[surviving-in-a-chaotic-world]

As a single full-time mother of 2 and full-time employee it is difficult to describe the frustrations and struggles that come with raising two adolescents alone. On top of the daily challenges this world continues to throw our way obstacles that shouldn't exist. The world my girls are growing up in is completely different from the one I remember and it breaks my heart. It's hard enough on them to grow up without their father but to face the cruelty of this world is unfathomable for children. There is no reason my kids should be worried about people having guns at school or being kidnapped on the street while walking home, but this is the world we live in. When will the world wake up to notice the people around them? When will they take their faces out of their phones to look up and notice someone else? Someone in need of a meal or even just an encouraging word. I believe in God but the church that I follow is myself and the words God gives me or someone else for me. We, people, you and I are the most powerful church. Why? Because there is nothing more encouraging than words directed at individuals from the source. Even for those who don't believe to hear the things that people have overcome to gain success whether in business or life is the best way to help others believe in themselves. Everyone talks about making the world a better place, but fail to realize it's not the number of people you help or make an impact on that counts, each person is living in their own world, so therefore wouldn't changing or impacting one life help change the world around us? It's time to stop ignoring the lost and forgotten, it's time to take a stand for your neighbor. The biggest satisfaction should come from watching others succeed, if we were all to help each other grow how much more would the world change? If we just stood still for a moment to hear someone else, what impact could you have? All these shootings could have been prevented from gun control bur most importantly could have been prevented if someone had listened and paid attention to the individuals who carried out these senseless acts.

Heroic Story of a Battle-Scarred British Army Veteran

Battle-Scarred British Army Veteran Who overcame Mental illness to become a leader in Suicide Prevention and Suicide Survivor Representation True Story The horrors of warfare leave many people so affected that their mental health is irreparable; however, Nick Wilson has been able to use his experience of surviving a suicide attempt, PTSD, and depression to help hundreds of thousands of people who, without his help, are often forgotten. Nick began serving in the British Army in 1999, where he toured Iraq and Afghanistan and witnessed many traumatic things, which ultimately profoundly affected his mental health. After 14 years of service, wanting to live a ‘normal’ life, Nick left the army and set up a successful chauffeur business’ Purely Platinum.’ Unfortunately, two years later, in 2016, unable to fight his inner demons any longer, he attempted suicide. Fortunately, Nick recovered to good health, and his experience has led him to make an impactful change in the mental health community. He studied Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mental Health First Aid, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, which led him to found both ‘360 Well-being’, a foundation dedicated to providing the best well-being strategy for workforces, and ‘First Step Forward,’ which aims to help army veterans readjust to civilian life and offer tips to mental health self-awareness. More information on Nick Wilson HERE! Nick has also been behind some incredibly successful mental health campaigns, such as #RealMenTalk and #TimeToListen, in 2018 and 2019, which reached over 250,000 people. He is now campaigning to get more representation and, therefore, awareness surrounding the topic of suicide and suicide survivors. For every suicide, there are at least 40 attempts. He has seen firsthand how the little information gathered around this issue has resulted in people being failed and ignored. While running a men’s peer support group, Nick witnessed many losing good friends to suicide who received little to no help. He believes the government’s current advice, which states that speaking about suicide can be triggering and detrimental, is outdated and incorrect, a view shared by organisations such as Samaritans and Grassroots suicide prevention. It paints a bleak, hopeless picture of the issue. It deters journalists and reporters from engaging with the stories of survivors or bereaved families to further the conversation around this topic. As a response to this, Nick has launched his podcast ‘Lived Experience Chats,’ where he asks his guests to share their experiences living with disabilities, mental health issues, and suicide to give a voice to people who feel unheard and unseen in the hope that it will provide people in similar situations with messages of strength. It also shows that surviving suicide is possible and creates courageous role models to inspire and empower. Nick’s story is truly incredible, and through his ambassadorship for Global Goodwill, he is continuing to break the stigma surrounding the topic of suicide and advocate for a better understanding of mental health.   Photo by Marcel Strauß on Unsplash Read the full article

HEY Y’ALL! It’s not personal- it’s a public service announcement! I’ll be taking a little break from posting guitar videos- until my finger heals up. Somehow the nail/cuticle on the middle finger of my fretting hand got infected. It’s painful and gross. 😐 Oh well. I’m on antibiotics. Maybe I’ll delve back into my lap guitar explorations in the meantime. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼#middlefinger #infection #infectioncontrol #selfcare #takecareofyourself #treatyoself #effyou #fu #itsjustajoke #timetolisten #timetolistentomusic (at Baltimore, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B46ORe0H_hC/?igshid=f2h5foyizs9r

Please share Time to listen up folks! From @orcalabbc SHHHH: TIME TO LISTEN This summer at Orcalab we all took part in a incredibly exciting project that saw an expansion of our hydrophone network like never before. It presented us with many challenges above and below the surface and all in the midst of a global pandemic. We were strapped for time and restricted by weather but our team were fantastic and Megan even managed to do some filming In-between dives. Along with the help of some very talented friends and storytellers they made a short film about the importance of a quiet ocean! Thanks to Hakai and Wildbusfilms for supporting this important project!

