It Takes Faith by 2Fishes Studio

 As mentioned in my recent blog post, I am starting a new phase in my life where I aim to merge all aspects of my life and be more authentic, transparent, and dependable. I attribute my success to my firm belief in Faith. Let me define Faith- complete trust or confidence in someone or something. It can also refer to a firm belief in God or the doctrines of a religion based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof. Speaking for myself, I belong to the latter definition. However, I don't expect others to share my beliefs. I believe everyone should have Faith in something - whether it's complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Therefore, wherever your Faith lies, I encourage you to lean on it. Faith alone can and will transform you and your perspective on life. In future blog posts, I will share my experiences and how Faith has played a significant role in my journey.

Obey! Can you?

I've decided to embrace the word "obey" as my guiding principle for the year. As I ventured into this new chapter of my life, I chose to start afresh. The word "obey" came to me after a heartfelt prayer, and since then, I've noticed numerous meaningful coincidences. It prompted me to reflect on the times when I didn't follow through with what I felt compelled to do. I had been praying for guidance to enhance my painting skills and create art that would honor God when the story of the Good Samaritan came to mind. I felt a strong urge to paint that particular scene. Although I made several sketches, I never finished or even came close to completing the painting. I eventually stowed it away and left it untouched for a long time. When I revisited my prayer for the same inspiration, I realized I had failed to act on the creative impulse my higher power had bestowed upon me. During my darkest moments before receiving my diagnosis, I try not to be too hard on m

Do You Really Know Them?

"I wonder how many people miss out on the chance to truly get to know someone because they assume they already know them. It may sound contradictory, but many individuals might meet someone during a holiday or a rare occasion and believe they know everything about them without trying to get to know them better. This could even happen within one's own family." Since my diagnosis almost two years ago, I have undergone significant changes. In all fairness, I do live two hours from my family, but when I do see them, they talk to me like I am the undiagnosed kid I once was. I used to be really upset about it, but since I am finally regulated with my medication, I see that they don't know me at all. The fact that they don't take the time to know who I am today does hurt me, but I can move past what I can't control, something I couldn't do before we found the medications that work for me."I understand that it may not be comfortable for some people to hear or
