Beyond Blue

I love to report success stories, because we need to hear them. We always need a piece of hope, and Beyond Blue reader Camille gave me one when she wrote this on the combox of my post “The Bipolar Singing Blogger Smackdown, Part 2,“: I recently was sprung from rehab and finally after 3 diagnosis…

Blogging for the Huffington Post has allowed me to meet so many other interesting bloggers. Like Anne Naylor! For a peak at all of her Huffington Post article click here. I love this part of Anne’s bio: Anne’s mission is: Building a better world on the solid foundation of individual health, wealth and happiness and the…

Sorry. I’m getting a little anxious for the bell to ring. It’s next weekend, March 8, that Daylight Savings starts.

Some of you may remember when Dr. Val Jones of Revolution Health interviewed me for their site. Now I have the opportunity to return the favor as Dr. Val has just launched her own company, Better Health, a multimedia enterprise with a mission to provide better health information to people like us, who have to…
