I just want to let you all know that I have been on DS for almost two years now. When I first joined, I had recently been discharged from a two week stay at Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital. I have come a long way and thanks to Daily Strength, I was able to grow, learn, and share. Knowing my triggers and Using Affirmations and Cognitive Therapy has been a big help in my recovery....

As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess! I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok. When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...
This was actually reported by a teacher. After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following: we always used to spend the holidays with grandma and grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house but grandpa got retarted and they moved to Florida. Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. Th...

Time moves forward with or without you and I can't believe it will be 9 months since I lost Collin and Cailyn. I remeber the day so well, how I got to see them in the NICU before they passed away. I dreamed about my son last night and I was standing there touching him and praying over him with a smile on face. So maybe that's closure for me I don't know. But Go...
