How You Can Support My Mission

How You Can Support My Mission & This Blog 

Maintaining a mental health blog with up-to-date information, articles, and resources can be labor intensive.  It is a labor of love with the goal of making mental heath support and help more accessible during a time when finding help can be difficult and confusing.
 
Finding a good therapist can be challenging at best.  You can read my recent article on that topic here: The Hard Truth About Most Therapy 
 
I have resisted monetizing this blog through Google Ads because the ads are so annoying and take up large amounts of valuable readership space better used for my original purposes.
 
This is why I have added the option of making a voluntary donation, i.e., Buy Me a Coffee. 
 
  • Your donation will help this blog achieve its singular mental health mission, minus outside advertisers.  Meaning, it will continue to serve you instead of outside interests.

  • Your generosity will empower us to create positive change in our community by offering this updated self-help tool. 
  • There is a convenient QR code or Donation Button below:

     


    Thank you for your generous support! 

    Much gratitude for your kindness and believing in me.  Your donation truly matters.

    We Have Lost Our Way - How do we get back?

    As a society, as a collective, as a nation, and a world, we have lost our way. We have lost our ability to disagree and still peacefully co-exist together as fellow humans, who can love one another despite our differences. We have lost our ability to be humans together and derive a common purpose for being in community.

    For every human who perishes in an early death from violence, be it war, gun violence, perpetrated murder, etc., I shed tears of sadness about the enduring pain and loss this causes for a family and our society. Dear God, how did we get to a place where our grandchildren cannot be safe in school? Why is loneliness an epidemic?

    My take on this is that the computer and social media has created a depersonalized atmosphere where becomes easier and easier to dehumanize our fellow humans and "blame" everyone else for life's difficulties. This creates excuses to act out in violent ways, ignoring the consequences for our actions.

    My dear father always told me, two wrongs don't make a right. Retaliation, revenge, and senseless opposition serves no one. Especially our young people. Our greatest power comes from our power to choose.

    Today, I am asking you to stop arguing with people you disagree with and find some common ground. Stop reacting and choose to respond to others that fosters community and relationship. Let's stop fostering toxic reactions to circumstances we cannot control. Let's be grateful to be alive and be here together, instead of squandering our time picking other people apart.

    Tomorrow, I will write about how I accomplish living this on a daily basis. For today, I'm asking you to join me in recreating a civil and polite society. We can do this. And make no mistake, it will save lives.
