                                                                                                                   Welcome

Hello and welcome. I am SoulThought, and I am a Verified Listener and an AL4-level listener. I am passionate about providing support to individuals who are experiencing challenges in their lives. I also love offering peer support and am a Peer Support Professional and Mental Health Coach. My personal and shared experiences enable me to achieve a deeper level of empathy and understanding. 

I have served in different mental health/peer support roles as a volunteer for years. Volunteering is a significant part of my life and plays a key role in my own healing and recovery. I currently have a few active volunteer positions outside of 7 Cups. I am an active and dedicated Hospice Doula (hospice volunteer), a peer support group host on an amazing peer support site, and a volunteer with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). I also enjoy volunteering through my church.

Aside from the college degree I am earning, I am a serious student of psychoanalysis. I adhere to a blend of Freudian/neo-Freudian as well as Jungian theories. Psychoanalysis makes sense out of the world around me as well as myself. I view most things from a psychoanalytic perspective, which works well since psychoanalysis is similar to both philosophy and theology in the sense that it can be applied to nearly everything.

Everyone is welcome to reach out to me without exception. You deserve to be heard and know that all of your feelings are valid. This is a confidential and safe space open to anyone seeking support. My door is always open. 

                                                                                                            Peace be with you.

Favorite comfort foods during the fall season?

...See more Hello Grief and Loss Community. I hope you are all doing well. I hope everyone has the support they need for the holiday season. If you do not know how, how could that be changed? Also, what are everyone's favorite comfort foods or treats in the holiday season? I am always curious about what others share because I enjoy trying new things. Personally, I find eggnog to be my favorite treat, which typically appears a few weeks before Thanksgiving and remains available through Christmas.  I always love hearing from everyone and appreciate their ideas and comments. Peace be with you all, SoulThought

All Saints Day and All Souls Day
Religion & Spirituality / by SoulThought

...See more This is an inspiring weekend, as The Feast of All Saints (All Saints' Day) is this Sunday, followed by All Souls' Day on Monday evening. These two feast days are very significant red-letter days on the liturgical calendar. I have had a lot of people lately asking precisely what is so special about each of them.   All Saints' Day is a service dedicated to life and living essentially. It is the day we celebrate salvation and all living members of the earthly communion of saints. It is a day to celebrate life. It is also one of two major days on the liturgical calendar for baptisms. All Souls Day is the day and service dedicated to honoring and commemorating the dead and salvation. A day to celebrate loved ones who have passed away, becoming members of the heavenly communion of saints. These two services became very significant to me after my mom passed away. So, tomorrow morning will be a magnificent and grand Solemn High Mass, and Monday will be a Low Mass. The more special the day, the more incense is used, resulting in some people rushing to the front door to catch a breath. I wish everyone a happy All Saints Day and All Souls Day. Peace be with you all.

...See more Hello Grief and Loss Community. I hope everyone is doing well as we begin the weekend. Personally, I am freezing since it went from shorts weather directly to thick sweater weather without any gradual transition.  If you feel like sharing, what has been, or continues to be, the most helpful way for you to deal with your grief? We all have a great deal of wisdom and insight that could really help one another. I am looking forward to reading everything anyone feels like sharing. Peace be with you.

...See more Hello, Grief & Loss Community. I just wanted to wish everyone a great week. Remember with grief that some days we can take things five minutes at a time. Other days, we may get up to 30 minutes or an hour at a time. We may then have to go back to 5-minute intervals. We are stronger than we usually think and give ourselves credit for. Grief can teach us many new and great things about ourselves and allow us to see that we are a lot stronger than we realized. You are here, which shows strength. I am happy we all share this community.  Peace be with you all.

Prayer beads used by some for better prayer.
The Church Cares / by SoulThought
Last post
October 24th, 2025
...See more Prayer beads have been an integral part of various Christian traditions for centuries. Prayer beads are also a regularly used tool in several other world religions, such as Buddhism and Hinduism. And we all use the prayer beads for the same reason. Where they are very helpful in counting prayers, there is one more important reason. Prayer beads aid in mindfulness and focus during prayer meditation. It is due mainly to the tactile sensation. For many people, it is challenging to concentrate and focus while praying, especially since it is a moment when intrusive thoughts compete for attention—feeling the beads in your hand grounds your attention, centering it on the bead and, in effect, the prayer. The most widely used and well-recognized prayer beads in Christianity are the Roman Rosary used by the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches in an official capacity. In the Episcopal Church USA, we have Anglican Prayer Beads, also known as the Anglican Rosary. The Episcopal Church USA has not made praying with Anglican Prayer Beads an official church-wide practice; however, many Anglo-Catholic Episcopalians, like myself, have adopted them and sometimes gather in groups to pray with them. There are a few prayers that have been informally designated the main prayers to use the beads for, but the best part is that prayers are encouraged to create their own personal, unique prayers to fit them. Another critically important use of prayer beads is their repetition. (e.g., 10 "hail Mary's" in a row, pause for the Lord's prayer, then 10 more consecutive "hail Mary's). Repetition is a major way our minds really take things in more deeply, as well as create a habit. Prayer beads are not for everybody, and many people may not need them. For me, the prayers for the Anglian Rosary have enhanced my spiritual life and ability to meditate more than anything else mindfully. I also love the freedom to create my own prayers to use with them. God's peace be with you.

Midterms
Student Support / by SoulThought
Last post
October 16th, 2025
...See more For many of us in college, we are approaching or have already reached midterms for the Fall 2025 semester. Personally, I am flabbergasted that we are already at that point...time flies. At these pivotal moments in our academic lives, it may also be beneficial to use the time to assess our practical coping skills and identify any potential new ones if needed. Having a variety of coping skills can help reduce the risk of becoming ineffective. It is always good to have a well-stocked self-care toolbox.  College is stressful, but it is also hopefully rewarding. Whether you attend classes in person, online, or in a hybrid format, the stress can be triggering. If anyone needs to talk, please don't hesitate to reach out. Everyone, facing midterms, I hope they go well for you. Peace be with you.
