Sometimes, new is good. I hope you’ll overlook the fact that I am reposting. I wanted to see what this looked like. Maybe I’ll post something like this every end-of-month, so in case you didn’t read a post, they are all in one place.
So, what do you think?
Besides, trying something new is good, right? And considering it’s the end of the month, it works out well.
Plus, I like being able to see my posts this way as well. It’s been two months of reflection and sorting things out. Mental health, identifying the truly important, and relationships. Some pretty heady subjects. But what else is there to do in these two dark, cold months?

If faith doesn’t work during times of illness, when will it?
I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.
It’s true. My writing experience can actually help you improve your own life skills. This is a two-part post. The rest will be in two days.

You might think it’s pens and/or pencils, that would be a good one. But that’s not it. Remember, it’s 2,000 pieces. Read more
Holy cow. This is so exciting. Today is the first day, I’ve held my physical book in my hand. Other people have purchased copies but I waited until I got my free books as part of my contract. Everyone told me it looked really good and really professional but it’s been such a long haul, Read more
So, how does this author feel? At peace. Now, first of all, I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel in the first place. Is there a standard response? Do most authors feel the same way. Like elated, over the moon, excited, important…..? I must be an odd duck because I don’t feel any of Read more
First, love deeply How we balance relationship responsibilities is important to our overall mental health. Relationships are one of the most important parts of our lives and when we’re depressed, they can get complicated. I love these words from Henri Nouwen: Do not hesitate to love and to love deeply.

Hi. I'm so glad you're here.
My blog focuses on faith and mental health issues such as mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and dysthymia (chronic low moods that don't qualify as depression.) I post DIY and decorating projects when I can.
My book, "Depression Has A Big Voice. Make Yours Bigger! (Expanded Edition), is on sale at all online retailers. I have a Psychology degree and post-graduate courses in Clinical Pastoral Education. I am a former hospital chaplain, Bible teacher, and retreat/conference inspirational speaker.
Thank you for visiting and may you feel God's presence today.
