Action.

"The act of helping someone  in need  doesn't come as naturally to people as it should and people  suffer in a  variety of ways because of that.  But people suffer everyday  with  mental illness and thoughts of suicide, without anywhere to turn because we're afraid to talk about those things.   
 
This must change.  We must do more."

It's been several months since I published those words and never have they been more true.  Recent events have brought mental illness to the front and I hope it will lead to discussion and action. 

We must never lose that hope that resides inside each of us.  While the media insists to focus on the worst of our nature, it's up to us to be a positive influence on those around us.
