Happy Gotcha Day to our other little fuzz butt, Lucy (aka Goose). I have never met a kitty with such a huge personality and who acts more like a dog then a cat. You bring so much laughter and playfulness into our little family 💕 even though you literally drag your toys around harrassing us to play no matter how long we've played with you, wake us up at 6 am to pet you or the fact you sit in the strangest places and positions; our family would not be the same without you Lucy Goose 😽 . . #happygotchaday #adoptdontshop #kittenlove #catsofinstagram #siameselove #siamesemix

Yesterday was #worldmentalhealthday but EVERY day is a day to be aware of not only your mental health, but your loved ones too. Earlier this year, two people I love very much were severely struggling with their mental health. One attempted to take their life, the other had a plan to do the same. Thankfully, they are both still in my life today but things could have gone so very differently and that is terrifying to think about. . . I struggle with depression. I struggle with anxiety. I take medication every day. I go to therapy. Honestly, I was once afraid to say all these things out loud because of the stigma but I no longer care. I don't care because over the last while we have seen so many incredible and talented people lose their courageous battle with mental illness: Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain, Chester Bennington, among so many others. I don't want to be one of these statistics, and I don't want my amazing friends and family to be one either. . . Friends, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. PLEASE. If you are struggling, you are not alone no matter how alone you feel. Please seek help. Tell your doctor, or tell someone who loves you. You are meant to be here. You are loved and you are wanted. I have been there. I've been so low that I've been scared of my thoughts because I didn't feel like they were mine. I have felt like I would feel like that low forever. I have felt worn down, I have felt burnt out, I have been there and I want you to know it truly does get better, day by day. It is a challenge don't get me wrong and every day you will have to fight but when you start to fall in love with yourself and your life again, it gets easier I promise. I didn't realize how much I truly stopped taking care of myself until I ACTUALLY started taking care of myself again. . . Apologies for the long post, but this is truly so important. Check in on yourself. Check in on your loved ones; they may want to reach out and not know how. And please, be kind because you truly never know what someone is going through. We are all human. 💜

Lately as part of my routine, I've been reminding myself to practice gratitude. I slow down and stop in the moment I'm in and feel thankful for the blessings I have. Whether I'm home with Nick and our kitties, taking moments for myself or surrounded by family and friends, there is so much to be thankful for. 🌻 Take a moment and think about truly what you have to be grateful for in your life and remember to make those things a priority. So often we are in such a rush that we forget to slow down and thank our lucky stars for the damn great things we have. 🍃Happy Thanksgiving🍃 . . #practicinggratitiude #slowdown #thankful #happythanksgiving #grateful #somanyblessings
