September 11th used to be just another day. Then, it became my son’s brother’s birthday. Nine years later…September 11th became something else. September 11th, 2001 became the day of the destruction of American innocence. It became a day controlled by terrorists and their plot of destruction. It became a day of horror and fear. [...]

Suicide is not a pleasant subject. It is a word that makes most people cringe. People who have lost a loved one to suicide cringe too; they have more of a reason to be disturbed by the word. Most of us don’t stop to think about suicide death on a daily basis…but maybe we should. For [...]

Nine years is a relatively short amount of time to change lives, community, and environment. Luckily, Franklin D. Roosevelt didn’t let that thought stop him when he created the Civilian Conservation Corps through his impactful New Deal which created over 59 agencies that worked to help America get out of the Depression Era.

Have you ever known someone who is in a totally disfunctional relationship and just seems destined to repeat patterns of negative and destructive behaviors? I was thinking on this last night with a young teenaged couple that i know. They spend all of their time together…fighting…hurting…crying…begging…breaking up…for-giving….manipulating…emotional arm wrestling…isolating…and starting all over again. They [...]

I heard a recent news story about a woman in Germany who chose to commit suicide over moving to a nursing home. Did she not have loved ones to live with; or some other option? She consulted with a knowledgable person about what drugs/chemicals to mix together to kill herself because she said she [...]

There are people who wish to die everywhere around the world…they each have their reasons…some actually make it happen. Those people are often desperate, sick, experiencing financial, emotional or physical difficulties which can cloud, or influence their decision to take their own life.
