This website is dedicated to my brother Charles “Chuckie” Young who lived with the mental illnesses of schizophrenia and bipolar his entire adult life. Also to everyone who needs to be encouraged and motivated on their healing journey.

Mental illnesses do not always begin with a diagnosis. It can begin with an accumulation of emotions from disappointments, grief, heartbreak, pain, and sadness. Being mentally and physically overwhelmed with traumatic experiences can cause imbalances in your thinking. Everyone experiences some kind of mental health crisis in their lifetime, it is what you do to overcome those experiences that matter most. Embrace your healing, it is a choice, so choose YOU!!!

My journey began with the shock, sadness, and grief experienced during and after my mother’s terminal illness from 2007 to 2009. After an on-the-job injury in 2014. From overseeing my grandson’s devastating injury in 2015. In February 2016 my father died from cancer. Then very unexpectedly, three months later on May 13, 2016, my brother died of a massive heart attack on his birthday. These life changes are what caused my diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder in 2017. The information on this website continues to support my healing and I hope it can do that for you too.

In addition to everything I’ve experienced ‘during my healing, two very wise, professional, and loving women were very instrumental during my healing journey. My therapist. who helped me understand my diagnosis of ‘‘Major Depressive Disorder’ and how to manage it, and my Reiki teacher, who taught me how Reiki (energy healing) can help relieve stress and anxiety.

Peace and Love Always!
