Hi ,

It's Thursday,

Quote:

"When you make a good decision, you want to own it because it helps your self-esteem. When you make mistakes, I want you to own those too, because that's how you learn. If you can't own bad choices, you can't own the good."
--- Eric Hipple

Eric Hipple's life story is worth reading. He was our Detroit Lions quarterback back in the 80's and appeared to live a charmed life. At least that's what outward appearances lead many to believe.

So what happened? After you read the story, and I hope you will, I hope you look at mental health issues a little differently. Here's a link to just one article and there are so many more.

I worked at the Pontiac Silverdome during his tenure there as our quarterback and thought he was a terrific athlete. Turns out he's a heck of human who rose back up after events you and I might find hard to imagine.

Hope I've given you some things to think about today. That's the point of what we do - we try to lift people up. May this help you too.

Have a loving and blessed day,
Marlene
