Maintaining balance between what you do and how you relax – your work and your fun – is an admirable goal. Don’t forget that life is supposed to be fun, interesting, expansive, even joyous! Staying stressed, anxious, worried, overcommitted and overwhelmed is a constant state for many and it’s very bad for you. You know […]
I had an awesome experience leading a Sequential Intercept Mapping workshop here in Lexington. Thanks to the leadership and support of our Mayor, Linda Gorton, we were able to receive a grant from SAMHSA Gains Center to host it. Professionals who work with people with mental illness from across our system of care came together […]
How do you honor someone who is loved when they pass? As rites of passage become more frequent, we need more thoughtful, considered, inspired ways to make it special. Obligatory rituals in sterile settings are not acceptable, being painfully impersonal and disconcerting. Thankfully, options that are simple, personal, and real are being embraced, like in […]
You can’t overestimate the impact of your positive thoughts and actions. You have tremendous power and influence on everything and everyone around you; it creates a ripple outward that impacts thousands. Remember this when you’re inundated with negative news about the impact of people’s greed and hatred. What you do makes a difference and can […]
Sam Quinones’s powerful statement that “community is stronger than any drug” had us spellbound in a talk he gave at the Kentucky Judicial Mental Health Summit.

The passion and love our leaders communicated in their inspired talks had us spellbound. They were speaking to the graduates of our Mental Health Diversion Court, which I am honored to be a part of. They provided a message for everyone. When Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton congratulated them for their hard work and thanked them […]
I didn’t know I was seeking peace, until it found me. After several weeks of being focused on daunting work expectations, with seven days of presentations on top of my usual responsibilities, I was done. Months earlier I had scheduled a trip to Oaxaca to write my book. Little did I know that it […]
I’m in a warm beautiful place to write on my book. Solchi in Oaxaca , Mexico. Don’t hate me! I was talked into going by a friend who also has a writing project. I thought it was a terrible idea and only at the last minute agree to go. So glad I did. I’m going […]
Just when I thought the art of manners was lost, feeling despair over the rise in violence, watching rudeness on social media, as if it’s a source of pride, the opposite is shown.
