Greetings,
Writing is something I do most days, except when I am in an extreme state. Usually I do not have a theme just thoughts, feelings, songs, poems, rants, raves, and observations – lots of them.
Today I have a theme, it came easily. Starting off at the new blog@cmhaniagara.ca symbolizes where everything starts…with HOPE.
My hope is to be understood. Understanding reduces FEAR – my greatest enemy. HOPE is the only thing stronger than fear. Understanding reduces stigma. It is hard enough battling myself all day let alone the rest of the world.
Today I am inspired by a former adversary who did not understand or believe in Mental Illness until his life was directly affected by it ( Some One You Know Or You ). Now he believes. Today we are friends who share much and grow together.
Hope to me means goals and goals mean ” I am going to try”.
I hope you share your hopes. By sharing maybe you will help others recognize that they have hope.
From this we grow…

it takes a lot of courage to help someone else, but it takes even more courage to help oneself at times. I HOPE that with this site, people will become aware; whether it be through society, school, work or the self. Hope does immaculate things.
