About 4 months ago, we received a very generous donation for a very odd amount, via our website: $1,209.87. I checked the name & number & called to express my sincere thanks & ask why that specific amount. Morgan Urso, a teenager, had been ostracized by her Illinois youth hockey team & league, bc of …
There’s likely no part of the title of this recent ABC article that shocks anyone, sadly. Upon reading further into it, & other recent articles (spanning the political spectrum) here’s what I’ve come across – calls for proposals to better fund MH. Here’s a sample of one of the article’s asks: That local, state, & …
What We Are Not Doing For Mental Health Amidst COVID Read More »
You may be be looking at this & thinking – but wait, what the…? The phrase aptly ends: “as you would have them do unto you.” It’s the friggin’ Golden Rule. Why’d we change it at all? Isn’t it right to want to treat others how we’d want to be treated, ourselves? And if that …
I’d been searching for words to describe an observation & certain frustrations I’d been feeling recently & went to the web for inspiration. Usually when I do that, something will grab me…exactly what I’ve been feeling, & I’ll share my own take. This time, in searching, this actual quote came up from MLK. Not surprising …
Considering The Broader Concerns Of All Humanity Read More »
A couple of weeks ago, I shared a post about how “familiarity breeds contempt…but it also reveals true character.” Why? We get to know ppl over time, & WHAT we get to know about them, allows us a deeper understanding of what makes them tick. Gonna dive a littler deeper into this one, bc beyond …

I watched this story last night, & it lit up my heart in such a way, I had to share. The example it shows is such a great lesson in what actually brings us closer together. The student on the left, Jake, this past September, shaved his head, in honor of his grandfather who’s fighting …
Sharing Our Similarities Helps Bring About Behavioral Change Read More »
Wear masks, be as safe as you can…but do all you can to keep living life. We thrive off of connection and being WITH those we love. Part of being healthy, physically AND emotionally, is getting the “nourishment” we need. My niece is a big part of mine.
Saw a quote similar to this one, at the right time yesterday. So…tweaked a few things on it, (specifically the way it originally spoke in totalities), & figured now, when it’s relevant to recent personal experiences I’ve had, is the best time to share. In a proverbial sense, our “orchestras” consist of any one person, …
Why Leading Can Require Turning Our Back On The Crowd Read More »
A friend sent over a post the other day that was shared by another well-meaning group in this MH space. It was during Mental Illness Awareness Wk, & the msg was simple: “MI is NOT, the following things.” It then went on to list the things that it’s not, such as: “a choice, an excuse, …
Was gonna take today off from posting, then this happened. Horrific injury to @_4dak in yesterday’s game. If you haven’t seen it, just a terrible break of an ankle you wish no one would ever have to go through. Thoughts, prayers & well wishes poured in from around the world of sports & beyond, as …
