Have you ever just felt stuck in life? Like you are circling the same vicious cycles over and over again? You have this laundry list of things you want to accomplish in your life, most of them are just simple tasks like getting the daily dishes done and then other times they are bigger like writing a book or starting a business. Regardless of how big or daunting your list is, it just feels outright impossible to get a handle on it for some reason. Like life's lemons are just getting thrown at you left and right and you just need things to pause long enough for you to actually catch some of those darn lemons to make that lemonade with. I can relate. In this book, I want to share with you how I tackled these incredibly hard topics. I spent almost 20 years in depression and battled some major lows that could have destroyed me. My heart and desire is to be completely open, honest, and relatable as I unearth my life story and show you exactly how I overcame. I will give you practical ways to help you master your mind and conquer these demons for good. I am a southern girl born and raised in Arkansas. I now live in Oklahoma with my husband, Mark and our four children. I am passionate about sharing my story to help others who have battled depression, amidst a whole slew of other ailments including stress, anxiety, loneliness, fear, abandonment, and mental illness. I will also share how to cope through grief when others walk out of your life. I promise to be raw to my core as I write my story. In it you will find humor, deep real talk, faith and hope as you walk with me through some of my most painful memories from my past, all while finding truth alongside me.

I bend whenever skies turn black. I lose some petals when it's dark. Even so, I'd rise again when morning comes, and darkness ends. ㅡ Sunflower

Standing up against the hardships of life.

It's hard to know if someone's really understands you.. that you knew that it is not easy to express your thoughts scared that they might just judge you negatively.. That's why, it is not your rule to explain yourself all the time to all people around you.. Let them! The truths will reveal... in right time, in God's time.. I am writing this to express my thoughts, either it's positive or not.. I just found that it's more good to feel that you have something to do when you can't say a word.. I don't care about you, just don't judge me..

This is not a fairy tale. It is a war. And she won. For every woman who has cried in silence. For every girl who was told she was nothing. For the ones still in the middle of the storm - this book found you for a reason.
