• Today, I turn 34. I found myself wondering what to wish for when it came to my celebrating today, and after thinking and praying on it, the following emerged. 🎉 May I always have a listening ear for someone who needs it. May I always have a kind word for someone who needs to hear it. 🎉 May I always see the silver lining in a grey sky May I always be able to walk with my head held high. 🎉 May I have an abundance of beauty and goodness around me. May I always recognise that God dwells within me. 🎉 And last, but certainly not least, may I always be able to smile and laugh because the smile is the beginning of love (St Teresa of Calcutta). 🎉 This is my wish for today, for every day, not just for myself, but for you as well. So celebrate with me!! *Cue happy birthday song out of key* Okay okay where's the cake? I need wine!!! Sushi!!!! Or maybe some Thai food... 🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 #happybirthday #happybirthdaytome #turning34 #adayinthelifeofnellyb #bloggerbirthday #ithoughtiturned35 #feelingblessed #triniblogger #caribbeanblogger #birthdayblessings #imgettingold #foreverblessed #birthdaygirl

  • What do you see when you look in the mirror? I've had a long time of self loathing. All I could look at were my flaws. Till one day something changed, it was if my eyes were finally opened and I was able to see the true beauty within me. . As I countdown to my birthday, I continue to make it my mission to change see my beauty when I stare at my reflection. On Saturday I attended the @closetred @lights_cameras_curves event and let me tell you, seeing these beautiful voluptuous plus size women strutting their stuff effortlessly was beyond amazing. . It served as the perfect reminder that I am worthy of love, I deserve good things, and that my body, is beautiful. . There is beauty in all of us, you just need to look with truly opened eyes. . So tell me how, what do you see when you look in the mirror? . PS: I stole this romper from my mother in law, she paid just $40TT for it at @mysins_daughter_fashion_centre . #ilovemenobuts #loveyourself #selflove #bodypositive #adayinthelifeofnellyb #triniblogger #caribbeanblogger #caribbeangirlswhoblog #plussizeblogger #plussizefashion

  • I will lift up mine eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help. Where does your help come from? So many of us who struggle with mental health are afraid to ask for help. We think that we can handle it on our own, we feel like no one will take us seriously. . It is unfortunate, that society still has this stigma regarding mental health, though in the past few years, I have seen, albeit small, improvements in how we treat with issues of mental disorders. I hope that the momentum continues. Contrastingly, I've also seen an odd trend of persons who are literally boasting about how anxious/depressed they are. This is weird. It's like there's a competition to see who's the most messed up mentally. . I find myself wondering what will it take for things to be put in place to properly aid those who suffer from severe depression/anxiety, bipolar disorder et al? To adequately aid persons who need counselling, or medication to function in our society. Could this whole situation at this Centre in Arouca be our wake up call? I can only hope so. . Meanwhile, so many suffer in silence. This is why I speak up about my own struggles with anxiety, because I want to show those who do battle this daily that we can thrive in spite of it. . And for those who are quick to say that I can pray my anxiety away, listen VERY CAREFULLY. Faith without works is dead (James 2:26). While prayer is crucial to me keeping anxiety at bay, I know that I can also do other things that complement it. . I guess what I'm trying to say, as we celebrate World Mental Health Day, is that it's okay to have Jesus and a therapist too. Don't be afraid to seek help, but at the same time, our country needs to do a lot better regarding facilities that cater to mental health. Because what we have now, is clearly is not enough. . 📷 @daniellesalloum . . #itsokaytohaveJesusandatherapist #worldmentalhealthday #worldmentalhealthday2019 #mentalhealth #adayinthelifeofnellyb #battlinganxiety #anxiety #GeneralAnxietyDisorder #normalizetherapy #mentalhealthmatters #counselingworks #youarenotalone #breakstigmas #lifeintrinidadandtobago
