“It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people then dominate them, more ‘manhood’ to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.” - Alex Karras

It takes a strong mind to try and understand other people and where they’re coming from, relating to people as they are. As an adult, I’ve learned to face problems and negative situations in a peaceful manner. There is no need to try and argue, gossip, and yell. When trying to deal with a negative situation it’s best to remain calm and very politely create your boundaries. My emotions are very strong, as I’m a ‘crazy gal’, but that doesn’t mean that I have to back down to those that are wrong and crossing the boundaries I’ve set to take care of me. When I feel strong emotionally, I’m capable of facing any adversity, so the moral of the story… take your meds, start a habit that empowers you, perhaps you could go shopping ;p and remember you control your life, thoughts, and actions… so, set those boundaries and stick to ‘em! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

The last two days have been absolutely fabulous!!! I feel like I’ve grown sooooo much over the last year, and even more so over the last six months! I finally understand the power that comes along with confidence, true confidence that allows you to keep your head up and demand the respect you deserve from those around you. Please keep in mind, this isn’t an arrogant confidence, rather a peaceful and respectful confidence. As we move through life (in heels of course) we will encounter negative and positive experiences. It’s what you do with these experiences that count the most. I’m now strong and confident enough to face confrontation smack dab in the face… without fear! I can stand tall in my red stilettos, remain calm, and politely excuse negative people and situations out of my life. When you learn to own your own power in a respectful manner and stick up for yourself, the people around you that are negative will be left with their tail between their legs, knowing full well that they’ve “messed up” Girl, you control your life and everything in it, if you don’t like something… get out there and change it!

I can honestly say that I’m happy, confident, peaceful, and yes… blonde but also smart! I’m not sitting in the corner anymore, I’m dancing around in heels excited to begin a new journey! XOXO – CrazyInHeels

As much as I would love to be superwomen, running from one task to the other, it’s nearly impossible to get everything done that I want to get done. After my wedding I’ll be back in full force, providing insight into my crazy life! I’m trying to soak in all of the wedding excitement, enjoy the moment but, unfortunately… it’s been a challenge. I’ve been reminded that life isn’t always “peachy”! Sometimes things happen that just knock me right of my heels, I look up and wonder how some people can be so negative, selfish, and completely ignorant! What I must remember is that I CONTROL MY HAPPINESS, NO ONE ELSE! I’ve been telling myself that for years, but sometimes the “grandiosity” characteristic of manic (inflated feeling of superiority, wanting to fix someone who’s ill, but can’t) must gently subside so I can get back to my shopping, martinis, socializing, and for the love of my shiny red stiletto’s…. be happy! Seriously, these “mood busters” as I’ll kindly refer to them ( a few choice words do come to mind) oh, where was I, trying to forgive and forget the negative people that want so desperately to steal my happiness because they aren’t strong enough to find some of their own! I had a great weekend, and most importantly I’m marrying my handsome, none the less, best friend! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

There is a stigma placed on mental illness and there needs to be an end to it!!! Living with a mental illness is not a death sentence and shouldn’t automatically label and stereotype one as crazy, mental, nuts, hospitalization, harmful, or negative. There are many survivors of mental illness that get up every day and live an outstanding and exemplary life!!! Help us fight the stigma, check out the following websites:
