My Vision

I want to open a retreat. My current vision is an eco-friendly resort located in the midwest, where guests can enjoy peace and tranquility in an open learning environment, surrounded by nature, featuring healthy food and classes to assist in the journey. The focus would be on wellness and whole living. Those who are experiencing a divorce, new moms, on a personal journey, seeking creative opportunity, grieving a loss, alleviating chronic mild mental illness, or seeking quiet haven would benefit from this space.

Suicide in the Spotlight

Marie Osmond's son apparently killed himself. Amazingly, many Americans noticed - but only because Michael's mom was famous.

Are we paying enough attention to those we love? What about the neighbor next door? If we inject a little bit of energy ahead of time, can we thwart an attempt? I'm not saying that this is a solution to the world's problems, but caring goes a long way.

In a CNN article on suicide (http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/03/11/save.friend.suicide/index.html), the author talks about how friends can help. Alexis more describes how her co-worker, "Ed", saved her life just by stopping by because he was worried about all the troubles she was facing.

There's a popular bumper sticker that says "practice random acts of kindness". It might save someone's life!
