I found this article on Neruda very interesting as he’s not a writer that I know that well. I’ve ready other authors mentioned like Garcia Marquez and I really enjoyed his famous novel “100 Years of Solitude”. On this recommendation though, I’ll certainly be having a go at reading some of Neruda’s oeuvre. Many thanks! J Ireland

Thank you for these thoughts, Laura. You are, indeed, right … sometimes the smallest of moves can change your perspective entirely.

Depression makes people feel like things will never get better. For many, they can and do. I often use an image and metaphor that actually happened to me, to symbolize how things really can turn around. I was in my office (at the time, the 16th floor of the Old Barnett Bank building in Jacksonville.) I was talking to a co-worker, standing in the doorway of her office. I could see out her window, which opened right onto the view of another wall, thanks to the building’s C- shaped construction. As we finished the conversations, I turned 90 degrees to return to my office and looked out the window I was now facing and saw a beautiful Florida day, with sunshine, cumulus clouds and a view of the St. Johns river. Perspective. You can’t force it to change when you are depressed, but sometimes, it just changes- you wake up and you see the sunshine on the river.

[...] Cathy Brooks talks about what Ego and Responsibility and being careful what you share on the world wide web or what I call the Bizarre Bazaar. I actually love when I hear haters say that I’m an egomaniac because when they find out the truth behind why that logo exists in the first place, it can a big pill to swallow. In the vein of watching what you do and do not share online, I’ve shared oh, pretty much everything outside of my private love life. After traveling with my doc and my book for years I shared on stage that I was a self-mutilator and I committed to ending self-abuse. That’s when I was gifted with that I heart Angela Shelton logo. My friend Jennifer Welker jazzed it up a bit and that’s the one on the store. For me that logo has such a deeper beautiful meaning because I kept my commitment. I haven’t hurt myself in over six years and I’m wear my shirt proudly. [...]

Cathy, I applaud your courage in your own struggle and your courage in speaking out that you, too, suffer from this insidious illness. Suffering in silence leads to tragedy. In speaking out you not only help yourself but you serve as a great example to others who may be afraid to do so. May your own journey be a smooth one.
