Depression - De-poison

Checking in - how are you doing today?

I am depressed. I have depression.                             No.  Depression has me.  What is it? I forget that it’s there. Depression doesn’t have me. What is it?                             What IS it? A weighted blanket? A wet blanket? Shackles? A bag full of rocks? A dark cloud?                             No, none of these are quite right. If Depression was just something…

My House, My Rules

This post is probably not what you think it’s going to be about. I was invited to speak at the Lead Like a Girl Annual Summit for Girls Inc of San Antonio about healthy relationships and dating violence, in December 2017.  I was faced with the challenge of creating a quick message to suit the attention spans of girls ranging from upper elementary all the way up to high school.  **gulp**  I knew I…

Davi was gone a WHOLE WEEK @deercreekcamp for her first sleep away camp! We missed her so much, but this wonderful camp took care of her AND took pictures to share so we could see her having fun! I haven’t figured out how to download them yet, so they look weird, but once I figure it out, I will repost.

#soproud to work for a company like USAA #Repost @lifeatusaa with @get_repost ・・・ June is National PTSD Awareness Month, and our Plano employees are spreading awareness by taking part in the #22PushupChallenge. Why 22 push-ups? When the awareness campaign started in 2013, Veteran Affairs released a statistic that 22 veterans commit suicide every day. By raising awareness of PTSD, we help veterans and others recognize symptoms, and to seek and obtain help. #USAALife #22Kill #VeteranSuicideAwareness #PTSDAwareness

Dear Pro-life...

If you’re really pro life and you really believe that all-lives matter...

Where

Is

Your

Righteous

Indignation

Now?

Why? Why are you not 1000% outraged?

School Shootings are SUPER late-term abortions.

There are babies being kidnapped and held from their parents...

Shame on you. Shame on your silence. Shame on your toxic hypocracy.

“Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one--

the gentle slope,

soft underfoot,

without sudden turnings,

without milestones,

without signposts,” - C.S. Lewis

People of Tumblr, we’re throwing up the Bat Signal.

Though this Administration has vowed today to sign an executive order that would end the separation of families at the border stemming from its “zero tolerance” policy, we must continue to apply pressure and do our part. Families should have never been separated in the first place.

Here are five ways that you can help:

1. Call your Senator and let them know that immigration reform is still needed. Call the Senate switchboard at [phone] and ask for your Senator’s office.

2. Donate to organizations that are providing support to immigrant families being held in detention centers all over the country:

The Florence Immigration Project - The Florence Project is providing free legal and social services to migrants being detained in Arizona.

The Texas Civil Rights Project - Lawyers in Texas have banned together to fight for “equality and justice in and out of the courts.”

ACLU of Texas Border Rights Center

RAICES Bond Fund - This fund provides money to release parents from detention centers so they can look for their kids.

CARA Family Detention Pro Bono Project - CARA provides legal representation for families in detention centers.

KIND - Kids In Need of Defense (KIND) provides legal representation for unaccompanied minors in detention centers. They’ve also provided other ways for you to help oppose family separation here.

CARA Pro Bono Project - Help alleviate the cost of housing for volunteer lawyers, as well as sending coloring books to those children in detention centers.

Refugee Caravan - Donate what you can to help detained immigrants make phone calls to their families and lawyers.

3. Contact the Immigration Justice Campaign if you, or someone you know, are fluent in Spanish and can assists lawyers at the border over the phone as an interpreter.

4. Contact Northwest Immigrant Rights Project and volunteer your services as a Spanish-speaking interpreter or as a lawyer for those parents who have been sent to the state of Washington without their children.

5. If you’re a lawyer, law student, paralegal or Spanish-speaking interpreter, contact the Dilley Pro Bono Project for a week-long shift as a volunteer in Texas.

Let’s do what we can to right this wrong because children and families should never have to suffer these kinds of irreparable trauma.
