Some people are so guarded they work overtime to make it seem like their lives are perfect. Opening up to someone else is unthinkable. They are held hostage by fear. This is why we should show kindness to others. We don’t know what’s going on beneath the surface…

Thoughts…
Life is hard. Life is a struggle. Life holds precious moments and beautiful memories. Life is wonderful and painful, but it’s always moving forward. Focus on each moment, and do not live in the past or too far in the future. You might miss something…
Suicide Awareness…
September is officially the month designated as Suicide Awareness Month. In 2016, suicide became the #2 killer of our kids. It still rages on. Mental health has been shredded through the pandemic. People feel isolated and alone. Hope has been lost. Make sure you are staying connected with your family and friends. If you get a vibe from someone that they might be contemplating suicide, encourage them to seek help. Suicide awareness is a daily practice…

Mark Lehman left a long, esteemed career in public policy to write. His first book, “The Shoebox Chronicles,” was recently published and became a bestseller the first day.

On Fire!
If you believe the news stories from around the world, they would have you believe that danger lurks around every corner, and that we live in division. Turn the news off. Yes, it’s true that you cannot legislate evil out of the hearts of mankind, but I believe in the goodness of people. I see acts of kindness every day. Simple acts that help, not hurt.

The first interview I did for my podcast was with Zetti. Although I had been interviewed hundreds of times, I had never interviewed anyone else.

What To Say…
What do you say when you don’t know what to say?
Thursday evening, I received an email from a dear friend of mine. She was letting me know that her beautiful, bright 24 year old daughter had committed suicide in early July. I was stunned and extremely sad at the same time. You want to say something to take away the pain they are feeling, but there are no words. All I could say was that I would keep her and all of her family in my prayers, praying for peace and clarity. And that I was sending light and love to them.
There are no words in these situations. Just be there.
Stories…
Behind the eyes of every person lies a story. Seek to know the heart of others. Look behind their outward appearance. See through them, don’t merely look at them…

Everyone is struggling with something. Let’s treat others with kindness…
