Youth Suicide on the Rise

I recently attended a conference in Columbus with multiple behavioral healthcare providers from across Ohio. During the initial Keynote Address, Director Lori Criss from the Ohio Department of Mental health and Addiction clearly outlined Governor DeWine’s plan to address mental health and addiction for Ohioans. Of particular concern was the growing numbers of Suicide in Ohio, especially among youth. While I had experienced some of this disturbing trend in parts of northwest Ohio, the National picture was less clear.

THANK YOU for your Support and Generosity!

Thursday night, with a packed house, Dr. Alan Keyes shared a motivating message that now is the time to do more, to do what is needed to make a difference and recognize and preserve all life as created in His image and as recognized as endowed with inalienable rights by our Founding Fathers. We thank you for being a part of the 20^th annual Benefit for Life and for supporting the work of the Foundation for Life year-round. It is through your generosity, passion, prayers and commitment that we are able to be a trusted, impactful voice for the voiceless in Northwest Ohio and in Columbus.

Good Morning Everyone,Welcome to another beautiful day in paradise.

Look with the eyes of your soul and see the beauty in others and you will see you are in paradise.
October 14th is Indigenous Peoples Day! A day to remember and honor the wisdom and gifts that the Indigenous People/Native Americans have given us. They especially showed us how to respect all life, including Mother Earth. They deserve a good life, equal opportunities and our respect and gratitude. There are many ways to help and support them. check out: the Northern Plains Reservation Aid at NPRAprogram.org (for the elderly) and St. Labre Indian School at stlabre.org (for the children). These are just two examples of how you can help.
Here is a bit of Native American wisdom:
“We all come from the same root, but the leaves are all different.”
–John Fire Lame Deer, LAKOTA

Thought for the Week

Good Morning Everyone! Welcome to another beautiful day in the neighborhood. It’s beautiful because you’re my neighbor and you’re part of it.

It’s a new day, a new week. Tomorrow starts a new month. We are entering a season of change. All of nature will be changing. Animal’s coats and furs will be thickening so they can be warm; trees will begin to drop their leaves leading to their dormant stage, etc. These changes come about smoothly. This is life, ever evolving, ever moving forward. It’s a never ending process and it is beautiful. We love the changing colors, the cooler temperatures, the wonderful sights, smells and tastes of autumn.
