Sorry I've not been posting lately. I was preparing to give a talk for a group of mostly women who have an interest in mental illness. Some of those who attended were sufferers (you know I refuse to call patients "consumers"). By the way, where I live there's a new desire to come up with a nicer name for mental patients, perhaps because I brought the subject up at one of our MHAC (Mental Health Advisory Council)meetings. If any of you can suggest a good word that isn't so generic and cold, but would still not scream mentally ill to those who don't need to know, please share it with me.
My talk went well, according to my husband, who was there mainly to drive me the long distance and to sell my book to those interested.
I also got to speak personally and pray for some of those who were ill, after the talk, so I believe it was a successful evening all round.
Hope you're all doing well. I should be able to get down to some serious posting now.
Blessings,
Annie
