Lovelee Motivation...My Accountability Partner

Hello, my name is Sharonda and I am the creator and founder of Lovelee Motivation. Lovelee Motivation is a community created to inspire, motivate and empower individuals to step into the present and embrace a Grateful Attitude, Joyful Heart, and a Blessed Mentality. My purpose is to serve you with inspiring quotes, an authentic testimony of my battle with depression and a safe place for accountability for others who deal with mental illness. 

Just a little bit about me, I'm a photographer and mother of 3 that has battled depression since the age of 15. Throughout the years, I was able to confine all of my energy into my children, my education and my career, which allowed me to evade my thoughts of depression and self-mutilation, until November 2014.  After the painful end of a relationship, I was propelled into somewhat of a downward spiral. Completely unprepared for what was happening to me emotionally, this breakup seemed to strike my soul and I couldn't be strong. It was so overwhelming. And in November 2014 my battle with depression and cutting once again reared it's ugly head. 

As this blogging relationship grows I will divulge more about my past in cutting. Yeah, it's my past right  now because I haven't cut since September 20, 2015, after yet another painful relationship woe. So, Lovelee Motivation is not only here to serve you with beautiful images designed with motivational quotes around being grateful, joyful and blessed, it's my accountability partner. 

I don't want to cut anymore and I want to focus on the positive. It's all about a mindset and paradigm shift. Mental illness is a strange thing and is quite exhausting. It's not like we want to be sad, but we definitely have to exert a ton of energy to turn something around in our minds, in our souls, our hearts. Like I said, it's a paradigm shift that goes down to our subconscious mind. If only it were as easy as chanting an affirmation. Lol.

Therefore, I'm inviting you to embark on this journey with me of being present in all the beautiful things we have around us, sharing our stories, and growing as healthy individuals that truly love ourselves. I look forward to reading your comments, your stories and connecting with you on a deeper level!
