Why Speak Out?

Many people might ask me, why are you so public about your life and your past struggles with mental illness.  And my answer is simply this, there are many people I have met and will continue to meet that need to know there is hope out there.  They need to know there is a good life for them with treatment, with taking simple steps each day to live beyond fear.

There are many times that I have shrunk from the responsibility of sharing my story.  There are times when I have been fearful that people will be repelled by it details, and my past.  I have decided that there are far too many people that could benefit from knowing the both the triumphs and the tragedy of my story that I chose to speak out again.

It is my hope that this transparency will bring for clarity not only for the people with mental illness but also the friends and family that have been affected as well.  This is my life.  I live to see the day when more people realize, this is their life to own, to create and to make a better future for themselves.  I thank you for listening, this is a awesome journey we share!
