Does the site look crowded? I’m still not sure about the Twitter roll.
Is there something you would like to see?
Do you ever look at Footer Widgets?
I want the site to flow, easy to read with the post taking center stage.
Thanks a million for your help! Hugs to my friends and followers. You keep me running when there’s no energy to move! There are so many people helping in this small community.

Here are a few books which helped me understand miscommunications in my marriage and how to work thru distrust. One encouraged me to take the first step to look deep inside and come out better off. I hope you will benefit from reading. If so please leave me a comment or let me know books who’ve helped you. :)
How We Love-I learned how to have a healthy relationship with my husband. I found this book most helpful, all communications not just with partner.
Brain On Fire–My month of madness-I haven’t read, it’s on top of list.
Shock: The Healing Power Electroconvulsive Therapy by Kitty Dukakis .
Bipolar Disorder-A Guide for patients and Families
The Gifts of Imperfection-Let go of who you think you’re supposed be, embrace who you are.
Seven Choices-The book helped me immensely, I began to grieve my grandparents. She inspired me to become a Minister.

of the light and dark
IS A MIRACLE,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.”

Years after my diagnoses with Bipolar Disease. I thought it was time to participate in my medical care. To understand layman’s terms, what to expect and when to call doctor. Getting on the same page as you learn doctor speak and how they hear.
A proficient Psychiatrist with a background helping Mentally Ill patients. Please save your time and money going to General Doctor. Most are not versed in how drugs work together or not. Psychiatrist understand drugs, spend more time to make diagnoses and discuss the drugs to help.
A Therapist, my foundation in healing. The key to healing is understanding yourself. They can help take the weight you’re carrying around.
Don’t stop taking your medication. Medications cause side effects, the drugs you buy at CVS have side effects. Every drug has side effects. It may take 6-8 weeks for the medicine to level off. If you want to change a drug in a week, please understand, there are no short cuts. Short cuts not only prolong the treatment and can be dangerous. If you’re determined to stop medicine, Call your doctor first! If you become delusional, psychotic or determined to hurt yourself go to local hospital.
Keep a journal to document the changes in mood. Keeping a log helped my doctor see my mood was cycling. A medication change was needed.
There are many ideas on how people were helped or not by medicine. I will admit a couple of times a new drug to current mix sent me reeling. I am always on the internet reading about each drug especially now with Lyme medications. I’m sharing my experiences in hopes of helping someone.

There’s a new petition taking off on Change.org, and we think you might be interested in signing it.
Many domestic violence victims report staying in abusive and dangerous relationships out of fear of leaving their beloved pets behind. Their abusers often threaten to harm, maim, or even kill their pets if they attempt to leave. Studies have shown this is the case for one out of every four women trying to escape domestic violence.
Right now, there are very few domestic violence shelters that can accommodate pets, making the choice to leave even harder. But there is hope: the Pets and Women’s Safety Act, or PAWS Act, would supply funding to help shelters take in people and pets fleeing violence. This would alleviate abuse victims’ fears about their pets’ safety, and get them out of dangerous situations faster.
These funds are urgently needed by shelters across the country, and Congress should pass this legislation quickly. It would help save lives. By signing the petition, you will let Congress know that the time to pass the Paws is now.
To sign the petition or read more information on The Paws Act.
