Following the recent experience of my mother’s sudden death, I began writing encouraging, inspiring and motivational notes in a daily effort to inspire myself to live. Writing became a coping mechanism for me as I dealt with grief and other oppositions. Life started to take a very difficult course as I fought to stay afloat in the shift of it all. Consequently, I created “PUSH PRAY LIVE,” a blog meant to encourage and inspire individuals to live. The title of the blog was formed as I struggled with pushing past my heartbreaks, failures and every negative emotion imaginable in my attempts to survive life. It was my desire to encourage and motivate, as well as to share my personal testimony with the world.
