Ryther. Why this place saves lives + How YOU can help

Seattle has a place that saves lives.  It is called Ryther 

Ryther is a therapeutic center for kids.  A place where kids find healing and hope. CLICK here for a VIDEO of what they do

Now, Hold up a hot second. This place saves more than kids- they save the adults around them AND society as a whole

I know this because Ryther saved my nephew, Noah AND me.

To keep saving lives they need YOUR help  CLICK HERE to learn about the GIVE BIG Project this May 8th, 2019

I pretty much know – Noah and I might not be here (on earth) had it not been for Ryther.

I’ll keep this short.. Noah’s mother, my sister, stuggles with Paranoid Schizophrenia and Borderline Personality Disorder. Due to her struggles – Noah’s life was crazy. He had 2 different names and moved 14 times by the time he was 9 years old. Her psychotic episodes left him abandoned in a hotel room at age 4, abandoned at a police station at age 7, locked in a bathroom without electricity or water at age 8.. and many more I feel too difficult to share.

Noah was 9 when he came to live with me full time. He was literally a trapped soul. He had nervous ticks and behaviors that harmed his own body daily and alienated him from people around him.

I had no idea how hard it would be to navigate daily life with his trauma’s and struggles… but also the drama and stress that comes with having a mentally ill family member.

I was in over my head – FAR over. Life got real hard, Real Fast. I know now – had it not been for getting Noah into Ryther’s counseling services- he would never have worked through all that pain, so he could actually LIVE life.

Ryther gave me the tools ( we did therapy work together) so I could keep my shit together and honestly, see a bit of light daily.  I can say now that times got so hard – that I didn’t think I could keep caring for Noah and I thought of ending my own life.

Ryther truly gave us healing and hope – a simple path to stay on, when we could hardly lift our own heads up.

We were so trapped in our family’s fear, anger and hurt – we stopped feeling. Ryther gave us the muscle to unwrap these layers of fear so we could find ourselves and stay ALIVE way better.  Noah’s mom got the treatment and help she needed and stays stable with daily meds.

Noah and I found how great life can be and no enjoy fully being in the world. We are making the world way more awesome.. Thanks to Ryther

Please, Give BIG today

Happy Mother’s Day!  From me and Noah (He’s now 15! )

Your 2021 Blueprint

If it’s important enough to live by, it’s important enough to put in place.

This is about setting yourself up so you can make better decisions better. Lay out this board & put it up somewhere where you see it every darn day. I have a photo on my phone – so on days I’m not at home I see it. Watch, Do & Enjoy!

Follow my 5 step guide below.

5 steps to a Blueprint that Works

1. Buy a big white poster board 

(Cheap from Bartells- mine was $0.99, Fred Meyer, Target…)  gather up some colored pencils a Sharpie, pair of scissors and some scotch tape

2. Collect Images of what you wanna bring into your life this next year.

I like scrolling through my phone for good memories that I want more of/ need to sustain me. For example people in your life you should connect with more often, coaches/guides you need to check in with to stay awesome/get stronger (on any level)

Practices you need to keep doing: meditating, singing, dancing, walking outside, connecting with good friends, showing up early and ready.

After you have those – Google image search – or thumb through some cool magazines to find stuff you want for yourself.. maybe a kitchen remodel, some awesome new people in your life, skinny jeans, a more flexible body, more money.. ANything! Have fun with this

3.  The GAME CHANGER !

Write out EXACTLY what you have to do to get AND keep each thing in your life 

ex:  I want to show up better for my friends, students & boyfriend. That means:  I’ve got to  – show up 5 mins early, settle myself for 5-10 mins before (deep breath walk outside) stretching and putting my phone down 5 mins before a friend call or zoom session.  I’ve also got to meditate for at least 5 mins every AM – and give myself 20 mins to move and hydrate + enjoy  my coffee before I interact with anyone (except my cat Nina). All that needs to happen for me to simply “Show Up Better”

4. Put down exactly how much time you must give to that intention

Each thing you put on takes time.

Some may take more time than others, be super realistic about what you put up for yourself. Use my example above. If I say I’ll be ready for dinner at 5:15 – that means I should be ready and then also budget 5 mins to settle my energy and put myself in a great space to enjoy that with my love.

5. SCHEDULE IT! 

If you don’t schedule it – It doesn’t exist.  This is you taking action – now you just gotta show up. So text your friends – line up those dates, Email your coaches and guides – put the dates and times down 1 month at a time.

See how this works?

Take a critical eye to the stuff you put on your blueprint

  • Can you dedicate the time to what you want?
  • Will you have the energy and money to sustain this?
  • Do you care enough to keep it up?  Ya gotta give at least two shits about each thing:)

I’ll Share the Completed Board with you on Facebook – Jan 2nd.  CLICK HERE to for my FB page
