I didn’t write this, but it ties in perfectly with my message which is “Mental Illness should be de-stigmatized.”

September is National Suicide Prevention Month, please remember that having a mental illness is not fun, and it’s not something we asked for, but it can be serious if left untreated.

If you need help, get help. There’s absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

I’m not a Doctor, but I am a sufferer.

You are a beautiful human being.

If you or  loved one is considering harming themselves, please call THE NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION LIFELINE: 1-800-273-8255, or visit their live chat at www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org

I love you all simply because you’re you.

I am a freelance writer who makes words beautiful, exciting, persuasive, concise and alive, if a little loopy sometimes. I was born in S. Korea on an army base, and traveled the world from the age of 10 months into the present day, so I know a lot about many different topics. I've spent the last 22 years (and counting) raising three children into responsible young adults, and that is no mean feat. I've been writing for as long as I can remember: fiction, non-fiction, creative writing, poetry, creative non-fiction and all that falls in between. I'm a great researcher. I am also easy to work with. If you've got a topic that needs to be written about, I can write it. I've been married for 26 years to the same man, and that's a whole topic unto itself! If you need a freelance blogger or writer, hire me. I won't let you down.
