When Tiffany was going through her worst of times between 2004 and 2010, I journaled all about the seemingly never-ending series of traumatic events. It helped me sort through the constant barrage of thoughts and feelings that were running through my head, and it helped our family keep track of all the things that were happening. Because let’s be real. Things got more than a little crazy.

To this day, those 231 pages of raw, unedited single-spaced content sit for my eyes only. I always believed those journal entries could be turned into a book that would help individuals and families battling significant mental illness and addiction issues. But as you might imagine, writing that book would be an enormous undertaking. There is a ridiculous amount of raw material to sort through and organize into a cohesive storyline. I do not take the prospect of that project lightly and know it would require a significant emotional, spiritual and mental investment. God will lead if and when the time is right.

In January 2015, I invited my sister to be a regular contributor on this website. My hope is that Tiffany’s stories will raise awareness of what it’s like to live with a mental illness. But I’m also hoping her stories will help readers recognize that we all have hopes, dreams, and mountains to climb regardless of our mental health status.

Below are links to all the stories written about my sister or by my sister. Tiffany and I are honored to have you visit this page! Make yourself comfortable and take a peek around. Perhaps you’ll recognize glimpses of your story in the pages of Tiffany’s story.
