Hi, I joined Care2 mostly for the Sharing. I'm not a heavy activist nor inclined to push my views on others. I do feel it's important to communicate the things you are passionate about (or those things that affect your life that may also affect others).
We all want a happy, prosperous life and to have a better world. Some seem to achieve this more than others. As I've gotten older I've come to believe that it is only through coming together and seeing our commonalities, rather than our differences that the world is made better.
I am here as an advocate for understanding of Mental Health issues (my daughter has Schizophrenia). She is a lovely, lovely person, beautiful in her being, who has been deeply hurt and suffered much with this ILLNESS. The misunderstanding of others only adds to the suffering. That is something we need to change.
I also joined in a shameless effort to promote my website, which is an offering to all who are looking for something to lift them up. It's primary purpose is not to sell you stuff :) but to give inspiration, hope and sharing. It's based on things I've found that help me live a happier life.
The site is based on self-help and spiritual thoughts but is not made to change your beliefs or push mine - only as an offering if there's anything on it that helps your life :)
