I'm being obedient, not sure why exactly I was prompted to record this video. Hope it helps someone! #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #giftbasket #giftbasketideas #fyp
We all love you. I pray you don't give up on the gift baskets as you have done a fabulous job on them. Waiting is ok, gift baskets will be here when you are ready. Your other supplies will be there when you're ready. The hardest times make you that much stronger. Love you and wishing you the very best.
Don’t give up, it’s very important that you get help with therapy and/or medication. I will tell anyone who will listen that I suffer from depression, I’m no longer ashamed or embarrassed . Some days are better than others, but one thing is for sure, I’m continuing to fight for peace in my Life and I want you to do the same. I retired due to stress from everyday life and working as a Criminal Defense Attorney in my own practice. As you said and I reiterate; praying, medication, and/or therapy all work well together. Wish you hadn’t left Memphis, the City has its problems, but the plus is “great down home people”. I can relate to feeling especially sensitive to how people respond to you in every day situations. Depression does seem to magnify everything, but your awareness of this will help also. We are not in the same City, but we can support each other from afar. You are not alone, this Basket Community is wonderful, we won’t like everyone but a connection with even one person will help. I’m here for you if you need to talk❤❤❤.
@@kokgiftbaskets thank you so much. Yes I have a therapist, pray, read my word, AND take meds. I’m just in a slump but I’m coming out! Your words of encouragement are much appreciated. I may just take you up on that offer one day. Lol!
I love your obedience to the Lord ❤ we had a Bible study this morning that focused on gratitude vs complaining...I'm not saying you are complaining 🙏 this is your truth ❤ the Lord gives grace to us please give it to yourself ❤ I love your shed...I'm praying for you that God gives you clear direction..I love your honesty...it's OK to cry...just remember if you don't get a job God has an even better one for you! Begin blessings others with your gifts and watch how your heart changes when you aren't thinking of yourself...sounds like your overwhelmed with crafts...do one thing to give away tomorrow and then the next day to someone who can't give back to you ❤ your honesty is wonderful ❤️

Bless your heart. You seem like you’re an empath. That could be very hard and draining trying to do social work. Have you thought about a different field entirely? Education maybe? As for your interests, 😁. I’m a retired educator and for a yr or two I did absolutely nothing but volunteer work with animal rescues, so much that my husband and family were getting concerned. Then all of a sudden my interests exploded! I learned how to do extreme discount shopping and would donate everything to multiple organizations. Then I got into crafting and paper craft and then found the basket community. That’s my passion now. I was trying to spread myself too thin trying to do all these things. I love the basket community because most are very, very supportive. If money is tight right now, use what you have to create very small gifts and do vendor events! This is the perfect time for small gifts in vendor events! Best of luck and good wishes coming your way. Keep your head up and don’t give up! ❤
@@lindawanamaker9592 I am certainly an empath which is why I had to leave my private practice! My clients loved me and I had so many referrals that I couldn’t see them all but it was just too much on me. Yes , believe it or not when I first entered college my major was secondary education. I wanted to be a high school English teacher. I love social work and would love to teach at the college level but it just hasn’t happened for me yet. one population I love is the elderly and have been thinking about doing Geriatric Case Management. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. It means a lot.
Hey Sweetie, I want you to know that you have a lot of people in this community that cares about you. I love hearing you say that you know you are blessed, and you have always been blessed to get anything you desired. . God has blessed you to have an abundance. You are just going through a storm right now and I promise you that you will make it through. I know the containers really isn't what has you upset, it is the depression, but I still wanted to give you a suggestion to grab an empty box and find some pretty wrapping paper, or even some craft paper or anything......wrap the box and use it as a container. I have wrapped so many boxes and used it as a basket and I love the outcome. I hope you know you always have support in this group and you can always reach out if you need to talk. Praying for you Sweetie, You got this💖💖
@@TheCraftyCactusTX Hi I was thinking the same thing as far as using all those goodies you have to decorate a box, or whatever container you have. Yours would be better than store bought, because it would be uniquely decorated by you.
Sweetheart it is ok to feel not ok. Remember what you tell us at the end of your videos!! I was in this same spot as you almost. My husband retired and he has social security but I still work full time. I don’t make a lot and goodness knows he doesn’t. I would watch videos and think oh I wish I had that or oh I need that but I finally stopped and looked around and said girl you have more than a lot of people do. So with what I have I have started making little things and taking them to the nursing home where my mama was before she passed. I make notebooks, cards and other things. When I take them to the elderly it fills my heart to see how much they appreciate what I give them. I may not have all the things or all the money but that feeling I get seeing those old folks light up makes up for the sad thoughts of what I think I don’t have. God is moving through you, just open your mind and your heart and He will show you His plans. His timing not ours. God bless you sweet lady. Head up heart out and rejoice in knowing that this is temporary!! And it is ok to get help, I just went to my doctor and told her I am not able to do this without help. Thankfully I got on medication and I’m getting there.
It's ok to not be ok but please know that God has a plan stay before him in prayer and fasting God's plan and his timing is everything you have already won because God woke you up this morning. Thank God God for what you have I don't have a shead or a craft room and I do all the crafting that you do and more. But I'm thankful Greatful and Blessed because I know that God loves me and I have a personal relationship with him. It's not about what you don't have. But how you appreciate what you have. And that's God's love. It's not about materialistic stuff. Trust God and trust the process.
We all love you. I pray you don't give up on the gift baskets as you have done a fabulous job on them. Waiting is ok, gift baskets will be here when you are ready.

Hey dear. A coach needs a coach. A pastor needs a pastor. A therapist needs a therapist. Thank you for sharing. This will soon be your testimony.
