About Me

I've been where you are.

A well-known scientist friend once called me off-beat.

At the time, I was flailing in a puddle of neediness and worried over the remark, even though he explained that he liked that about me.  Today, I realize he hit the mark dead on, and I not only accept that I am off-beat, but I embrace it! Hooray to me for being a unique creature! The needy part of me is nearly gone too.

That being said, please don’t expect to read some boring posts on mental health. There’s plenty of that online already.  Also, I didn't want to get into the whole Sylvia Plath thing that many depression blogs deal with. What I want to share with you is my road trip through years of depression and chronic illness, with side trips into anxiety, and hopelessness...I want you to share a sheltering place where you can find encouragement, peace, laughter, and hope.

If you despair, there is Light. If you have anxiety and panic, here’s a safe place. If you feel hopeless, here is Hope.  If you feel that you are in a dark pit, here is a hand-up. 

As I've said... I've been where you are....occasionally I still visit. 

Thanks for visiting,

Raven
