Save a life and support local Not-For-Profits

I don’t sell things through my post or even advertise for clients for my private practices, but rather use my blog as a way to get important info that I find out to people.  That is what I am doing with this phone Application.   As a person who had a car accident as a result of speeding to yet another meeting and talking to my staff on my cell phone.  I know what a life saver TextNoMore can be.

I have seen this trend in my own work with gay and lesbian collage students. I think it is important to point out that the increased mental health problems are not so much the result of being gay on collage campuses as was the case 5 years ago, there still remains as constant percentage where this is the case. But as the article points out more early diagnoses and I would add the increased stress that collage students face with a very different job market to face after graduation.

Fate is stronger than me. It may also be wiser. When I quit fighting fate, I find that my life is better than it seemed. There is more to enjoy than I realized, and I learn it is possible to tolerate considerable discomfort and still feel basically happy.
