Today I was riding in my car with the A/C on blasting my music and for a brief moment I felt happy and light. For a brief moment the weight of everything going on in the world was lifted off my chest and I could exhale.
As I was enjoying the moment, guilt tried to creep in “ how could you be singing, dancing and feeling good with everything that’s going on?” I just turned up the music until I could not longer hear my negative thoughts.
It’s ok to be happy, it’s ok to seek joy, it’s ok to have hope. We can’t allow what’s going on to overcome us with negativity and despair. For our own sanity and survival we must take time to go to our happy place and choose joy.
My name is Lisa M Evans MA, CDP. I am an author, blogger, introvert and vegan. I earned a Masters degree in Psychology from Cleveland State University and a certification in Diversity Management.
I created this blog to come out of my shell and share my perspective on a variety of topics. I want to use this blog as a sounding board, gathering place and learning opportunity.
I plan on sharing a little bit of everything that interests me, natural hair, being vegan, and anything else that moves me.
I have three titles that are available on Amazon, I Know How to Lose Weight, So Why Haven't I, a self-help book that was written as a way to work through my issues with weight and dig deeper than just diet and exercise, This is my brain on emotion, a collection of poems that I have written over the years to express my innermost thoughts and feelings, Rich Man's Song, a children's book that teaches a valuable lesson about love and money.
