Sharing one of her poems with you today.

It's Ok!

Yesterday you were fine

Today the stars don't align

There's nothing wrong with you

So quit beating yourself up

And don't allow your head to drop.

It's ok!

Shit happens on a daily

Even when we least expect!

Don't be crying over spilt milk,

'Cause it's already on the floor!

Simply pour yourself some more.

It's ok!

We were not built of bricks

So admitting defeat

Does not render you weak!

Help is there if you need it.

Life is a constant struggle

When you're living in a concrete jungle!

So scream, shout

Reach out.

It's ok!

Heartbreak is not defined by status.

So don't shy away

Tomorrow is another day

A new chapter begins.

Embrace the mistakes!

Put your best foot forward - ready, set, go

Don't allow others to dictate your pace,

This is your race!

And that's ok! It's ALL ok!
