Desensitization does not mean we don't care. In so many cases it is an indicator that we care TOO MUCH. It is an defense mechanism against losing our minds completely. I, for some reason, just don't have this. In some ways I wish I did. Yes, we have always had to deal with terrible issues, but now we are inundated by it every minute of the day though news, social media, etc. It takes it's toll. You may feel numb and as if you just need to concentrate on what is immediately surrounding you. That is okay. We all need to do what we need to do to survive. IT is so overwhelming that we can become depressed, angry, indignant, fearful, grief-stricken....overcome with very heavy emotions that can make it difficult to cope in everyday life. We are human. Our compassion is one of our most defining characteristics no matter what the news would have you believe. Those emotions are not things we should just ignore or pretend not to have.. It is okay to be despondent sometimes. To lose hope. It is impossible not to once in a while in this world But there is always HOPE. The very reason we experience these emotions is reason for hope. It is what drives us to make life better for first ourselves, the ones we love and the world around us. So even in the deepest despair take comfort that it is because of those emotions we become so much more than we thought we ever could. Love, Mishka.

One of my fondest memories of childhood (or maybe a LITTLE older ;)) was being outside on a summer's night catching fireflies.. Or as I thought of them... fairies. That wonder of watching these floating glimmers of light emerge seemingly out of thin air. The sense of magic and whimsy that enveloped me.... That belief that maybe I would actually catch a fairy... which I still believe is possible...Or standing in the rain just letting it pour down over my head and laughing and dancing with joy. Yes we have to grow up...but there are things we will NEVER outgrow, nor should we. I am going to tell you a secret... shhh..... There is magic EVERYWHERE. In the air we breathe, in a summer storm, in the laugh of a child.... we all see those. But there ARE fairies... (they will get mad if you refuse to believe..and we do NOT want to piss off the fairies), angels, and all sorts of magical creatures.. we have just been told they don't exist so much that we cannot see them any longer. Take a deep breath, smile, laugh and be still for a moment and let that delicious enchantment wash over you once more. BELIEVE... in all things magical and impossible (the more impossible the better)...but most of all in the magic of your own soul. It is capable of ANYTHING... Your imagination and the love in your heart are the only limits... the best part of this... there ARE no limits.. BE THE MAGIC... Love, Mishka

My angels, please know that whatever you are feeling, whatever you are going through.. allow yourself the gift of understanding you would bestow upon others. Emotions are what make us human. We cannot control how we feel, but we can try to be the best of ourselves, especially when we are down at our worst. It is NOT a failure. The only true failure is when we stop trying, when we give up. That is why God gave us HOPE. Sometimes it is the only thing keeping us holding on. Accept it for what it is...acknowledgement of what we are going through no matter how trivial others may see it, or how devastating it is.... and the truth that there is a light on the other side. That is truly what HOPE is...the light at the end of the tunnel. It is one of the most beautiful gifts we have been given by our creator with the exception if love. Do not beat yourself up. Feel what you are feeling and move forward the best you can. If you need help seeing that light...reach out...that is what we are all here for.... to help each other. Hang in there. The storm will pass. But for now be who you are ...at this moment. Accept that person and love them and show them the kindness you would show another. Stop being so hard on yourself. We are not supposed to be perfect. KNOW that. Love Mishka
