For years I’ve used Twitter as a way to grow, learn, and advocate for education and educators. I hope I can get that back here; that feeling of community and progression. #EduSky

I did everything society told me to do — got the degrees, built the career, worked hard — and yet, I’m still one paycheck away from homelessness. This isn’t failure; it’s the reality too many are facing.

I can’t wait to get back on my feet financially and not have to ask for anything. It’s the people closest to you that treat you the worst when you’re low.

I hate asking for help. LOATHE IT. I’ll go for days without essentials just to not have to ask for help and when I do, I’m either ridiculed, judged, or told to “sell one of them dogs.”
I appreciate those who show empathy. This is a tough time for everyone. It’s a sad time.

Anyone who has ever applied for ANY govt assistance knows how difficult they make it to get help (regardless of who the party in power is)
This man is evil & uneducated about the workings of our government
The courts told him to feed Americans & he's refusing
Congrats on electing an unlawful liar

When I get frustrated about a topic like "Why do you have so many dogs?" I write about it & feel much better.
I wish people weren't so judgmental about the decisions I make regarding MY life.
"No man is going to want to be with you with those spoiled dogs." Then he isn't the man for me. Simple.

My dogs saved my life—past and present. Noah taught me love heals; Sassy, Brody & Onyx remind me it’s still true. Living with mental illnesses isn’t easy—but fur, laughter, and loyalty make the difference. 🐾 #mentalhealthawareness #dogtherapy #dogsky

My Dogs Saved My Life — Then & Now

I need Cecred edge drops in a bigger size. I’m out after one month. My hair is thriving. It’s thicker, soft, and moisturized. 10/10 products for sure!
