do this now. In January, I made the choice to give life one more chance - give recovery my all and see what happens. Worst case scenario, I could always crawl back to the eating disorder. I didn’t want to believe that recovery would work because staying stuck felt safer, but I’ve proved the eating disorder wrong and I am coming out the other side. I owe a very big thank you to a lot of people in my life who didn’t give up on me, and didn’t let me give up on myself. From my beautiful housemates, and best friends, who have had to go through this with me, my wonderful work colleagues who have become friends for life, the beautiful friends both near and far that have cheered me on, and to my therapist who did not give up trying to help me, and didn’t let me give up either - I could not have done this alone. I don’t often say this, but I am incredibly proud of what I have achieved, and I cannot wait to make up for lost time and enjoy being the real Kaj - eating disorder out the way 🥰

Dose of the Day: Sometimes you put up a good fight and lose because you give up too soon. Whatever you’re going through today, wrestle with it until you get your blessing! ”So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak…Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”” -Genesis 32:24,26 #triumphanttuesday #fighton #holdon #holdontight #holdontohope #dontletgo #dontgivein #inspiration #doseoftheday #victory #victoryismine
BIRTH STORY PART 4: God was in every little detail… The week before my induction date I found of that there was a visitor restriction policy in effect at our hospital because of flu season. No visitors under 13. 🙃😩 I was so upset. I had my heart set on Carter being the first person to meet her. A few days before our induction was scheduled some friends of mine came over and blessed us with filling our freezer full of goodies. I was telling them the situation and how much I wanted Carter to be able to come meet her there. Before my friends left they asked if they could pray over me and our labor/birth. But they were also very intentional about praying that I would have peace over this situation and that everything would work out. When they left I saw I had a missed call and a text from my sister that said “call me.” Y’all…I kid you not, during that prayer is when my sister called me. She works for the same hospital system and she told me that they were lifting the visitor restrictions on 3/21/24 at 7:00 am. THE DAY of my induction and the day she was born! 😭🙌🏻🙏🏻 So Carter got to be the first one to meet and hold his little sister and my heart could have exploded in that moment. I never thought we would get to see him become a big brother this side of heaven. She was everything he prayed for and it was such a sweet moment I hope I never forget. I share this because God really does care about us…every little detail matters to him. And all I can say is “Thank you Jesus.” ❤️ #rainbowbaby #hopeafterheartache #fertilityjourney #infertilitywarrior #pregnancyafterloss #littlemiracle #holdontohope #godisinyourstory #redemptionstory
BIRTH STORY PART THREE: Around 6:30 pm, after getting really comfy with my epidural I decided to rest and try to take a nap. We had worship music, spa music, Christian Hypnobirthing playing throughout the day. Having a peaceful atmosphere was key for me. I wanted ALL the comfort items like the lights, a diffuser with lavender & my heating pad — which were all at the top of my birth preference list. After getting some rest time I started to get really uncomfortable and feeling some aching pain in my “left hip”. We tried repositioning to help relive the pain but it didn’t really help so the nurses called anesthesia to help get me more comfortable. Once the anesthesiologist came in and I told him where I was hurting he was like that’s not really your hip. 🙈 It was more like my hamstring so they checked me and I was a 10…that explained what I was feeling. At this point everyone started to get everything ready for delivery. After about 15 minutes of pushing in the most quiet, calm and peaceful space, on 3/21/24 at 9:39 PM, Laikyn Marie entered the world and changed our lives forever. 7 lbs 6 oz of pure sweetness. Her mere existence and the way she graced us with her presence is a true redemption story. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for you sweet girl. You are a true miracle and it’s an honor to be chosen to be your parents. 💕 #rainbowbaby #hopeafterheartache #fertilityjourney #infertilitywarrior #pregnancyafterloss #littlemiracle #holdontohope #godisinyourstory #redemptionstory
Transition seems painful. The caterpillar is surrounded by darkness, before becoming a butterfly. The snake has to shed old skin. Diamonds undergo pressure to reveal it's shine. Muscles break down in order to be built back up stronger. Children lose their teeth, before receiving their permanent ones and go through growing pains as they grow. Everywhere we look, a trying situation, a painful moment, a trial precedes something better to come. It may not be what we choose or result in what we understand, but everything, even the caterpillar, is in God's hands. He's getting you to something or someplace better. . . #anchorinchrist #trials #spiritualgrowth #bibleverse #holdontohope #endure #christianposts
It is often true that just when we think we cannot go any further, the result we are waiting for is just around the corner. In one of their songs, U2, says it this way, "It is always darkest right before the dawn." Maybe you are at a point where you are ready to give up on a dream. Keep holding on! Keep fighting! HOLD ON TO HOPE!!! #holdontohope #keepfighting
Praying your rainbow comes soon, sweet friends!💜🌈☀️ #youvegotthis #youredoinggreat #keepgoing #hardtimes #brighterdays #brighterdaysahead #holdontohope #encouragement #tuesdaymotivation #happytuesday #toughtimesdontlast #encouragement #encouraging #dailyhappiness #spreadhope #spreadhappiness #spreadjoy #kindnessmatters #choosetobehappy #youareloved
BIRTH STORY PART TWO: We checked in to L&D around 6:30 am. I wanted to make sure we kept the environment calm and peaceful so Rodney set up the room just how I wanted with lights and my diffuser. Once I was settled and hooked up to the monitor I was actually already having contractions and 2 cm. 🙌🏻 I wanted the most minimal medical induction possible so this was a huge answer to prayer. I got my first (and only) dose of cytotec around 9:00 am. My contractions picked up pretty quickly - around 1.5 to 2 mins apart but they were not painful at. At the 4 hour mark contractions were too close together for another dose of meds…which was fine because I didn’t really want that anyway. My doctor wanted to break my water but after chatting with our doulas I asked to hold off until they got there. That way they had a chance to help manipulate her and make sure she was in an ideal position first. While we waited, we did lots of walking, I got in the tub, used the birthing ball and was given some fluids to slow contractions down - literally ALL the things. Maggie, my doula and friend got there around 4 o’clock and started helping me with positions to help baby girl move down. After about an hour we all agreed breaking my water was the next best step at this point because I really wanted as little medication as possible. Shameless plug that @greencompass pain cream was a staple for the back labor! 😅 Once my water broke around 5:30 pm, contractions intensified REAL quick. I tried getting back in the tub but after a few contractions I was ready for my epidural. 😅 Anesthesia came in about 30 minutes…but it felt like forever. All y’all natural birth mamas…cheers to you! 👏🏻 #rainbowbaby #hopeafterheartache #fertilityjourney #infertilitywarrior #pregnancyafterloss #littlemiracle #holdontohope #godisinyourstory #redemptionstory
BIRTH STORY PART ONE: I can’t believe I’m writing this…it still doesn’t seem real but so excited to share our birth story for our little miracle girlie. There are so many full circle moments throughout this pregnancy and her birth. God was in every single detail. To preface, Carter’s birth was a little chaotic …and a little traumatic to be honest so I was praying for something different this time around. We hired @growingfamilieslactationdoula , who all quickly became friends. I didn’t know how beneficial this extra support would be for Rodney and I both. Due to a marginal cord insertion my doctor & midwives had been closely monitoring throughout pregnancy, we were encouraged to be induced in the 39th week. This was not ideal but we wanted to do whatever was best for baby girl. Our induction date was schedule for 3/19 but I asked to move it to 3/21 for a couple of reasons. I wanted a couple more days to try and induce labor naturally, my doctor was on call that day and my nurse/friend that I had at Carter’s delivery was working and I REALLY wanted her to be there. When I went to bed the night before our induction I thought I might have felt some contractions but I just assumed they were Braxton Hicks. When I woke up I saw that Rodney and I had both missed a call from the hospital around 4:30 am….oops. 🙈 I jumped up and immediately called back. They said they had a room ready and asked how quickly we could be there. I told them we could be there in about an hour. I called my dad to come over to stay with Carter (and pick me up a biscuit on the way 😅), jumped in the shower and we headed on our way. The drive to the hospital was SO much more calm this time around. #rainbowbaby #hopeafterheartache #fertilityjourney #infertilitywarrior #pregnancyafterloss #littlemiracle #holdontohope #godisinyourstory #redemptionstory

