Everyday throughout the year people can struggle with stress

be it from family dynamics, work/school, bills, anxiety, 

depression or mental health issues, abuse (emotional, verbal and physical), bullying.

These struggles are real and can be a daily struggle for family, friends,

co-workers and strangers around us.

Sometimes the outside appearance of happiness isn't what is going on

behind closed doors or on the inside of a person life.

These struggles can make it very hard for people to stay in this world through it all.

If you know of someone struggling, please reach out to them.

If you are the one struggling you are valued, loved and the world is a better place

with you in it. There is only one you and you are so precious.

You matter, you make a difference in the smallest way

to everyone who knows you.

You make a difference to everyone who comes into contact with you.

Please reach out to someone you love, a friend or a stranger.

Call 988

You do not have to hide your struggles

You do not have to do it alone!!!

We lost our son at the end of 2023

It has been the hardest time of our lives.

Our lives will never be the same without our Robin

and our hearts are forever broken.

Stop the Suffereing Within

Men's Minds Matter Too

Your Words Matter, Don't Use Them As A Weapon

Robin was very passionate about his family

and projects such as Men's Shelters

==========================================================================

Good morning everyone,

Today, we are supposed to have sun/clouds and maybe some rain.

I have really enjoyed the clear blue sky days we have had

but also enjoyed having the rain that is needed.

On social media, there has been a ton of really beautiful pictures

of sunrises, sunsets and even of clouds during some nasty storms.

View nature is like a master craft in art, each day different

and something always stunning to see.

Today, we have a brand new challenge out at 

Creative Knockouts.

We are on Challenge #551 and we are being challenged to create something with

Sparkle & Shine

Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is Pattie's Creations Digital Stamps

Prize: 3 Images

The image, I am highlighting today is called

Hippo Rita
Doesn't this image just make you want to smile.

So many creations you could make with this

fun filled image. 

I would love to be on the water

soaking in the rays and having a nice

fancy drink. Relaxing would be good on the water.

Although, I'm still recovering from last sunburn (ouch).

My image was colored using Copic Markers

It was tough to get a good picture

With all of the glitter paper I used.

Well the paper definitely, makes it shine.

The die cute word smile is from Sizzix.

Fussy cutting, was fun. It is something

that I have not done for a while.

We would love it if you came and joined us for this fun filled 

Summer challenge over at Creative Knockouts

I look forward to seeing your master pieces.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

 Good morning blogger land!

Today, I am excited to be the Guest Designer

over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

I was given two sketches to work with.

Kathie is an incredible designer of these sketches.

The fun part is you can chose to use one sketch or you can use both.

Isn't it great to have options???

They are simply fantastic and it was so much fun

to see what these designs inspired me to create.

Hope you like them.
