I realize many of my new followers are here because of Gabriel, but I do write a twice weekly mental health article. I struggle a lot in the winter. Today's article is about what helps me, and maybe some of these steps will help you, also.

Dropped off winter coats at a school today. Saw this sculpture—kids laughing, carefree. But how can they be carefree without a coat? Or food? If we’re able, we’re responsible. Caring for the least among us is how we build real community. #CompassionInAction #WarmthForWinter

Today's mental health article was truly fun to write, and that's not always the case. Sometimes I write about trauma, my own mental health, and it's helpful, but exhausting. Today's is about free, or low cost ways to beat the winter blues. I hope you'll read it

How long since you've been totally spontaneous about something? That's the topic of today's mental health article. I'd love it if you'd give it a read. A lot of it is based on what I've learned from Gabriel :)
