While I believe this is a great time to help other people, I also think this is the time we need to pay special attention to our own mental health and specifically how much negative information we will allow/invite into our brains during this crisis. Too little and we may not be facing the brutal facts of our situation. Too much and we may bog ourselves down, hurting our efforts to move, work and/or study in these trying times.

Healing From Mental Illness: What You Can't See, You Can't See

Years ago, in the middle of my agoraphobic, social phobic, depressed state, you could’ve never convinced me that healing from mental illness was possible, probable even. Like a tornado crushes a trailer park, mental illness ravaged my entire life. And I couldn’t see beyond the swirling debris the tornado of mental illness was tossing all around me…

Peace is a Road, Not a Destination

Years ago, I believed peace was something we got and kept when we figured out its magic formula. The harder I tried to catch it, the quicker it moved away though…like trying to grab a fly. Then, after open-heart surgery, I discovered that I’d been on the road of peace for quite some time. I was just driving so intently that I didn't see the signage…
