As I follow numerous conversations on social media, it becomes more and more evident all the time that we are experiencing a mental health crisis in our society. How do we maintain hope and stability when it seems like the world is caving in around us?
My response:
I am trying to stay rooted in prayer. Our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That is as stable as it gets. Unfortunately, my faithfulness in maintaining a strong prayer life suffers from a lack of discipline at times. In these difficult days, weeks, and months (almost a year), it has been a lot easier said than done to maintain a positive approach to life. I have realized more than ever that I am a struggling pilgrim seeking holiness.
Writing this blog is therapeutic for me. (I am not sure of the impact on my readers.) I have over seven years of processing my thoughts contained in these pages. This blog has also prompted me to be constantly looking at the world around me for inspiration. I have accumulated over 4,000 photos in the last six years because of this blog, That enables me to look back and savor the memories. The photo above was taken on December 8, 2018 on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Notice the fall colors still present in the month of December. Now that is a good memory!!!!!
My dear readers, I simply want to encourage you today to take care of your health--physically, spiritually, and emotionally. If I can help you find hope and healing in any way, feel free to reach out.

Today we celebrate The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. May we say "YES" to the call of God in our lives as faithfully as our Blessed Mother did!
