Quote of the day
"Loneliness doesn't come from having no people around one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible" Carl Jung - one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century.

Some of the loneliest times can be in the company of others when we feel unheard or misunderstood.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience, I find this story profoundly distressing - it literally takes my breath away.

I strongly advocate for increased funding to equip law enforcement agencies nationwide with comprehensive, ongoing continuing education in mental health awareness and crisis intervention. It is essential for officers to be able to distinguish between symptoms of mental illness and deliberate, incorrigible behavior. This behavior can't be accepted as a consequence of being in a career of unpredictable behavior. This didn't need to happen to de-escalate the situation. By prioritizing these resources, we can better support both those in crisis and the dedicated professionals who respond to them. Making training mandatory could truly be the difference between life and death; it was for Ben.

Any you would add? I am particularly partial to 6 & 9. Maybe they are pet peeves. How about you?

1. Never shake a hand while sitting.

2. Never talk bad about the food when you are the guest.

3. Don't eat the last piece of something you didn't buy.

4. Protect who is behind you and respect who is beside you.

5. Never make the first offer in a negotiation.

6. Don't take credit for the work you didn't do.

7. Dress well, no matter what the occasion.

8. Speak honestly: say what you think and mean what you say.

9. Ask more than you answer.

10. Leave the profane language for the less educated.

11. Avoid placing your phone on the table when eating with someone.

12. Listen, smile and most of all make eye contact.

13. If you're not invited, don't ask to go.

14. Never be ashamed of where you come from.

15. Don't beg for a relationship.

Always be careful with supplements anyway...but these (right now) especially. If you would like guidance on reputable brands, PM me.

Officials say there is an ongoing investigation into a reported salmonella outbreak linked to several dietary supplements.

Remembering Robin Williams on his birthday. While he made many laugh, he was hurting miserably inside. Remember to listen to those around you. It matters.
