This right here really spoke to me. Over the past few weeks I've been hearing from friends and family of their worries about uncertainty. While this is coming from a loss perspective, it seems fitting in our uncertain times that people feel the pressure of uncertainty. What do you exaggerate, overthink, or obsess about in your mind? Usually is because we are uncertain about what comes next. Wishing you balance and peace today and always.

Grief, Loss, and Intolerance of Uncertainty - Whats your Grief Intolerance of uncertainty, which is highly correlated with many forms of anxiety disorders, may be exacerbated by loss and grief.

It’s come to my attention... likely yours too... that we are in unprecedented times. But as crazy as our world feels right now... there are ways to feel more balanced. It’s important to remember what you can control versus what you cannot.

Be balanced today!

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and while many know... some do not that type 1 Diabetes is a large part of my life! No, I don’t have it... but 3 of my family members do and 12 years ago, when our oldest daughter was dx...that day changed me. Today I want to bring awareness to the correlation between mental health and diabetes.
