🩵 In honor of World Mental Health Day 🩵

To my authors, creatives, and book lovers—this is your reminder that your mind and overall wellness is more valuable than what you create.

We often pour out so much into words, pages, and people... that we forget to refill our own cup. But your creativity flows best from a healthy, rested, and renewed mind.

👉🏾Writers: It’s okay to pause the manuscript to care for you.
👉🏾Creatives: You are not your productivity. Your peace matters too.
👉🏾Readers: Find comfort, reflection, and restoration in the stories that speak to your soul.

Listen! The Bible reminds us of this truth: "I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers...” — 3 John 1:2

As you nurture your creativity today and everyday alike, remember your peace and well-being is the breeding ground for birthing your best work!

Take a moment to:
💭 Drop a “🌿” if you’re choosing peace over pressure today.
📖 Tag another author or creative who needs this reminder.
🕊️ Share this post to spread encouragement this World Mental Health Day.

Your mind is the garden where your creativity grows. Tend to it with grace and guard it with love. 🩵
