Where to start?

To anyone taking the time to read this... THANK YOU! 

I have created a blog before, many years ago, but struggled with follow through. (If you know me, you are nodding at how true that statement is.) I've been thinking for quite a while now at giving it another try. I don't know how long it will last or if anyone wants to read what I have to say, but here I go. 

Here's a little about me to start. My name is Robbi. I am a sinner, saved by Grace. I am NOT perfect! I am dating an incredible man. I am an aunt to 3 nieces and 3 nephews and have some of the best friends in the world. I'm a fur-mom to two amazing animals (1 cat, 1 dog). I love my job for the first time in many years. I am active in my church and love what we are doing to grow in service to our community. I have been through some pretty traumatic things in my life and come out the other side of them. I struggle with my mental health and work to learn better coping skills every day. I have a list a mile long of tasks, goals and achievements I struggle to work towards. Take right now for example, I should be doing laundry, washing dishes, cleaning, even finishing my Sunday School lesson for this week, but here I sit, writing this out. 

I have a few goals in starting this new blog.

- Inspire and enrich the lives of anyone who reads this.

- Share parts of my life people don't normally see.

- Open a door for anyone who needs to reach out for prayers, advice, or someone to listen. 

- Ask for thoughts and ideas on what to write about.

- Share things I've experienced so no one feels alone in their pain.

- Normalize talking about mental health.

I have no schedule on which I plan to post. I have no idea on what I will write from one blog to the next. All I know is that reading other people's blogs throughout the years have helped me in some dark places and if I can do that for just one other person, then it is worth the time I spend doing it. 

Thank you for reading this far! If you have any ideas for what I should say next, I am always open to hearing them. If there is anything you want to know about me or if you need prayers, you can comment or email me privately at robbi.danlea@gmail.com. God has called me to be open, to be vulnerable, and to be share my story, so here I go.

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline" - 2 Timothy 1:7

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord. 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek and find me when you seek me with all your heart'" - Jeremiah 29:11-13

    The Lord spoke both of these verses to my heart earlier tonight. Now, after reading this I am amazed at how He worked. He is reconfirming this to me through your blog. Keep listening to the Holy Spirit. You never know who He will touch. I'm proud of you for going for it! Keep it up girl.

"Main Character"

  Hello again and THANK YOU so much for coming back to read what I have to say. Today I wanted to talk about something that took me WAY too many years to learn.  Let me lead with I have spent the majority of my life struggling with my mental health. I have struggled with what other people thought of me and let other people's thoughts and actions dictate how I lived my life. As I went through multiple rounds of therapy and even a couple months of outpatient rehab, I learned many different coping skills for stress as it comes up. There is no one right answer for living with mental health issues. Everyone is different and everyone needs different forms of coping skills. For some, meditating works wonders. For me, I just fall asleep when I try to meditate. For others it can be alleviated by sensory items such as touching, smelling, hearing, tasting or seeing certain things, that can reset the direction of their mind. The biggest thing that helped for me was owning my feelings. I...

"Listening to God"

I mentioned in my last post that my goal in life is to leave the world a better a place than I found it! I am attaching my Link Tree info here for anyone who wants to access it.  https://linktr.ee/robbi.danlea Included in my LinkTree: 1.)  I have the link to this blog page to make it easier to find in the future.  2.) I have a link to a Spotify playlist I had created for myself full of songs that help me in my daily life to reset my mind. (If you do not use Spotify and would like a playlist for Youtube instead, let me know and I will work diligently on creating one.) 3.) I have a link to my CashApp account as I have decided to start an outreach program. ANY and ALL amount you send me, will go to helping others in need. I will not keep even a penny of it for myself. I am giving you the option of dictating how it is used and if you do not, it will go towards food/clothing for those in need, donating to charities, and spreading love and positivity into the broken world aroun...
