Just wrapped a fab chat with Travis White. We dive deep into #mentalhealth and #self-care. The conversation took some fascinating turns, especially when we explored: "How #running became a pivotal element in managing my #bipolardisorder and #anxiety." Full episode, coming soon! #podcasts #depression

Opened the 'Zon this morning to 666 reviews. I'm not superstitious, but hey. Anyone who has read but not yet rated DHAMT, feel like throwing some stars at it to move the review stat off this number? Please and thank you!!! #writingcommunity #booksky #depressionhatesamovingtarget #authorlife

My evening plans:
#jimmykimmel #firstamendment #boycottadvertisers
A screenshot of a post from Dan Satterfield which reads: Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel. The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or nextstar station in your area. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week. Note the companies that bought tv adverts. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company. Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact. Nothing. This is much more effective than calling Disney. We did cancel Disney but calling Joe's Jeep dealership who buys ads on the local nextstar or Sinclair station will have a BIG impact. Joe doesn't need that grief. He will find another station to buy adverts on.

I love this question and forgive me for the repeat answer, but when I saw Ed in the finish chute of the 2012 Columbus Marathon, my first. The race was winding down and they let him past the fences. I fell into his arms weeping. #runchat #onehundredpercentgoodhusband #columbusmarathon #hesakeeper

My second marathon was Columbus 2013. The first one, in 2012, had been tough. This race meant that first one wasn't a fluke. Plus, the medal looked like stained glass. The light shines through when you hold it up to a window. #runchat #marathonrunner #columbusohio #cbusmarathon
Race medal from the 2013 Columbus Marathon. The photo shows the medal held up to a window with light shining through the 26.2 numbering that looks like stained glass.
