Allow me to introduce myself. I’m L.M. Lawrence the author of “The Other Side of DC.” My friends and family call me Blondie. It would be an honor if you considered me as your friend. I would like to introduce you to my up and coming blog Mental Hugs. Mental Hugs is a blog design to give moral support to individuals or persons who may have family members or friends suffering from any form of addiction, mental health issues or any disorder that are causing them to be overwhelmed with everyday life. I do not claim to be a medical doctor or expert in these fields. I’m only a woman who has suffered from drug addiction and mental illness for most of my life.
