Dreaming


I wish I could go somewhere
Where girls wear flowers in their hair
And boys have stars in their eyes
I wish I could find a place
Where sparks illuminate the sky
And it’s never really dark
A place where rivers never stops flowing
And the flowers never stop blooming.



I dream of a beach at sundown
With fire lights warming our veins
I dream of a million books to read
And a million songs to listen.
I wish I could warm my hands
With a nice cup of coffee
Hearing the soft noise of people talking
And closing my eyes without fear.
I wish I could sleep.
Sleep without dreaming
Of a life I’ll never live.
I dream with my eyes open
And everything around me changes.
I am trapped into a world that is not mine.
I tried to stop
But I always come back there.
Here, I dream of a better life
And it helps me get through mine.
So I dream.

As we follow the nurses caring for their community, we learn about the social and economic issues of the time that they are facing as well as the personal struggles of these families and the midwiv...

Why Is It So Difficult To Accept That Mental Health Is As Important As Physical Health?

Yesterday was World Mental Health Awareness Day and it seemed appropriate to post an article I wrote about mental health and Carrie Hope Fletcher's advocacy for mental and physical health awareness.  Last night, as I was watching a video by Carrie Hope Fletcher entitled “Looking After Your Mental Health” where she openly talks about taking care of ourselves and our mental health, but, most importantly, I noticed that she raises an important point about the difficulty of seeking help and believing we are ‘worthy’ of help.
