  • Challenged

    I grew up hearing an idiom, “you don’t miss the water until the well runs dry”. I have always admired those athletes who are physically challenged and how they push themselves competing in the para-lympics. Many times it is so easy to complain about aches and pains, yet having no challenges in the physical. Since…

  • Out Of Hospital

    “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”― Søren Kierkegaard I am old enough to remember watching the nightly news with my parents as they re-played the most shocking news of the day, President Richard Nixon resigns as of noon the next day.

  • If— 

    If you can keep your head when all about you        Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,     But make allowance for their doubting too;    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,     Or being lied about, don’t deal in…

  • Commentary: I Am Not A Woman

    This is not a post where I give my approval or disapproval to the issue of abortion. It is a post that I have been giving thought to since yesterday, Friday, morning. I ask you not to infer one way or the other of where I may stand. “I recognize no rights but human rights…

  • Social Media; Mass Shooters and Manifestos

    We need to start identifying the triggers that aggravate mental health issues in our society – bullying, social media negativity and anxiety, gender based violence, substance abuse, stigma around issues such as maternal issues, etc., and we need to speak up about these more and get to the source of the problems. Sanam SaeedRead more…

  • Commentary: When Words Are Not Enough

    ” I’m sorry for your loss!” “My condolences!” “I will be praying for you!” Once again America is in shock, another mass shooting at an elementary school.

  • Motivational Poem- “Don’t Quit-Jill Wolf”

    Don’t quit when the tide is lowest,For it’s just about to turn;Don’t quit over doubts and questions,For there’s something you may learn.Don’t quit when the night is darkest,For it’s just a while ’til dawn;Don’t quit when you’ve run the farthest,For the race is almost won.Don’t quit when the hill is steepest,For your goal is almost…

  • Clarification – Comments On Subject

    Lately I have been having difficulty approving some comments. These comments were not harassment, or even vulgar.

  • Influenced? Influencer?

    Power is a tool, influence is a skill; one is a fist, the other a fingertip. Nancy Gibbs This is not about mental health. It is not about my recovery. It is about two words, influenced and influencer. I am not a professional marketer. In secondary school I did, however, I took marketing classes for…
