Because We All Need to Be Reminded ...

September 9-15 was National Suicide Prevention Week.   Almost everyone you know is touched by Suicide, if you ask them.    You can make a difference.   Learn the signs, take the QPR Training   (It's like CPR for mental health) and help prevent suicide.  Save a life.   I wish I'd known QPR 12 years ago, and my dear friend Sandy would be reading these pages, too.

QPR stands for : Question - Persuade - Refer

If you're interested in how I created this image (Yes, it's mine), you can read about it here.

The Audacity of Hope

Never before have I felt like I wanted a picture of an elected official in my living room -- until now.

Doesn't he look like someone you could actually talk to, someone who actually listens? who inspires? I know we all have our work cut out for us in the coming years.

I am hopeful for a better world.
