The 8 Best Spiritual Sound Bites of Graduation Advice
I can't remember all the speeches at my commencement ceremony. But I do remember looking up on the stage to see my best friend, the valedictorian of our class, sitting there among all the luminaries, and wondering how in the world she did that when English was her second language. It still blows me

Ring the Bells That Still Can Ring
Last year this time I delivered the Commencement address to my alma mater, Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana. Since it is graduation season, I thought I'd repost it. Thank you, President Mooney. And thank you to all the professors and staff of Saint Mary’s, especially those who have c

Label Me, Please
For a long while I was afraid to write things such as "I am mentally ill" or "I am bipolar." I was afraid of labels. By calling myself a manic-depressive would I trap my psyche in "sick" mode? By accepting my diagnosis of bipolar disorder, would I prevent healing? By writing the words "I am menta

"On Wednesday, I will leave my husband of twelve years. He is a depressive. He uses prescribed medication and has available to him a phalanx of good therapists. But he also self-medicates with alcohol. He disdains therapy. He refuses to confront his disease."She communicated this partly as a respons

Therese:
Wonderful…..marvelous…….exceptional…
Laughter is so important and so needed at this time of year for us who deal with this every single day.
You are so helpful. I really needed to read this on this morning of Dec. 20th.
Of course I am ready for Christmas. Because I am so obsessive. I was ready last week!
I had a party on Saturday with my whole family. It was my 40th Wedding Anniversary.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy, healthy New Year with your family.

thank you for all that you do,
Pat

Merry Christmas, Therese, and I wish you a very blessed New Year!

They forgot bipolar. “Joy to the world — I’ll have a blue Christmas — Joy to the world…”

So need to incorporate humor where ever we acceptably can. Next to God, humor is the thing that helps me get through each day, even if I’m laughing at myself.

Thank You so much Therese, you make such a positive difference to me and are so appreciated.

Blessings you All