Your children deserve for you to thrive and if you’re not able to do that right now, they deserve you to at least be ok. ❤️ I say that because sometimes we can only keep on going for our children. When you have such low self esteem and feel totally worthless you can’t choose yourself but I know that we can often hold on for our children and sometimes that’s all it takes in order for something greater to occur. ✨ Let me explain: Not that long ago I was at a place in my life that was causing me so much distress I was suicidal. I actually came so close to taking my life it terrified me because I didn’t want my children to lose their mum. It meant I had to make a really hard decision, one that was also terrifying as it would turn my life upside down. Since that time I have worked so hard on myself that instead of only being able to stay alive for my children I now choose to stay alive for myself. It is the reason I am so passionate about Embodied Processing, which resulted in the biggest healing and change I have ever experienced ✨ For anyone on the brink of giving up just know that if right now you are only able to manage to stay alive for your children, thats enough to give you an opportunity to get you to a place where you choose to stay alive for yourself ❤️ #embodiedprocessing #embodiedprocessingpractitioner #traumahealing #innerchildhealing #limitingbeliefs #suicideawarness #youareenough #selflove #youmatter #holdontohope #dontgiveuponyourself

Don’t let fear and anxiety dictate your life! For too long, I allowed worry and fear to overshadow my days, as if I had no control over them. But then, I had a revelation: I am not meant to live in fear! 🙏💪 God has given us a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind, not one of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). So, I started saying “No!” to fear’s influence. I reclaimed my power and began speaking against fear’s hold over me. I realized I have the same power within me that raised Christ from the dead (Romans 8:11)! Our enemy wants to trap us in fear and anxiety, but God instructs us to pray instead of worry (Philippians 4:6-7). 🙌 Stand firm on God’s word. Start with these 5 Scriptures to stand on when facing fear and anxiety. So, next time fear knocks at your door, stand strong and speak against it. Don’t receive it! It has no place in your life. Tell it to leave in Jesus’ name. 💪🙏 What scriptures do you stand on to combat fear in your life? Share this message with someone who needs to hear it so they too can find strength to trust our faithful God. #nomorefear #powerinprayer #dontbeafraid #TrustInGod #faithjourney #FaithOverFear #BibleVerses #HopeInHisWord #hardtimes #HopeinGod #Godspromises #youarenotalone #Godiswithyou #BibleVersedaily #changeyourthoughts #godswordistruth #hopeintheLord #Godhasaplan #trustinthelord #trustingGod #holdontohope #hopeinGod #hopeintheLord #FaithJourney #trustgodspromises #godhasaplan #FaithOverFear #HopePrevails #TodayIsGoingToBeAGoodDay #BreakingAnxietysGrip #HemOfHisGarment
