Meet Faith

What's up, everybody? My name is Faith. Introductions are always hard for me because I am still trying to figure out who I am. Yeah, I’m a wife and Mother but that’s not who I am. I met my husband almost 18 years ago. He showed me what being taken care of was supposed to look and feel like. We got married in 2007, bought our first house in 2008, and had our only son in 2010. Shortly after that, He accepted a position at the local fire department and we started navigating the world of the fire service. Spoiler alert, “Rescue me” does not provide a realistic image of what “fire families” are like. We are raising our son with what some would probably consider old-world views. He is expected to use manors and play outside. We are often told we are too hard on him. I don’t think we are. He is turning into a fine young man with a work ethic and a willingness to step up and help when he is needed. He has adopted the same love of motorcycles as his father and grandfather have. He started r...

And  that is when  the first joke came… “I feel like I was hit by a truck!”  She just looked at me, shook her head, and laughed.  I asked what all happened, but fell asleep before I got the answer. Oh,  blessed pain meds, you were my best friend! The next morning waking up in pain again  I got to meet my new nurse .  She explained to me everything that happened, and what was up next.  I had a compound fracture on my right leg, my foot had been degloved, and my  Achilles  tendon  was cut in half.  She was there to prep me for another surgery.  I was scared and wa...

Mental Health and the Workplace...

Image
We have all worked someplace where we weren't happy, or it wasn't good for us mentally but did you know? The average person spends around 90,000 hours or  one-third of their life at work , so it’s important to ensure we’re in a healthy mind space while there.   Maintaining positive mental health is critical to health and well-being. But it’s also important to our success at work and the success of our employers.  Managers take note...if your employee isn't happy your not getting what you are paying them to do! Are aware that individuals struggling with mental health issues are at greater risk for a variety of health conditions. But did you know they're also at greater risk for disability, unemployment, and underemployment?  Poor mental health and stress can negatively affect (this is not an all-inclusive list): Job performance and productivity Engagement with one’s work Communication with coworkers Physical capability and daily functioning Are you working in a g...
