Throughout my life I have not liked myself but,
I will lovingly accept who I am.
Years ago I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and
I will lovingly accept my illness and who I have become.
My passion is to increase awareness, educate and reduce the stigma of bipolar disorder so,
I want to lovingly be the voice for many that cannot speak for themselves.
I will share my story and journey of living with bipolar disorder
openly, honestly and lovingly to let others know they are not alone.
I will stop talking about myself negatively and
will speak about myself positively and lovingly.
God made me uniquely beautiful and flawed but,
I will lovingly embrace myself and my life just the way it is.
“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.”
—Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
