My name is Shannon, owner of Ana Olivette, a company I created to honor my grandmothers "Ana" and "Olivette".  I am a wife, a mother of five and  an elementary school teacher.  My company and blog focuses on mental health awareness, self love, overall positivity and personal growth.  It is my desire that my company and blog be a source of motivation for my readers.  I am a trauma survivor and have spent many years trying to overcome the results of trauma in my life.  I want you to know that you are not alone and there is hope.  Hope for inner strength, peace and better days to come.  I offer advice based on my own experience and reading.  So, cozy up and get ready to learn about all that I know about mental health, particularly, Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD).
