Four Talks over two days in a small northeast Iowa Town reminded me why I fight the losing but much-needed mental and emotional health awareness battle.

To truly realize a better life, we should realize, it’s rarely about ourselves.

It’s not as rare as we think when life creates a lightning strikes type of moment, we should be more open to hanging out in them!

The best way to make decisions is to follow the same process repeatedly with adjustments, Not invent new ways with every problem.

So much anger; I don’t understand what so many led with it. There is so much good stuff going on around us.

Just passing through- a saying that carries a certain meaning. Maybe we should use the mantra a little more often!

A search for new music took me to a good place. It’s almost like when we seek out new experiences; we realize we have so much connected us to others.

We either grow or shrink as humans. We need a huge growth spurt in compassion in our society.
