Be the difference — September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, so before I dive into the stories I have chosen to highlight this week, I want to talk a bit about that. If you’re one of our regular readers, you’re aware that Marilyn Glover also wrote about this topic last week. For my personal…

Be the change — Every morning, I drive my youngest to school. She gets to sleep a little later, and I get to watch her walk inside the school and at least know she was safe up till that point. (I have serious anxiety issues, especially when it comes to my kids. Don’t worry…

Suicide Prevention — Fiction — They darted past her, and her eyes followed them, desperate for something good to cling to. She remembered collecting them as a kid. A quart jar with a cloth over the top, with airholes so they wouldn’t die. Those moments spent looking at them, the light their backsides beamed out…

What on Earth would I do? — I figured I would hop on one of Subhi Najar’s newer challenges, and this was the first one I came to. If any of you would like to participate and haven’t yet, I’d love to see your answers! Feel free to tag me, so I won’t miss them. :) If…
