This Mother’s Day and Mental Health Awareness Month and I want to thank Mavi for being there for me in every moment- not just the happy ones.  As many of you know I battle depression and while I am still learning to live with it, having Mavi in my life has really helped. It’s like an ocean… it goes out and it comes in. It can be all consuming and when it hits I am plagued with fatigue and emptiness. During that time nothing seems to shine. I’m very lucky that I always have Mavi by my side begging for a walk or willing to cuddle when I am a prisoner to my bed. Together we always get to the other side.   I partnered for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth with @nulopetfood in support of the silent battle so many of us are fighting. Awareness is the first step, then from there it’s dissolving the stigma that surrounds mental health and keeps us hiding our private battles. If you are struggling- just know that you are not alone and there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
