I have three children with my husband I married in 2001 and we live in a full, vibrant household. There are actually four generations currently living within our walls! I am fiercely passionate about family, particularly, supporting, loving and nurturing each family member on their respective journeys. It can seem all consuming to some, and certainly not everyone feels like I do. I am fully aware that each of us is called to walk a path in different and unique ways. This is something I choose to celebrate and encourage.
I started Unfilter that Lens after receiving a word form the Lord that I was destined to help others battling through mental health disorders - most specifically your adults.
I am a qualified Empathic Listener...I am available to simply hear and acknowledge YOU...not judgement or condemnation. I simply want you to be the....
BEST YOU POSSIBLE
At UNFILTER THAT LENS ,we are committed to facilitating and assisting the journey of healing from traumatic events and mental health crisis.
As the mythical Phoenix represents hope, courage and perseverance while rising from the ashes of it's combustion, we are passionate about supporting all those who have been affected by their mental health and seek healing from the past.
The Allegory of the Phoenix
To the naked eye, the Phoenix represents pure beauty. But this aesthetic beauty is somewhat contradicted by the birds destruction by combustion for seemingly no reason at all. Having completed its destruction, this extraordinary COUNSELOR OF HOPE is effortlessly transformed into an admirable SYMBOL of encouragement.
The Phoenix not only rises from the ashes of its complete dismantling, it continues with a proverbial clean slate upon the presentation of a new beginning.
As we delve deeper, we learn that beauty, being merely 'skin deep', is certainly a damaging/destructive literal interpretation of what a living being feels internally - in their soul. As human beings, for the most part, we use our eyes and ears to form an impression about anything new that we encounter n front of us, relying instinctively on these two of our five senses.
The truth is that YOU DO have the ability rise from the ashes of unbearable hurt and pain. Every one of us has the innate ability to reset and start from scratch. It is not easy and it differs from one to the next. While I am not qualified to offer advice, I do know that the ability to change is within you. Everyday you have an opportunity to start with a clean slate - like a reborn Phoenix - equipped to improve your life as well as the lives of those around you.