I have been so overwhelmed with so many emotions for the past several days. I can’t even begin to share how HAPPY It made me to get on social media today and see SO many of my followers participating in this #blackout! There is power is numbers. We NEED your help. We NEED your support. We can’t keep living in fear like this. I love my skin and I need everyone else to love it just as much as I do. Love us, ALL of us! I love you all; please love me, my family, and my race back enough to not be silent! We need every voice we can get. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #blackouttuesday #blackoutday2020 #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatter✊🏾 #blacklivesmatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #timetobesilent #timetolisten #mute #weareinthistogether #weareTIRED #wearetiredofdying #weareHURT #weareFRUSTRATED #weareDISGUSTED #wedeservebetter #supportyourfriends #black #blackisbeautiful #blackispowerful #blackispower #blackislove #blackisgold #melaninisbeautiful #squallymuffin #thisisnotokay #helpus #standwithus #blackpeople #blackdadsmatter (at This Is America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA706wGldme/?igshid=17qnlgg9qmz2o

I’m truly heartbroken with the recent tragedies that have occurred in Black communities in the recent weeks. The visuals of pain, suffering and death have affected us all. It’s a constant reminder of the racism that continues to exist in our world. It’s a constant reminder to not sit silently and observe from afar. You know how much I love sharing my work on here BUT this is the time to express how I feel so I’m muting my feed today. I care deeply about matters of injustice, and of course, am against violence to any human regardless of race, religion, or sexuality. WE are in this together and together we will use our voice to do better, do more and ultimately LISTEN so that we can build a better future for ALL. 🖤🤎🖤#amplifymelanatedvoices #blacklivesmatter #timetolisten #timetolearn #blackouttuesday (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA7qQ_vnF2b/?igshid=1lqicneohf4cu

This has been an exhausting few days...I’m drained - we’re all drained and have had enough of injustice and equality. No more ... it’s time to hold people accountable for their actions. Make sure you all go out and vote...stand up and say something...listen, learn, get educated, have those discussions...enough is enough . . . #BLMeverywhere #nomoreinjustice #wewantjustice #enoughisenough #icantbreathe #timetolisten https://www.instagram.com/p/CA6PXgPJ0VN/?igshid=15ieddt9ljvhm

1. "Awareness" is not the same thing as information. I can get 10,000 people to wear a puzzle ribbon pretty easily but that doesn't mean they know a blessed thing about autism. "Awareness" is crap.

2. "Awareness" is a vague goal, in addition to being crap. Awareness of what? Awareness of what autism IS? No, no one exactly knows and that's too much like information. Awareness that adults need services too? No, we don't look cute on their posters. Awareness that autism is more than just people smearing shit and banging their heads? No, that makes us sound too much like people. Awareness that many parents think that ohnoesvaxxeenzeetbabeez and they need to follow their GooglePhD protocol to rescue them and need YOUR MONEY to do it? That particular faction shouts the loudest. Note how few autistic people are served by "awareness".

3. Please be AWARE that autistic people are just that, PEOPLE. We don't need the dehumanization that nearly invariably comes with the "human interest" stories. Even if we don't talk, we can hear and pick up on the attitude that exudes from these pieces.

4. Please also be AWARE that we are AWARE of autism year round, and thus don't necessarily feel the need to do more than we do every day-namely, being ourselves. Conversely, if other people happen to notice us being ourselves more during April, that isn't necessarily us "acting out", but so called awareness making people more aware or self conscious or whatever. The rest of the world can suck it up and deal.

5. Consider that we may not want to read every article on autism, go to every (or even ANY) autism event, or watch every program. See dehumanizing, above. This holds especially true for anti cure folks and those of us who have more than had our fill of the dehumanizing vomitous pity party garbage.

6. Be AWARE of not just the "valiant struggling parents", but also the children and adults who are doing well, the ones who aren't doing well, and the ones who are doing what THEY consider well and are happy.

7. Be especially AWARE of the autistics who's parents, caregivers, and others bought into their own self pity and have done terrible, often irreversible things to them. NEVER EVER forget those who are no longer with us, for the crime of being autistic.
