And, this story is dedicated to all the dreamers of the world. You must believe in yourself, and your dreams.

Finally, I dedicate this to my children. My girls, Katelyn and Laurel. I will see you soon. But not yet. Not yet. 😌

I want to thank Marty Wolner | Healthy Anger Toolbox for our continued collaboration, and his support in me sharing my story.

Five years ago, I went through a period of 16 months, where I would end up losing my dad, my child, end my long-term relationship, and lose my long-term career. I kept getting knocked off my feet, with loss, after devastating loss.

The first loss I went through, was the death of my father. I decided to seek help in the form of grief counselling. For my heartbreak and devastation.

This counsellor suggested I write down my moods each day. As a way to track my emotions. And try to regulate my feelings. I took her suggestion, and I did just that.
