Depression…what to do?!

This post is in memory of Robin Williams. We have lost a remarkably brilliant comic mind and acting legend. He had a unique ability to connect with people and with his exquisitely immense humor, despite his own personal struggle. Despite 20 years of sobriety, Robin was about to get help again for his depression. Sadly, he never made it back to the path of healing and chose to end his life and the pain that was too heavy for him to carry any longer.

Dealing with Change!

Today’s a day like any other. If you think about it, the way you greet each day truly sets you up for the experience you will have living it. Your expectations revolve around what you’ve experienced so far, and what you expect about what’s to come. If you stay true to your history and your expectations, you may not adapt well if the reality changes. In other words, when you are open to whatever the day brings, whether positive or negative, you receive the benefits of “going with the flow”.
