Book Review: Gabi, a Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero

“Jiggly bits and pieces. Too many rolls. My legs are thin, but I wish my thighs didn’t touch. Ugh. I need to do something about this weight.” These are the intrusive thoughts constantly surrounding Gabi, the protagonist of Gabi, a Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero.Unable to see herself as worth loving because of the way her body is, Gabi’s story is common for many teenagers and adults.

Our Self-Care Gift Exchange 2016 Photos

In 2016 I held our first ever online Self-Care Gift Exchange for anxiety and depression. With 158 participants, thanks to @n0pales  and @nalgonapositivitypride for sharing my post, it was a success! It was a blessing to be able to read all of our stories and current struggles with mind obstacles, and a joy to partner you all with someone who best matched what you both needed.
