While we are counting positive COVID-19 cases and deaths daily I think we need to start sharing the number of people with thoughts of suicide, attempts and completions. Oh but wait!

Monday Motivation – Who are we, really?
We can remove monuments, statues, flags and any other remembrance of history but that will not remove a person’s way of thinking.

Change occurs by changing the way we think about ourselves and ourContinue reading “Monday Motivation – Who are we, really?”

Brain and Imaging
Neuroimaging. This is EXACTLY what we need …not more medication. While taking a class in school on brain and imaging I was wondering if this would ever become part of diagnosing in my lifetime.

Monday Motivation – Quarantined = Start New Habits
Every day I go to work I pray I do not get this virus. I know the severity of it if I do. Symptoms can come on quite quickly.
