Beyond Blue

So after I stole, I mean shared, all of Holly’s friends, I decided to model my page off of hers. Except that I really couldn’t because there is a ton of stuff that she does that isn’t even related to Beyond Blue. And I thought I was the center of her universe!! It’s worth your…

Liz Spikol over at The Trouble with Spikol wrote a great blog post a few days ago that she actually LIKES office meetings. Because they are a reminder to her of how far she’s come. Birthday parties accomplish the same thing for me. This year is the first year I’ve paged through the “Oriental Trading”…

On the message board of my interview with Katherine Stone, author of the blog, Postpartum Progress, reader Cindy (I can’t believe I found it!) wrote this: Is it possible that the postpartum depression can turn into something that can last for so many years? I wish I knew for sure, but I believe what was…

Today, Wednesday October 24th, BlogHer, Postpartum Support International and Postpartum Progress are joining together to host Blog Day for the MOTHERS Act.

For whatever reason, it’s often when we’re in crisis that we begin to explore things of the spirit, whether by prayer, meditation, listening to…

In “Any Day with Hair Is a Good Hair Day,” I loved the story about “The House of a Thousand Mirrors” that Michelle tells at the beginning of her section on “Maintaining a Positive Attitude without Feeling Like a Human Smiley Face.” If you knew Michelle, you’d appreciate this tale even more, because Michelle isn’t…

In a previous post called “Six Things Cancer Patients Have Taught Me,” I outline a few techniques I have borrowed from my friends battling cancer. I realize the two are different in many ways, but many of the same recovery tricks work for both. To read my post, click here.

In honor of National Breast Cancer Month, Beliefnet (actually, I think my editor, Holly, did it, but I’m probably not supposed to say who) compiled a beautiful gallery of prayers, mantras, and simple words of comfort for those who are living with cancer. To visit the gallery, click here.

Dear God, In Luke’s gospel Jesus tells his disciples this parable: A widow begs a crooked judge for a just sentence against her adversary. After lots of badgering and nagging, the judge says, “Dang, Lady, I’m tired of you. I’ll send your guy to jail if you leave me alone.” The judge is afraid that…
