My mental health journey began when a "dream" teaching position became a nightmare. I experienced anxiety, depression, and delusions. With prayer, public service and education concerning my bipolar schizoaffective disorder, I found hope. My working experience includes: teaching day care, English as a Second Language, Basic Writing Skills, Fundamentals of Writing, and GED. Through my life experieces, I have learned to enjoy listening to others. I have written "Awareness, Acceptance and Appreciation", as well as assorted devotionals.
